you mean I will be able to climb more than I do right now?

IMO any pardon by any president is a disgrace. It flies in the face of the people who work for the Justice department who do the time to convict people. There are so many people who are guilty the justice department does not convict becuase they do not have the time, and just do not have enough evidence beyond a resonable doubt.

...anything is perfect...until it turns into an epic.

Maybe the dude lived in France while his parents worked there and what you saw was the result of his environment he grew up with. No biggie to him.

Dang. He gives me hope at that age.

I did it yesterday. Book is smack on correct for the standard route. Go to col. take shelf on west side, go past very large boulder, go up to notch in SE ridge. Mostly class 2. then go down an exposed class 3 crack to another shelf on the east side. follow shelf first going down, then up to NE side of mountain. then go up couloir...but was filled with snow when I did it. final section is exposed class 3 crack next to slabby summit area.

awesome photographs. thanks for sharing!

If you were on the south side of Baker I would recommend the Park Butte Lookout, or Dock Butte Lookout....but I have no idea where Snow Water is either

scrambled some peaks around McAlister mountain of Twisp. forgot to use sunscreen. Now have burnt face.

True dat!

chalk vs astroglide

Way to get in a climb before work! Excellent!

Dudes. Only in Kenya!

I will say a little prayer for you tvashtarkatena.

check pms

would you give them to a peakbagger as myself? they would definitely be used...and probably trashed within 2 years becuase of the wear and tear from where I go. If so, I will take...but cannot pick up till next week. Stefan

Okay. Thanks. I have a secret desire to see the Britney Spears museum. Thank you.

Why does someone always feel they have to say this when we've got a good weather gripe session going on? 1. Oh, hey, I guess the weather can be unpredictable and sketchy here. You have probably unlocked some deep truth here the rest of us didn't understand. And you're tougher than us. 2. No shit. 3. If you don't let weather dictate your life, you will die on a mountain in a storm. gripe all yer want. a couple of turns in the rain is better than watching golf or helping a friend move. hell, I would rather get my fingers cold and wet on rock in icicle creek than wanking on this site.

you might have to alter your plans....but you can still climb something. Any weekend called off for weather is a wasted weekend you will never get back in your life.

yessiree. couple of days. nice bed. the possibility of sex. hottubing and swimming--that's how I like Hood!

If you let weather dictate your life in this area...then you won't climb a lot.

Where is Lincoln?

Great work you two.

I am not a gun owner and not around many people who do own guns. But I do find it troubling that I do not see the NRA taking a more active role in educating about gun handling. Maybe it is about marketing.... I bet if I saw more of the NRA doing education about guns then other people might not be so "against them". Kinda like Budweiser putting out commercials on responsible drinking so there is less potential drunk drivers.

great!
