Sweet! I bet the casing to a ball point pen would work too if you made the incision with a sharp knife kinda like a field tricheometry procedure (like on M*A*S*H) and then you don't have to carry the extra weight of the spinal needle. Don't forget your ductape to hold the tube in place!

I have the same sitmo myself, where I don't get hungry all day when rock climbing. Still pretty new at it though so I have a fair amount of adreneline running through my system which is a great appetite suppressor. there's my $.02 You should still eat something during the day to keep your body fueled up.

We intended to climb that route last weekend, but, because of the cornices you see at the top and a small point release slide seen while we were debating how stable the cornice looked, we opted for the NE Couloir. The conditions were great in the NE Couloir if that's any indication, good secure step kickin. I did hear from a friend this morning that there was a bunch of new snow at Colchuck lake this week. Not sure how much though.

or send an email to Erik. I hear he's interested in a price.

that's not nice, just because he likes to wear pink spandex singlet's for sport climbing in, we shouldn't bad mouth him. I heard he got turned down for American Idol too, seriously man!

according to Erik's description it is a hybrid of a BD nut tool and a Petzly expedition ascender or whatever the sitmo may call for. he's sketchy tho. sitmo may be my new word to annoy the wife with, thanks Erik! "what we really need in this sitmo is a schnizly plabersom tibloc to haul us out of the pow pow"

This is great! me and Ursa could take care of the traffic problem once and for all- Ban SUVs, Cel Phone talkers, Teenagers, obviously Old people and Drunks wouldn't be tolerated, and anyone else who may annoy/irritate us or infact do anything different than we see fit, we are the only people that matter. DIE DIE DIE!

And teenagers must some of the ablsolute worst of the entire bunch of bad and unsafe drivers! The only time I was in a wreck (that I didn't cause) a kid speeding along to school in a CHEVY s-10 Blazer (SUV) slammed into the back of my poor old pickup truck doing 45 miles an hour while I was sitting at a red light!!

you got that shit right

Not really, I like mattp and think he's doing a fabulous job moderating that thread. The rest of you guys need to do some work, study, whatever it is trask does, and stop whinning! Do you think the outcome of the "Rainier Investegation" is somehow more important to you than Gator, Oldman, Dan, the (imaginary) witnesses and the rest of the folks involved? I agree with matt - chill out! and spare me the constitutional crap, it's the internet for Christ's sake!

How bout all of these MOFO's talking on their cel phones while almost running you down in the crosswalk? I hate those guys! They need to take lessons from a hairstylist or someone who can talk and perform eye-hand coordination tasks at the same time.

ping ping ping! clip, yank yank ahhhh....

great, now we don't have to listen to you whining because getting your fancy name thingy was taking so long - "hezus crist, I overnighted the money to them 2 days ago" that is wack, yellow. didja find your beanie?

is this the "super munter" or "double munter"?

Right on Spanker!

Bug: I understand the only way to get real HGH is through a perscription from your doctor. There's a lot of stuff out there claiming to be "HGH" that only contains trace amounts.

Good job getting out of sketchdom (I hate that place!) I'm looking forward to the day when I have enough experience to avoid making mistakes and can predict the future like ERIK! If we didn't push ourselves to climb in the first place, we'd never get off the couch, push your limits and pound your pins if the local guide book says it's ok!

John: I wore trail runners all the way from the truck to Colchuck lake on a very hard crust in the early AM. The trail is well packed and was still firm in the afternoon on the descent so no need for snowshoes. You can drive to within about 1 mile of the trail head as of Saturday. Just snow in the Couloir. There was a river of Spindrift that running down the right side of the Couloir that might have scoured snow down to ice in some places. Have fun!

Check out the N. Norwegian Buttress on Mt. Index.

doh!

no, Muffy that would be appropriate cause it's TRUE!

I avoid pain.
