antigravity?

looks like the classic triple post to me Marty did you meet Jeremy and Jay coming down from their new route?

I never really seem to crash I guess because I have enough fat to burn in the long term that I dont run out of it. Thats probably why I have'nt taken up gel-sucking. However I will keep it in mind for the future. especialy the stuff TG makes with alcohol in it BARTENDER ANOTHER PINT OF GU!!! IM TRAINING!!!!

I never see GU for sale but all the stores seem to have either Power Gel or Clif Shot. Are they all basically the same or what? I have never sucked down ay of those gels yet. Dont 5thibnk i am Extreem enough to need em. Maybe for all night raving they might help.

it depends on the route... going alpine if you take the 3.5 instead of the 4 you might save some weight on certain routes.

We dont let the Tool bring his gun into Canada so if he wants to check your pass he is gonna have to hike or helicopter in from Baker I guess. Also the parking lot is in Canada so no parking pass required

its harder to open a beer with a prussik.

Is it worse or better than the Night N Gale or Synchronicity logs. enquiring minds and all that. Maybe we need a L-scale for log crossings where L1 = giant redwood with handrails and L12 = 45 degree incline 3 inch diameter devils club under 2 feet of water at lip of waterfall.

Take a parapente for a quick descent, or have a 'climbing slave' bring it up the standard route and meet you on top. The pocket death glacier doesnt usually slide off until August sometime if it does, although it has been known to go in July. It was still there recently.

Looking south 06/22 from about 20km north, the NE glacier of Redoubt looked to be in good shape.

Climbed this peak just south of Hope on Saturday. Fun scramble and great views of the North Cascades pretty much everything S to Pickets, Jack and Baker; East to Grimface; Coast Range north to Skihist and west to Golden ears. Wedge could be seen way way in the distance up Lillooet River valley. Lots of wildlife around. Deer, marmot, goat tracks but no goat; golden eagle, ruffed grouse in full display, mystery raptor (maybe a goshawk), and a great horned owl. no snafflehounds though. Maybe the eagle or owl ate 'em. Plenty of horsecock was gnawed on this trip.

haireball - short rpe is better in some cases but advantage of lots of rope out is more stretch hence less force on leader if second falls, like in aylward case above. if they had been spaced 10m apart instead of 25m (i assume) and 3rd guy fell, maybe he woulda blown off that crimper and gone sailing? or maybe not.

You can name one "Purple Helmy"

ok it is now totally obvious polishbarbie=agent orange. i think i read about bob's massage in savage love once. dan got a letter from a guy asking if his male massage therapoist blew him at the end ofthe massage, and the letter writer was straight-identified, was it wrong to enjoy it. bob do you blow all your clients or just the cute boys. and i guess the difference between you and a ho' is that the ho' doesnt massage the whole body and is cheaper?

isnt it better to go out in miserable conditions and fail than to stay at home? anyways maybe you should take up "Guaranteed Outcome Climbing" that Twight likes to bag on. it sounds like the ticket. I think you need lots of rope and Sherpas though. and not much Gu because Guaranteed Outcome is not Extreme.

Dwayner, I know you wanted inputs from the guys on this topic, but I'm going to put in my $.02 anyhow. Guys who are serious climbers are hard to date, for a number of reasons. I tend to avoid dating them. poor AlpineK
