I've done a bit of soloing, sometimes getting myself in situations that I now feel fortunate to have come out of alive. I doubt I did this because someone advocated soloing, but regardless, I'd never advocate something so inherently dangerous. I think I'd be a bit horrified if someone died due to my "advice". You know what? I give advice to people who I know are going out with other people. Giving advice to someone who is soloing or going out with other people is NO DIFFFERENCE. Advocating soloing is just as dangerous as advocating to go out and climb Liberty Bell with the Mountaineers. Climbing is dangerous no matter what you do. Even the standard route on Rainier with a guide. Either solo or with a group. I bet each and every one of you has given advice to someone. Fuck. While we're on it. My aunt gives advice to her daughter for raising her two grandchildren. And guess what? The daughter is raising the two grandchildren SOLO. I Guess that's irresponsible!!!!!!!!!

Can you direct me to the thread in question Terminal Gravity? I thought this was the internet. Everything on this damned computer thingy should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hey Dwayner, were those dudes French? The French are typically assholes when it comes to climbing. Assholes to us that is, however they have different attitudes when it comes to climbing. P.S. Do you keep in contact with Mr. Mercer? [ 09-23-2002, 03:38 PM: Message edited by: Stefan ]

I do chat. I like it. Whatever to keep it running gets my thumbs up.

vegetablebelay check pm!

Where is point 7002 geographically?

Just out of curiosity. When will the next pub club meeting take place in Tacoma? Anyone? Anyone? I might attend my first one....

Dwayner.....I bet I know what you were doing last night 9/16 between 9:00p.m. and 10:00p.m. What did you think of that? Was it a hoax for public hype?

There are some east facing walls near the headwaters of the Sultan River that have never been touched. But I bet the rock is crap. I know the approach is crap.

I was impressed by the east face of Golden Horn (about 900 feet). I have no idea if anybody has climbed it.

I did it last year at this time. No ice axe needed. I took running shoes the whole way. I did in one day with my partner. Car to car. [ 09-13-2002, 09:13 AM: Message edited by: Stefan ]

Sure we have the richest poor in the world. I have seen it. I was just trying to show that a community anywhere in the world will have poor/rich/middle class regardless of how hard people work or how much education they have. Most people are not poor by their own choice no matter where you live in the world. Most people haven't had the opportunities or don't have access to monetary capital. I believe most people want to work hard. Only a few people are truly lazy......

There are poor people in the San Francisco area. Read the newspaper. They even have college degreees. They were in the "internet" era and I bet they were worked their asses off.

Hey Mike, I never see horses either in MRNP. In fact I have NEVER seen horses or horse trailers. It is just a rule that doesn't make sense to me. I remember seeing this guy wanting to take his dog with him in the middle of January at Paradise--he was going cross country skiing. Snow was at about 8 or 9 feet deep. A ranger came to him and said his dog couldn't leave his car. The guy even had a leash on his dog. Was the dog going to scare off wildlife??? I don't think so.... I will send something to the superintendant. Maybe if I get my lazy ass off of cc.com......
