Just a internet/gear junkie doing my part. I'll take you up on the beer though

right on lambone. I think I have #1 memorized, I have read #2 and #3 but, # 4, eh, I'm in denial, kind of like - if I don't know self rescue I won't need it. Guess I better get with the program

Hey, if we find out he had a North Face Electric blanket coat should that be an astric as well? The next guy can do the "triple crown" straight through to create another category/record. I'm with up-chuck on this one. I bet can kick your at a contest.

Beck, like I told Dru, NO Doobies. Check out his website, it looks legit to me.

here's his website: http://royrobinson.homestead.com/ nice poncho tent. No mention of ultralight bong Dru.

Wow - he would have buried me the first day. Quite an accomplishment. I'd like to hear more about what type gear he carried, besides running shoes and snickers bars.

Hiker finishes 'Triple Crown': 7,400 miles, 22 states for California man By Glenn AdamsThe Associated Press THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL, Maine — For 10 months, he started walking at sunup and didn't stop until nightfall. Yesterday, Brian Robinson, 40, of San Jose became the first person to hike each of the three U.S. National Scenic Trails in a calendar year when he reached the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail atop Maine's highest peak. He averaged about 30 miles a day since setting out Jan. 1, destined to complete the Pacific Crest Trail in the West, the Continental Divide Trail in the Rockies, and the Appalachian, which runs from Georgia to Maine. With a handful of well-wishers in tow, Robinson finished the 2,168-mile Appalachian yesterday atop mile-high Mount Katahdin. Tackling hiking's "Triple Crown" — 7,400 miles through 22 states — took Robinson through hip-deep snow, scorching heat and more than 1 million feet of upward climb. To save precious time, he ate while he walked: Snickers bars, peanut butter, anything calorie-rich. Nary a pound was shed from his 6-foot-1, 155-pound frame. Seven pairs of running shoes later, he looked no worse for the wear, save a bushy black beard he last trimmed in April. What nearly got him, he said, was the isolation. Since he never slowed down and barely stopped, no one could keep up long enough to make good company. Only 24 people have achieved hiking's Triple Crown in their lifetimes. In 1999, two men became the first to hike two of the trails in a single year. Robinson hiked the Pacific Crest — 2,645 miles from Mexico to Canada — in 84 days and six hours, averaging better than 31 miles a day before covering 2,588 miles of the Continental Divide, which has no fixed route over much of its length. Robinson, on leave from his job as a systems engineer for Compaq, saved $10,000 for the venture.

"I learned the basics of rock climbing while living in the burbs of Chicago. I didn't have any partners either. So I read lots of books and messed around with stuff. (burn freedom of the hills)" Lambone: No disrespect for a skateboarder turned buildingeer, but, Burn Freedom of the Hills? Come on Man! Not to put you on the spot either, but, what other single source is a more complete text for a newbie to learn how to climb safley? Any suggestions would be appreciated by this newbie. I like devouring climbing manuals. [ 10-31-2001: Message edited by: Bronco ]

That's funny, I just taught my 3 year old the "hot lava" game where you can't touch the floor 'cause it's "hot lava" or "molten magma" if you are a Dr. Evil fan Maybe that's what the news was

I don't know if you've looked here, but they got yer coat. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ in small and xs only for 150 bones

Jon & Timmy: Gremlins are great, more would be better. Where's the chainsaw? Ratings are not going to be of any legitimate value with this crowd so long as the arbitrary vote is allowed. Everything else is great!

Around the end of January- If I have the gear, I want to climb- Gib Ledges on Mt. Rainer, in the mean time, for training, I'll sit on my and

C'mon goat boy - presto logs were at one time part of a tree, trees are a naturally occuring phenomena of the environment and so is fire in some places, you just gotta think like Johnny Cockroach er ahh Chochran and you will see the natural light.

I just gave you all 5's except goatboy because I saw his picture on the National Enquirer and he scares me

DOH! OK jkrueger, you win this time - perhaps the attitude & ego was uncalled for. Good luck on your website. Thanks for straightening me out. I was due.

I havent been able to find the posting agreement on this site that prohibits offensive or unpolitically corect language. Seriously, where is it? I don't seem to remember agreeing to anything remotley like the one on your site.

Caveman: Your image didn't work, it basically says "loser, you are busted for unauthorized use of image"

Your agreement page prevents me from posting! I cant agree to that - what gives with all of the nicey nicey BS?

Minesota, eh. Not here.

And besides Tim - my producivity at work has significantly been impacted by YOUR website! one star for that!

These new icons are manky sick. Caveman and Tim have you guys been spying on me? You seem to know alot about my backside.

Sorry Tim that 1 star vote be mine. You were the victim of my test to see what the ratings did. I tried to vote for you again but, I guess you can only vote once. Battle cage your mama. I could crush you with my huge, pink ass -

I dont know about the Mountaineers courses but, I am somewhat of a newbie myself and can tell you that just because you don't have any desire to lead on rock now, doesent necesarily mean you won't sometime in the future. I really want to learn to lead (and I am) to develop as much self reliance as possible. It's safer to be in the mountains if you arent dependant on someone else knowing what to do in a given situation. Maybe I am just a control freak and need to have the security.
