my bf has that book. i guess it's on that list of 100 best adventure books or something ... and it's about flying. pretty good read. i recently read "one flew over the cuckoos nest" and "to kill a mockingbird" - trying to catch up on some of the classics most americans read in high school. started "electric kool aid acid test" but haven't gotten very far as i don't find it a very compelling read. the book i'm supposed to be reading is "risk financing" ... yuck!

for future reference lowe alpine makes a pack like the genie. pms used to carry them but i haven't been in there lately so don't know if still do.

thanks! hopefully i can find it next time.

drivers around here freak out every time the weather changes - doesn't matter if it's from rain to sun or sun to rain. i don't get it. loving this cool weather for a change, though.

oops!!!

i don't have time. i really need something to wake me up, though. i've got 5 hours of opera to sit through tonight!

btw, from what i've heard usaa seems to be a relatively good ins co.

anybody got a pic? i'm curious!

i don't think they claim to offer a totally comprehensive report. they say on their site "While we'll never know everything about a particular car," and they have a link on their "about" page that lists some of their sources - auto auctions and some state's police departments and whatnot.

dude. wtf? this thread is like 4 years old!!!

i'm bored. this thread didn't help.

crazy carpets???

took several gu (and a powershot gel) up rainier recently and none of them exploded.

northwest? snoqualmie falls avalanche

sweet, murray - what a gripping tale! glad you were able to eventually continue your voyage.

i use my la sportiva mythos. they rock. some people prefer more support, but i prefer the feel and i've worn them quite comfortably all day.

no fault sucks, eh?

hanging belays ... ugh.

wtf is that white stuff?

funky!

you're kidding, right?

use whatever works. i've never carried one, and i think the only time my partner had one was when we were on a big wall. axes usually work fine; especially if you have a more technical axe with a hammer. if you really want a hammer and can't find a climbing-specific hammer you can afford, the hardware store should definitely have some cheaper viable options.

i would hope people wouldn't take it that way. love yourself first. that doesn't mean you don't love others ...

no; typically the flakes flake before getting a chance to be considered a climbing partner.

oh yes. if you think the crevasse was fun, wait until you get on your first waterfall!
