This thread is definitely a better read backward than forward.

Into a "sheer cliff" from what I read. The trail is closed until further notice due to the investigation (3 fatalities.) Any details beyond the usual media reporting?

So much for...... getting out of Iraq.

Actually, its this one...

No, this one...

Apology accepted. Have fun on Yak Peak.

[canned definitions] Jah is the shortened name for God YHWH, and Jehovah. Most commonly used in the Rastafari movement. Rasta is the shortened name for rastafari, a Black youth subculture and religious movement that arose in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1950s; males grow hair in long dreadlocks and wear woolen caps; use marijuana and listen to reggae music. [/canned definitions] With the 'jah' in your name I guess it was assumed you know what a rasta bivy kit is.

I know the world is not going to end in 2012 because Marty McFly time-traveled to 2015.

The Madshus Epoch is essentially the same ski as the Karhu 10th Mountain (K2 owns both brands and folded the Karhu into the Madshus). They sell online for about $300.

On the other end of the spectrum, there's this...

A Ass Pocket of Whiskey

I was referring to Ivan.

meh. sure, he'll be a thomas edison type figure for the future to revere, but i'm not certain that his contributions haven't had some drawbacks - the whole iLife, propped up by endless iGadgets, leads to a lotta self-obsessed motherfuckers i'll forgive him for the starry night ap on those goddamn phones though - that thing is fuckign cool! A living example of an inhabitant of Plato's Cave.

Not to mention the water hazard...

In his August 10th blog post, Cliff Mass wrote of the real possibility of another La Nina for the 11/12 winter.

Getting your alcohol-sodden self from the pubs and bars to whatever face-down-in-the-dirt-bagging spot you find yourself in the next morning. At least, that's what I was told.

On a glacier it's often easy to go around large, slow parties. Especially when your cruising the Easton on your snowmachine because it's not in any wilderness area.

The Tooth is not in any wilderness area. When the south face is gummed up with big parties (which is quite frequent IME), drop around the corner and do the SW Face. Fun climbing that's no harder than 5.5, with lots of room for variations. The N ridge is also a consolation if you aren't into the adventure of the SW or W face routes.
