Dru - mistaken for Ron Jeremy from the hips down...

Yeah... someone sent me a PM asking about conditions on a certain route on a certain peak - so I try to reply only to find out this clueless person, that I have never sent a PM to, for some reason has me on their IGNORE LIST!!!!! Well I GUESS YOURE JUST GONNA HAVE TO CLIMB IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THEN WONDER BOY!!!!

according to www.bivouac.com the road is still blocked by avalanche as of last weekend.

The backcountry horsecock maker, the bouldering pad, and the #1 copperheads.

Or Cpt. Caveman who could just stop climbing every 10 feet and let everyone hit the end of their rope while . Here is some wisdom: always try to be #4 person. always put the heavy guy out in front to break snowbridges. if the heavy guy makes it across so does everybody else. if he doesnt then the #2 and #3 guys get to haul him out and the #4 guy gets to stand around and take pictures or look at his photocopy of Feedemo of the Hills and try and figure out why the Z pulley #2 and #3 have made isnt working....

i'd rope up with Terminal Gravity and we'd go five feet and take the rope off and simul-solo it...

BENEFITS OF THE ALPINE BELLY (AkA Ale Appendage) Originally written by some old dude c. 1974 1) Like camel's hump, carries valuable moisture and nutrition, meaning pack can be lighter 2) more surface area for mantels and slab climbing 3) can't see down past feet, so don't get scared by exposure 4) soft protection for vital organs in the event of rockfall 5) when eating, forms natural table 6) when sleeping, sleep on front - no need of Thermarest 7) great for seal sliding down snowslopes - preserves goretex on seat of expensive pants. 8) keeps you warmer - dont need as much clothing. especially good for cramped ice climbing belays. 9) counterbalances centre of gravity with large pack keeping one in balance over feet - more efficient hiking [ 06-21-2002, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

this topic brings a hidden second meaning to the common climber term "daisy chain"

beware - it ALWAYS rains in Index. Huge slugs the size of schoolbusses cruise the streets of town almost like some sort of 1950's B movie. Bigfoot lurks in the Espresso hut.

Did they bring along Nitro?

Yeah if some other country has a better solstice your stupid "free trade" Congress just passes a protectionist law imposing a 50% duty on foreign solstices... go figure that.... American sandbox you can't play, but give us your toys!!!

Rob Slater said - "K2, summit or die - either way I win!" Then he did both .

How many wands did you place, and, did you find that you needed to rope up at all ?
