the link doesn't work. :-(

i'm not saying they're beautiful, but i saw one in my neighborhood that was totally pimped out and it looked pretty cool. but it was the sound of that hemi that really got my attention.

you might check with climbing club libraries if you just want to look and maybe make some copies.

"Rangers discovered the men's bodies about 100 yards apart on the Paradise Glacier just east of the Muir Snowfield and about 200 yards from one of the most popular climbing trails in the park."

vroom. vroom.

thanks for the tr - better late than never. i suffer from the same height challenge you do ... sometimes it pays off, though.

i'm snickering in the background on this one.

personally, i'd rather eat v8 than cat feces.

thanks. i know someone who will appreciate this!

i wonder if that's why they stock v8 in the fridge here at work.

will be coming from boise.

i have the wild things epic unhooded version and absolutely love it. i never go climbing without it. it has stood up to much abuse in cracks and packs fairly small. very simple and does the job.

robin hood would steal a nice rack of new cams from some porsche-driving climber and give them all to some dirtbag climber who can't afford to buy his own gear because he doesn't want to get a real job. jesus would preach about sharing with your neighbors and tell you that a cam means nothing and you should be happy that you didn't lose your life. or maybe that's a buddhist monk. i get all those religions confused sometimes. any normal person would take the cam and revel in the find. how does that song go? finders-keepers; losers-weepers?

how 'bout a big plate of spaghetti?

<---seattle times link---> ... now that's news!

at his slideshow gator was saying how most people are lost between muir and partway up from paradise. that made it kind of haunting when i heard the report on the news last night. sadness.

i do agree that you should not climb a route that you do not think you're ready for, but "slow" is relative. most people don't plan to go any slower than they normally climb - which to other people might seem slow no matter what (and those people should full well know that not everybody climbs as fast as they do and plan accordingly). shit happens.

is wearing climbing shoes considered aid for a nude ascent?

decided to become a sport climber? (j/k.) wow!

well put!

glad you found someone! you're leaving the nw for good? where you going???

i wanted to add that i ordered from them because i found a link to their site where i could save 25% off of their sale prices, so even after shipping it was still cheaper than buying the item from a place offering free shipping. for anybody interested, that link is: www.ebags.com/friends/cshreffler ... just be prepared for your new subscription to tv guide.
