I think that on a lower angle glacier climb it is fine, Pro Mountian Sports sells some of these ropes for that reason. They were 30 meters and 8.9 I think for around $85. I have used ropes like these, and it seems like a 60 meter rope gets to be a pain. I even pulled a guy out of a crevasse a few years back with one. TTT

Another option in the winter is a snow cave..

This might surpass Muir on Saturday if you count all the seperate posts!

Agreed that last night was fun, and as the auditor there we were able to leave the place with the bill paid and a tip too. It was tough with all the help we had there, and of course all the beer that was drunk.

Allison,Another option is you can go to the main page on this website, click on the [Links] (far right) on top of the page. Then scroll down to Weather Avalanche & Pass Reports for the links. Bill [ 02-17-2002: Message edited by: To The Top ]

Plain Wa, Trask says, but Chumstick da hit if you have a Trailer and a broken down Camaro partially covered with a tattered old blue tarp, cheaper than Plain and only 6 miles uproad. Next move is Leavenworth, because they have Gustav's. TTT

I like fridays as much as tuesdays, both can work for me unless I am leaving for the weekend somewhere.....TTT

A guest might be a known poster checking out the site from a different computer, ie a work computer verses a home (aka the first signed on computer). Once the poster signs on from the second computer he/she can put in the password for the original name and post a response, or lurk. I have seen myself on as guest at work, but my name when signing on at home, shows my original name. This is all good unless you have several avatars, of course. TTT

Fairweather, "Know thy enemy or risk being overrun by them" quote from Sun Tsu (is it 4:20 yet?). Dude get a grip. TTT

OK Ray, I just noticed that whos online and I saw Rayborbon and CptCaveman, even looking at different parts of CC.com-who is who?. Are you trying to bait us to run the gaunlet of the Issaquah cops? I'll be there.TTT [ 01-30-2002: Message edited by: To The Top ]

I have used it on 2 day climbs too, recommend getting the large. Da*n! $60.

Doh!!! go ahead now!

Jerry, You promised no avatars!

I first met AlpineK at the Muir hut on saturday.

Depends on where you live, and when you are going there. If you live in Seattle I-90 is the way to go via Salmon La Sac, barring any problems on the road after leaving Cle Elum.

After a friend and I got back from the tooth we found 2 beers just barely sticking out of the snow at alpental parking lot, just melting out of the snow bank. MMMM

I have thought of making a trip to the state north of Washington too. With all this border security (read needlessly long lines) which border crossing is best? Also, someone told me you need a passport in some cases, they don't accept WA drivers lic. (probably just a rumor). Any post 9-11 recommendations? TTT

Bear bells,I use them in Glacier NP and the Tetons..had an Uncle mauled by a Griz in GNP. I just see Blacks in WA, not a problem, except at night, and hang stuff with a counter weight up in a tree with a rap sling and cordlette. [ 01-16-2002: Message edited by: To The Top ]

Mattp is cool because he has good beta and NEVER sprays, and he is always interested what others have to say, even if it from a different perspective than his. He shows up to the Pub Clubs and always is engaging in conversation on all levels. Go Matt. Bill

Rumplemintz Peppermint Schapps. 100 proof and warms you right up!

From Bronco's quote:"Walked up Alaskan from the Ferry Terminal to Pike Place Market on Saturday afternoon. Never in my short life have I seen so much North Face apparel and hiking boots. I thought it was a climbers convention or sumthin'. I don't hang out in cities unless required to, so I was somewhat surprised. Pretty good chowder at Ivars though." I went to the Mallory exhibit and they said the average worker in Downtown Seattle was dressed better than those on expeditions of Mallory's time.
