Really? I had no idea. Thanks

Not yet, but this weekend looks good. Any one else going to give it a go?

Acctually there is such a small amount of mercury in monitors and tvs, unless they are dumping dozens then again there is likely no real problem. Oh and as you know mercury is very unlikley to migrate from the site either.

However, The sheer quantity of lead that is lying around there is way more of a toxicity problem than much of the shit they are shooting at. Either way as long as no one eats the soil there is very little human risk. And as long as they are not shooting into any bodies of water then it is very unlikley there will be any other risk.

They should make two areas that face each other separated by a narrow band of brush. Then maybe they would thin out the gene pool a bit.

It does not sound like it is broken to me. I broke mine a couple of years ago, and it healed in a month or so. If the pain is lingering around then it is likely not a break.

Last night the guy I had in doing drywall work tells me that earlier that day he went to the dentist to have some sort of tooth issue resolved and the dentist sent him home because his blood pressue was too low. I did not think too much of it and went back to playing video games. An hour later he tells me that he has been on some sort of perscription drug to lower his cholesterol for the last 4 years. Again I did not think too much of it. About another hour later I go up to see how he is doing, and he is drenched in sweat, and telling me he is going to stop for the night because he is not feeling too good. Then he left. What are the chances he made it home after leaving my house?

Actually it is lighter...

So I am heading to vail for a long weekend, and have no interest in skiing. Is there any ice nearby? Is there a CO climbers web page that is usefull? What can I climb, or where can I get info on climbing.

Fuck! Dont get my hopes up. I thought you were going to say that Air Force One had crashed taking Georgie, Dicky and Rummy with it.

Anyone got any first hand knowlege of the avalanche conditions in the tooth bowl or the imediatly surrounding area? I am thinking of heading in there this weekend assuming there is no more massive dumps of snow.

Basically what Dru is trying to say is that your chance of getting any good beer in Lilloette are zero to none so buy your beer in the US because as everyone knows canadian beer sucks balls.

" it would suck it be left hanging in space there." Yes it did... If rappelling I recomend you follow the ice and not go off of the face so that you will be able to get a v thread in. If you do go off of the face there is a pin that you could try your luck rapping off of, but you will likely die trying.

"Another rumor that the ramp rap on Synchro can't be done right now on double 60s. The tree on the face is gone, too." Yes it probably can. We had 55m ropes and were very close. No will will not be able to reach a tree at the top of the ramp, but you will be able to get to where the ice angle eases enough that you can walk to the base of the next pitch.

I think you are going to be pretty dissapointed. I highly recomend you go to the gym once find someone to go climb outside with and if the sun is out go check out the south facing Black cliffs just east of down town. Great Tieton River type basalt colums. You can get a guide book for about $5 call boise climbs. I was stuck there for several weeks a couple of years ago and had a great time climbing basalt. As far as places to get stuck Boise really is not that bad. Also take an afternoon and check out the World Center for Birds of Prey. Very cool if you have even the slightest interest in birds.

Does anyone know if it is feasable to get to the north side of Foraker by Traversing over Kahiltna Dome or Mt. Crossen? By feasable I mean traverse in a safe manner down the north or north west slopes of these mountains.

I have pictures of the climb from the day Forrest and Ade were talking about. We climbed the East Ridge, and desended the same way they did. Pictures can be found at: http://www.nwclimber.com/climbing/trips/joffre/joffre.htm

The boulder field at the end of Colchuck lake is covered in about 8 inches of snow making it very difficult and slow going. The road to Stuart Lake trail head is clear, and the trail to colchuck has anywhere from 2-4 inches of snow. Asgard pass looks like a total nightmare. I would recomend you go the snow lakes route.

I have several photos. http://www.nwclimber.com/climbing/trips/alaska2000/014.jpg http://www.nwclimber.com/climbing/trips/alaska2000/015.jpg http://www.nwclimber.com/climbing/trips/alaska2000/016.jpg http://www.nwclimber.com/climbing/trips/alaska2000/017.jpg

talk to wayne hes been on it.

Get out, you can be in control of the bike at 45 mph. Most of the time when I have problem on my road bike with drivers, I think they don't realize you can move just as fast as them at times. Depends on what you mean by control. 45 mph on a road bike means you can steer it, but there's no stopping it within a reasonable amount of time if something jumps out in front of you. You're also praying to baby jesus your front tire doesn't blow When living in Eugene I blew both tires after hitting a pothole at about 45 and managed not to crash. I dont recomend trying this.

What the hell would make you think that I might be hungover? No it was not me I stopped climbing with Ade after a cold unplanned bivy in which he kept trying to spoon with me and spent the whole night sputtering out comments about his gay lovers.

I was up there last weekend. Although possible you will either have to spend a large amount of time route finding on incredibly scetchy snow bridges or find a route accross the leftward trending rock rib that seperates the terror glacier from the snowfield below Mcmillan. there are huge crevasses accross nearly all of the terror glacier right now, and this will only get worse. We had a similar goal to you, but lazyness caused us to climb mcmillan instead. As I said, I think it could be done, but expect a many hour experience both there and back, or wait till next year.
