Pic from today in downtown Bozemoan - Had a pretty good cold snap the last couple o days, highs in the single digits and teens in Bozeman, looking warmer for the weekend though.

Sabertooth, that wasn't a slam, I was just indicating that summitpost might be more interested exactly for the reasons you listed above and not many here seems real intriged by records like that, but I was. Have a nice day and try not to take this internet stuff too seriously, it can get under your skin if you let it.

Anyone interested in high altitude military action should check out the January Outside Magazine, it was a bitchen article about soldiers on the India/Pakistan border fighting and living at up to 22,000 feet. One hardcore MOFO lived at like 21,000' for 180 days, aparantly some kind of summitpost.com record. Awesome article though.

Why is the hot tub an all guy event. It is more fun with girls, boys Uh, does anyone else see that little pink thing between that guys right elbow and hip? I can't even look at the picture anymore, it's like trying to have a conversation with a person who has a big hairly mole on their face and you can't STOP STARING!!!

and a couple of climber babes too!

NO STARS FOR YOU!

I think Fred's was a good place, maybe a little difficult to find if you dont' know where snohomish is. Good beer, a little pricey.

sounds ominous. Sorry to hear about the skiers, it makes no difference if they were heliskiers from Rio or X-country skiers from Norway, none of them deserved to die in that avalanche.

I thought it was eastside's turn!

yous guys leave me outta this, I never spray anyways Mattp, do what you gotta do, I appreciate mostly spray free Trip Reports and Route Conditions. If I climbed more, I'd probably like them better, but that's a different story.

I remember a group like this that was planning to camp in the desert prior to Desert Storm and block the US tanks from rolling into Iraq. Never heard anything about it again. I figured they were either run over by tanks and nobody noticed or they didn't make it to their destination. Seemed kinda silly to me anyway, like setting up some tents in the rolling plains of Nebraska to stop cattle from stampeding to South Dakota. Silly people!

nice web site and the guy's not a bad writer. some good photos too. http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Forest/7290/climb/climbpage.html

in case anyone else was wondering about this glue issue, here's some instructions I found on gluing a super gaiter that leaves an exposed boot sole (like the OR X Gaiter): On virtually all boots it will be necessary to glue the toe onto the rand of the boot. This is best done by turning the toe inside out and then fitting the heel of the gaiter to the boot. Then spread glue over the front of the boot rand and flip the gaiter toe over pushing it onto the boot and temporarily fixing it in place with sellotape. The best glue for the job seems to be Freesole, though any seam sealant should do.

So Ray and his mutt were up on the Mtn. Loop HWY hmm..... Man and his dog stuck atop ice caves Herald staff VERLOT -- A Snohomish County search and rescue team was called out Sunday to rescue a man and dog trapped on a ledge atop the ice caves near Verlot. The 20-year-old man had been hiking in the area with a friend when he became trapped at about 2:30 p.m., Snohomish County sheriff's Capt. Kevin Prentiss said. The friend then walked to the Verlot ranger station to report the problem. The ice caves are just off Mountain Loop Highway near Verlot. More than 15 people were looking for the man late Sunday afternoon. Prentiss did not know by press time how the man became trapped, but he said there is a search-and-rescue mission in the area at least once a year. "The ice caves are neat, but a lot of the time, people do things there that are not too smart," Prentiss said. This story can be found at: http://www.heraldnet.com/Stories/03/1/20/16390068.cfm

I think he's taking a nap, he's obviously a smoke jumper, and his heads too close to the ground to be pukin, it'd splatter all up in his face and his back's not arched like they do when you are really heaving. And you never piss, crap or puke in the uphill direction.

you and kurt should start a used truck lot on hwy 99. I can get you a good deal! I'd venture some advice that someone with some xtra time and a garage give matt the $1,000, buy a manual and a head gasket and you'd have a rig with another 150k to go. I have a friend who had an '86 and we attempted to kill it several times. It just kept coming back for more. Infact, his younger bro rolled it at high speed off a loggin road into a clear cut (after we put a homeade body lift on ), landed on it's wheels and drove it home. Pretty indestructable. almost as good as a ford. but not quite.

how many bodies have been blown in there through your chipper?

It'd be a better weapon than the soft pack. and you could use it for a helmet in a pinch, it would probably deflect rockfall better than a softie as well. I wonder if you could use it to protect your ass while glissading, use it kinda like a sled.

thanks mvs!

you really want to get back on his "shit list" dontcha

anybody else try to look at http://www.alpinelite.com/ lately? I'm gonna miss the chest beater awards and dirtbag of da month. oh well, at least theres www.snafflehound.com for Cascade softmen to browse. KEEP IT ROWDY MOFO!

You know, next to the snow drift, and that funny looking stick.....

Not to be confused with any established Clean aid or free climbing routes. You'd think everybody knows this, but, pins still show up on the lower town wall's free routes for some reason.
