Chris: If you are climbing with RMI, you'd better have the gear they list. They are pretty strict about it and may leave you in the parking lot if you don't. I climbed Rainier with them a few years ago and have a parka, pack and sleeping bag that would work for you. If you are interested, send me an email. ryan@rpmcousa.com

It seemed like there used to be a tree at the base of cunning stunt. Or was it just a big pile of sticker bushes? If you move the floating bridge to the right (facing the trail from the RR tracks) it'll sit on some rocks that were probably placed there as a bridge abbutment. Then you don't have to hike up with wet feet or try to dance across the Beaver dam and bushwack back up to the trail.

I've been in a few fancy restaruants in Montana ($50/plate) and down at the bottom of the wine list find PBR in cans for $1.00.

Are you in the witness protection program?

I'd just ductape a bat hook to a micro edge and climb on!

Last year in mid May I camped in Glacier Basin overnight. Temps were in the upper teens and windy, it was probably sub zero on the summit. Two weeks later it was sunny and 80 when I hiked through the same area. Bring everything.

I hear some of the catbirshit species has infact survived by taking shelter in the bungholio of the microrgasm Claudushopperus. Urban legend? I think not!

Thanks for the tip erik!

I know! I mean he just builds his camp anywhere he likes!

You forgot to mention your Makrov in the Gear notes pal. Mighta been handy for triggering that windslab.

Me and my naturally destructive friend J picked up a side job from another property manager guy that involved limbing several little fir trees up to about 8' and chipping the branches. The reason for the project is a homeless dude had constructed a camp under the trees and the Tenants in the building were freaked out when he started aggressivly panhandling and harassing them. Anyway, we get done with the limbing and chipping and I call the rental yard to come pick up the chipper and comment on how nicely done the hobo camp is with an old kitchen chair and some planks for a table. J is feeling his destructiveness that day and starts grabing anything made of wood and shoving it through the chipper. Pretty soon, he's got this homeless guy's entire camp chipped up and is trying to feed his sleeping bag through it when homeless guy arrives on the scene with a look of shock and awe on his face. He just turned around and walked away.

Throwing rocks into the chipper is not a good way to earn a latte.

I thought having a plab jacket/pants combo was the highest priority.

Were the folks who prolly left it a leprechaun looking guy, his wife and daughter out for a hike later Saturday afternoon near the tunnel?

I believe this sort of generalization of the Irish is discrimination of the worst kind. They don't wear green and get drunk all the time. And it's always noon somewhere so what's the big deal anyway. On behalf of Irish descendants everywhere, I demand reparations paid in...Guinness.

Soak it in cider.

Seems like I read some stuff about ankle strengthening here: http://www.bodyresults.com/index.asp I had a pretty nice ankle sprain las fall and it took about 3 months before I was 100% recovered.

Rope stretch and slack can do that especially if der climber is near the end of der rope. I don't care if your "calculations" prove otherwise either.

THAT WAS ME YOU DIRTY HIPPY!!! True story - for some reason, my wife and I were invited to a fancy dinner party with special instructions "no hunting talk" as some guests might be upset. Well, I was upset about being invited then told not to do what I do best, which happens to be telling huntin stories. What to do? Put a bunch of hunting stickers all over our "nice" truck and drive it to the party. Let me tell you, there was a couple of long-hairs that looked a little grumpy when they arrived and parked their honda electric 4 door scooter next to our truck. They just got out and stared at the truck and bumper sticker, got back in their car like they must have the wrong place, got back out, looked at the truck again, then slowly made their way to the door with a glum look on their faces. I'm not sure if they were more upset about the truck or the hunting stickers but, I said nothing about hunting. The look on their faces was worth having to mind my manners the rest of the evening. Enviro-vegans!

Wazzup with the personal attack on the guys vehicle! Of the few people who have a good justification for driving a 4X4, I'd say a logger is right up there. Let's see you get 4 guys, thier lunches and equipment up 20 miles of logging road to the job in whatever "economical" POS you drive. (nice troll butt muncher) And catterd, the guys who put in logging roads generally don't take time to put in parking spots so you park wherever you can. You're having a good day when you can actually turn around and not have to back up the 20 miles to the pavement.

party pooper!

Love the new avatar Scott! How about Minx's title? I mean come on, sex industry worker, that's just insensitive.
