Most of poorest countries in Africa has complete freedom from any government laws.

This is the quote that interested me: "Entrance to Yellowstone should cost a family more than a night at the movies." He is making a comparison between private versus public. They are not to be compared. The park service budget could be higher...but then the defense department budget would have to to be lower...we make choices as a national community.

I will pipe in a bit. I am a certified peakbagger. It is totally about the different areas and the different approaches and the diffferent experiences. I do a lot in one trip becuase I too work and have the family thing...so it is important I try to put in as many experiences as possible into one trip. For example, restaurants. I try the best I can to NOT repeat a restaurant I have eaten at. There are so many out there, I would like to experience what each restaurant offers. Now some of you might want to go back to the same restaurant and try something new on the menu, that does not interest me...becuase I want to see the next one....I also do not take non climbing vacations to the same place. There are so many places on this earth, and I want to experience as many as I possibly can with the one life I have.

Do you remember when you were 10 or 19...or 30. Did you want to be told, "You are doing too much X so stop it."?

as usual...sweet!!!

wow. thanks for the dream.

ummmm. Wow!!!!

i like the style. good writing.

awesome! thanks for sharing!

fricken awesome. inspiring!

in the end...it will be a mix of private and public insurancing people will get serviced...but at what level of service? I hear people in the UK don't like their health system very much, but in no way in hell do they want to go the way of the US. I know somebody in the healthcare field. She works 3 days out of 14. She is a semi-doctor and makes $80K a year...comes to about $128 an hour. She has big time loans. I wonder what would happen to that person with a change in the system....less pay? Many doctors are motivated by their own profit too. And why does the schooling of these people cost so much?

thanks for the porn!

It's okay to get spanked. Happens to all of us!

great going! we tried to look at you from below at the lake...but we never saw your tracks up to your bivy col.

that is sweet. thanks for sharing!

great to see Dallas still getting out!

That's right. The couloir is SE of Spickard and just north and west of peak 7895 (Tombstone). It is not wickedly steep....just kinda remote. It is glaciated...per the map. Just trying to find out who has done this thing and what kind of approach conditions they experienced. You know?

Just curious. I was out climbing Devils Tongue this past weekend and I saw this coulouir to the north of Tombstone. Probably has some good skiing on the direct opposite side into Perry creek too. Who has skied this one? It is at the headwaters of Silver Creek.

no trees, no oil, no food supplies. The real cause is human population growth.

awesome. great going.

dang. those are some sweet pics. you did good.

also the trad versus sport semi divide old versus new I wish I had a snowmobile...would save a lot of time in winter on those logging roads.
