How 'bout a pube club in everett? There's a great big chinese restaruant 2 blocks from I-5 with a huge bar (with moderate smoke). good food too. HUNAN PALACE!

Drove up to the Monte Cristo Trailhead Sunday, only about 2" of snow on the road past the gate. Could be some big stretches of bare road in the south facing areas.

that guy looks like he's in for some serious rope drag when he reaches the slab proper!

looks really hard!

Yes! One time when I was absolutely famished and out of food, I liked the chocolate off of the top of one and found myself singing along to Barbra Striesand for the next week. I can't imagine what might've happed if I'd eaten the entire thing!

anyone know what the bolt anchor is for on that overhanging boulder just to the climbers RIGHT (oops) of the 3/4th class chimney up to the big ledge on the Great Northern Slab? just below Sonic Reducer. Noticed them in early January. Looks like you'd have to rap off of a tree to get to them if you were setting up a toprope.

I didn't realize they come in different flavors. They all taste kinda like dirt to me, but I still eat them.

I nominate Alex and Dave for Snaffelhound Tarzan Awards!

look at me, here is my secret place I won't tell where it is either!

well now I gotta see it!

finally got around to measuring and doing the conversion since I don't own a metric tape measure, and it's 68.58cm from end to end.

Just like those, I guess it's called the "Guide" model.

My wife wore these just twice and decided they were indeed too small. Euro Size 38 or US womens 7. Green Superfeet Insoles. $90.00 OBO email: ryan@rpmcousa.com

I just finished reading "Mountain Men" and it covered the first ascent of Denali and first several attempts. Anywho, most of those guys wore "mukmuks" or some Eskimo calf high mocasin type boot made from seal skin like these: that's what I'd wear, or some plastics.

an appropriate comparison of Iron Mike and Jacko http://espn.go.com/page2/s/bona/030218.html

Just get 'im in the ring

At what point in time did boxing become a glorified version of bigtime wrasleing? I still remember the good old days of sitting around my grandpas living room with my uncles and male cousins watching Ali defend his title in 1980. I hate what has happend to boxing in the last 10 years or so.. . Anyone want to fight Tyson? All you have to do is take a dive in the first minute of the first round. I bet Ali would still take him.

probably safe to assume the harder, run out slab routes at Static Point and Darrington are still in need of FNAs as well as Watusi Rodeo, Drury Falls and the E.D.M. route on Index.

So I stopped in the Pattagucci shop last yesterday in Seattle and checked the Dragonfly out. It appears to be made out of crepe paper with a DWR over it. Even on sale, I couldn't pull the trigger, this may be too light, indeed. Coincentally, this weekend I also came to the conclusion that all of the most light weight, high tech stuff in the universe won't help me.

In your dreams big guy! We would've been doing good to get half way up the couloir before dark!

I understand the scariest might be the view from the saddle between the North and Middle peaks of Index.

Spanker, this sounds an awful lot like whining. Considering the lack of snow and bounty of good weather days we have had, I have no sympathy for you. The weather and avvy danger shouldn't be as bad east of the crest. Go to the MOUNTAINS and come back with any kind of trip report!

No thanks, those hammers were pretty cool though.
