Nice Captin, you be gettin' some!!! Hey, save me the trouble of looking it up and tell me where it is??? Just the general vicinity will do. Just curious... I figure that its not in the Enchantments!

Nice try, but we all know you are fat. Went to E-38 for a day of clippin'. Checked out the Far Side to get away from the crowds. What an interesting pile of choss... Some asshole backed into our car at the parking lot and drove away. Now my friend has a huge dent in her door. Why is it that assholes like that seem to frequent Exit-38? I know I can be an asshole, but at least I admit to my mistakes. If you know who did it please rat them out! [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-27-2001).]

Two words: TOO HEAVY. Thats why your friend is selling it in the first place. Twice as heavy when the whole thing fills with condensation and getts soaked. Unless you need a cheap basecamp tent, save your money for a Bibler, or Integral Designs. my .02$

Damn, got to work again Someday i'll catch you guys/ and girls

Yeah, I think that sounds like a good way to do it. We left bivi gear at Ingalls Lake, but were too hammered to reach it after the climb. My pack is warmer than I thought it would be! Nice job Steven.

Nice report Dwayner. Not that it matters, but I saw Big Lou at Vertical World last week. He was doing a talk for some corporate group, and I got to shake his hand He is definately a big guy...

dude, I thought you were leaving a week ago, oh well, have a blast! Don't lose you gas money in the casinos!

David, I'm lookin at my photos from Forbidden a couple of weeks ago. The standard N. Face was continuous snow thats split by some large crevasses. You are right, the couloir to the left is obscured by the large rock buttress in between. From what I can tell it looks pretty dry. I'm jealous, have fun!

OK Matt, Relax, I wasn't trying to offend you here. I am well aware that you are a competent climber. As I said, I was just curious what you considered to be unnecessary, and what you were planing to leave behind. Thats all. Sorry if I ruffeled your feathers. Lord knows that I am the master of slow and heavy techniques. Anyway, have fun! Let me know how it goes! [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-23-2001).]

I would argue that if you are not skilled in using the equipment, than it is not worth carrying, be it a picket or first aid kit. With a two man team, it seems you are pushing the saftey envelope. If a bridge colapsess and one member goes in, he better be ready to climb back out. If they can't climb out, then their partner is faced with a serious challange. This challanging rescue would be mission impossible without any means of building an anchor, etc... I'd be very reluctant to bring 0 rescue gear,instead I'd try to carry the lightest stuff possible-Ti-blocks instead of mechanical ascenders, etc.

Hmmm...wow! Well, its good to be loved I guess

Matt, With all due respect... Just curious, do you consider rescue gear as useless equipment? I wouldn't feel comfortable about leaving that stuff behind on a glacier route. You probably won't use it, but what if??? Would you just rely on other climbers to help you out? Your bro, matt [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-23-2001).]

John, Sounds like the Park Services mistake, not yours. You didn't call for a rescue did you? I'd apologize politley, then get in the car and leave. I wouldn't feel obligated to explain anything to them. It's not your fault that you had to bivi, blame it on the mountain!

Would you give it a B2 0r B3? So I should bring my extra long "draws" huh!?!? What about glue, do you think some of them trees need to be reinforced?

Its hard to deny such a short approach. Looks like you could toss a rock from your car to the base. What can I say, I'm a fan of Alpine cragging, it must be the sport climber in my blood!

Yeah, we heard a monster rip through there while heading up to Forbidden in the late afternoon. Sounded like an earthquake! Remember Phil? You was there too... So both you guys say that you wouldn't do the NE But. again, but was it worth doing once? Would it be a good first "vertical bushwack" route, or should I warm up on something like Mt. Index first?

It's all in the name Aidan. Its attrackted evil spray all my life. You ever see the W.B. cartoon "Lambert the Sheepish Lion?" Oh, and some people think its cool to pick on Gym climbers... I guess we make easy targets. But I never spent so much time in the Gym untill I moved to Seattle, rain sucks. Peace Dawg! Vesper looks fun huh!?!? I wish I was going with you...

Very impressive fellas! It looks like a wild route from the Boston Basin. Would it be fun to head up the Cascade-Johannesburg couloir to the col. and then up the east ridge? Or is it not worth risking the objective danger?

One that will drive home for you! (The Nightrider)

"Dude, I'm beat." "Here try some of my honey and butter." "OK" [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 08-21-2001).]

Don't be fooled, we are meerly priming you for your visit to the land of the evil spray loards...you will join the dark side! Have fun on your trip!

Carolyn, One more thing... I am just curious what you are planning on gettin' on out here??? Rainer, somethin' in the North Cascades, glaciers, rock...??? Again, just curious.
