he's doin' the snow dance! you go, big furry white thing!!!

i was there on thursday. i don't think there's much danger of avalanches if you're talking about stuff falling off of the mountain onto the cones already at the base. it was warm, though, so even though it was raining outside it was much wetter inside the caves. i didn't spend much time inside them - they're pretty freaky, not to mention wet, ... and the ice in there seemed pretty brittle. if it stays above freezing i definitely wouldn't go spelunking around in there if you know what i mean. the danger of caves collapsing is not worth that risk! if you just want to tool around, though, there are some vertical walls that extend beyond the roof of the big cave on the rightmost debris cone (as you're looking at big four). you can traverse around on those walls to your heart's content. they're textured, too, (with big vertical suncup-like features) so you can make it as hard or easy as you like. park at the picnic area 'cause the trailhead lot is closed. and have fun - the ice on those walls was damned near perfect when i was there.

might see you up there. if so, i'll be sans leashes, too. ps - you don't have to be a euro-freak to go leashless ... just a freak perhaps.

so, did you win? sounds awesome anyway. nothing like "high" wind sailing to get your heart beating. let me know if you ever need crew!!!

stupid filtered internet. i'm not allowed to visit that link. it'll have to wait until i'm back at work ... that or i'm REALLY not cool! [ 11-14-2002, 05:00 PM: Message edited by: thelawgoddess ]

(and sk, i did have fun!)

wouldn't y'all like to know! today i'm just going to do some weird things on ice ... ciao, y'all!

i think the word "sandbag" comes from theatre. don't quote me on that, though. not sure how it came to get its current meaning ...

i nominate dr. jay's place for all ensuing pub clubs.

Kudos to you, hon. you don't get ahead in life by only helping the people you like. and besides, my screenname is silly.

rei used to have them.

hey, can i watch?
