ouch. i think you could rent a car for cheaper than what that's gonna cost you round-trip ...

watch out for the wirly-man!

nowhere must be a wonderful place to be.

all windows open. nearly naked. (in case my landlords walk by! ) fan on full blast ...

"creepers" - what a funny name for crampons!

it's so freakin' hot i am having a hard time sleeping at night. i don't ever remember a summer this bad!

well put, arch.

YUM!!! i'm doing my next climb with dr. crash!

i told y'all this weather sucks.

i'm probably still older than you, though.

climbers are flaky. deal with it.

hey, how come it's always snugtop's birthday?

hmm ... i'm jealous. take me, take me! last year i could see the planes from my office. this year i can't even hear them.

naw, i just don't like clowns. i call it mickie-dee's - no reference to clowns as far as i'm concerned. i can't stay away from that place for long no matter how hard i try!

the clown's place?

i'm sure i've seen worse. is it friday yet?

sounds like fun! here are some thoughts: 1) hiking boots with gaiters are fine! if the boots are not low cut you probably won't even need gaiters. i see people do it in lesser shoes pretty often ... 2) crampons are not generally needed up to muir. i don't think i've ever worn them and can't really remember seeing anybody else either. 3) no self-arrest should be needed up to muir if you stay on the main trail. it's not that steep. if you fell and slipped you'd eventually stop. some people slide (glissade) on purpose. you can find "steeper" sections if you want to practice self-arrest, though. 4) the biggest risk will be navigation in a whiteout. plan accordingly. also drink lots of water to avoid dehydration, and bring warm clothing and sleeping bags. (it can be a hot 90 degrees at paradise and chilly and blowing 50 mph winds at camp muir.) have a great time!!!

yeah ... we otter, we otter!

sadly, i wouldn't have gotten any more done than i actually did. this board is filler ...

Every time I read this it cracks me up! High humor from a cock.
