sounds like a dwaynerism. That's a cute picture of your mother though!

as if!

that's a personal attack if I ever saw one.

I vote for all of the above - LAYBACK!

I was just looking at this face (to the NW) from Evergreen Mountain lookout on Saturday wondering about winter routes. I've cut some nice Christmas trees near the face and always planned to check it out. I guess Steve beat me to it. Access problem my ass

My head nearly exploded reading that. You should put a disclosure in your auto sig that people with small cranial capacity may not survive reading your posts with all thier brain tissue intact.

I have some for glacier travel and just in case use only. You could probably find these on Ebay for half of that price.

I call BS on both points. Nice troll

"the banned?" "the banned Elwood!" "the banned?" "the banned! we're putting the banned back together!" Scene re-enacted from the Blues Brothers.

here's my valuable and sensitive contribution -> What the hell is a blog anyway?

alert to moderators, trask has aparantly obtained muffy's password.

I've gone weeks without looking at spray, but, on slow afternoons, (like today) I find myself sneaking a look at threads and the next thing you know, I can't get out!!! I say Jon and Tim have given a lot of their time (understatement of the year) developing this website to what it is and if they say the spray is getting carried away, that's their right and I'll stand by it. Except they banned my favorite avatar!!!

Toast: Try puttin it in the dryer on high until sufficiently cooked. That will "revive" the dwr pretty well in my experience. I've done it several times and it wont damage the material.

Looks like a much bigger radius than 6' in the photos

You mean like this thread here?

http://www.nps.gov/mora/climb/climb_cd.htm look there.

I was not a climber prior to cc.com. Trundling is acceptable. It has changed the way I look at the mountains and how much work I get done in the course of a day at the office (not that I'm complaining ). And that climbing is supposed to be fun, not suffering all the time. I also learned that if I have a good cry before my partners show up, it's less scary for them later on. Some people think it's weird to cry and hug at each belay.

kewl TR I wanna know why you guys dont take climbing so seriously. YOU COULD DIE!!!

What office are you running for?

sounds too uncomplicated. If you are wanting to burn fat, Peter, it really is that simple. Pick up an exercise bike (suggest second hand) or running shoes and heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor is critical. Try to work up to at least 3 hours per week in either running, cycling or swimming, but, you really need to have the heart rate monitor to make sure you are working hard enough yet not too hard. I have had pretty good results running in a hilly area keeping my heart rate fluctuating from 70%-90% of max. Take a look at Courtney's site too, she's probably got a program just for this purpose. Like Jon said, once you get a good base of fitness and lose superflous fat, you can build on it. But that's where I'd start. And deadlift, lots of deadlifts.

and a black leather jacket ala "da Fonze".

You have to wonder what this guy was thinking. "The second squid to wash up in recent days was a 191-lb female and was found by a man swimming. He told a Reuters photographer he had attached one of the tentacles to a float and dragged the creature toward the shore." Who's to say the Squid wasn't sleeping. I imagine a 200lb squid could cause a bad day if woken up while some yahoo was tieing it's tentacle to a float. In a battlecage with giant squid, my money's on the squid. Anyone else see the piece on 60 minutes II last night about the lady who swam 1 mile in the Antarctic Sea in a bathing suit? Hardcore!
