I disagree. Napalm all the landing zones too.

There's a ton of boulders near north pillar of mt si. Have it up. Rattlesnake Lake\Ledge area has been a bouldering spot for some time. It's real fun if you live nearby and can shoot over there run up the trail and create a bouldering circuit for training.

yeah but if your name is lambone it's spray fodder.

Miss the funny jokes. I was unable to post on the other thread. I raise double fisted guiness stouts to ya. -RB

after reading this thread I can only assume that muff paris hilton and 3 chimps shagged for a movie. Where's the goods.

Note: I took over 270 shots with several movies using my camera recently. I had to buy another card to make the last 80 shots and movies this time. It's pretty rare but I was on the road for 14 days with museums churches pyramids climbing bars and just plain humor sometimes... I always use maximum quality or highest resolution on all shots. In retrospect I recommend starting with a 256 mb card if you shoot a lot and take short movies like I do. Otherwise something smaller in memory could work. I often spend extended periods of time away from areas where you can buy batteries. This is where I take short movies that burns the batteries.. I have rechargables too.. Hence the reason I make my certain recommendations that may or may not apply to all.

I think both those cameras are fine. Enjoy whatever you get. Dont forget to use the movie options if you have them. They are cool.

sounds like a lot of fun :-)

I dont really care but- It seems more folks are ready to attack Shrubya without a reply to put forth their support to someone else. I'm all for it. Whine all you want but make a statement for your candidates I say. Otherwise you might as well join them in their spineless approach to politics. Oh and BTW canadians get zero fucking vote here so just keep the whining up cuz nobody gives a fuck what you think. For those thin skinned in CAN I do not say sorry just the truth.

My thoughts and ramblings. If 2lbs or less between some of these bags means the trip is lost one way or the other - too cold or - too heavy... Give up and try something else. Just kidding. My techniques- I am usually cutting corners with ropes, rack, stove and fuel, crampons, ice tools, helmet (usually not bringing it), pack weight, rock shoes, boots, clothing etc. I prefer to sleep warm. I can travel cold well..

Yeah that psycho catnip eating feline that Mattp has is one to be reckoned with in the wrong situation. He hasn't mucked with me much but has a 'tude you wouldn't believe for such a small creature. Best defense is no offense or just outright being loud I think.

I can think of several summits without trying too hard that one could benefit by using these type of crampons in the proper setting. Mt Si in winter Sahale in summer Eldorado in summer Snowking in the late summer Colchuck in summer Or just about any trivial short or low angled snow approach that could be icy or not much real snow travel at the right time.

First of all I never said dont get 4mp. If you had seen any of my photos printed off my 50 dollah printer then you might have an inkling why.

Those crampons should do the trick for your use. I understand exactly what you are saying about the snow gets smashed into ice quickly on those trails. But the problems I have found with those crampons is that they are way too fuck with every now and then until you master them type of crampons. I just get sick of dealing with gear that complicated. think aluminum stubais are a way better buy... And there are more brands than that even...

Or maybe they want him to pull some dirty deeds under the table

I never knew that Dwayner did any insulting or anything more rude than the dozen or dozens of others here... It's pretty obvious there's a grudge match.

peter pusset, Those factors are related sometimes to the media you buy, battery life as well as the camera make model and design. Most everyone is aware of this who has used 4 or 5 digi cameras or so and it sucks. It's not groundbreaking news and it's not just your Canon. The best solution to capturing an action shot with a digi camera is to hold the shutter button down to half way until the "right moment" then all the way for the shot.

Those olympus' shoot fine. If I was going to recommend a point and shoot here are a couple of tips- Batteries are drained in every digital camera I have used. So find one that takes double A's as well as the recommended lithium battery. It will be better when away from civilazations like a larger city and you have to replace batteries. 3 megapixel is good enough to make great 8.5x11 inch shots. Get one that creates movies including the sound. If you can get one that does have some assisted shooting features such as landscape, evening, and macro settings do it. They do make a difference.

That thing was plastered with snow last weekend. SHould be good enough for a scouting. If you really want to climb it anyway....

Fuck you too alex

Sucks to break a leg and find out that indeed the mountain had been climbed already.

Fuck the moderators here. Offloser, Lameshit and Erik were\are the worst.
