I want to know how to jump start a fire using hand sanitizer gel.

Spent three nights sleeping amongst the boulders below the Apron back in the late 90's. We walked from the Curry parking lot after dark with only bags and water bottles and were back to the car by early dawn. Surreptitious and clandestine is the key.

First ascent potential on the global warming horizon.

From reading his posts on rec.climbing, I got the impression that he liked his cracks wide.

Going out via the ski area (Great Scott Traverse), you can opt to follow the gentle ridge top over and tag Denny on your way out.

What is the date code on the center strap of the Bionics? I'm looking for 1360, 2235 or 2250.

This dude's tattoos are pretty entertaining.

shaoleung, Your sig seems at odds with your post. Just sayin' (I hope you get your Trango nut back.)

Tattoo this!

+1 I stuck a #1 TCU straight up into a shallow pocket under a roof on the lower part of Narrow Arrow Direct, clipped a pair of aiders into it, stepped gently into said aiders and watched the #1 TCU pivot back and forth. I fully expected it to rock right on out of there, but instead I moved on up and finished the pitch.

This time of year, I would expect that route to be pretty snowy and slow and not rock-shoe friendly. My comment was for future reference. That said, if you have the skill, forethought and some fortitude, it is less hassle than rapping through the crowds, even in May.

The north ridge descent is a faster, easier, and lonelier way to descend when the south route is as impacted as you decribe. The way around back to Pineapple Pass is very straightforward.

Because Prole has proven himself, time and again, to be both.

I was reading through the synopsis list of SIFF films and found an entry entitled North Face which at first would seem to be a film about a yuppy urban wear company, but in actuality is a film based on the 1936 Hinterstoisser/Kurz/Angerer/Rainer attempt on the Eiger Nordwand. Venues are Cinerama and Admiral theaters.

I got what I expected; sincere posts from the adults and potty humor from the tykes. I merely noted that Prole is a fag.

BTW, an insincere thanks goes to you, Prole, for gracing this thread with what I can only imagine is the number one choice from your private collection. I assumed the moniker "Prole" was a reference to a member of the working class , but I now see that it as an abbreviation of "parole", which explains your choice of eye candy.

I was dreading this project because of past experiences with lame contractors, some of whom I've worked for and felt bad about the way they treated their clients. The funny thing Mark is that when we sat down and talked, Myron was pretty up front about not liking the painting part of the job. Like you say, other contractors hemmed and hawed when I let it be known that I was interested in doing finish work myself to save money. They stated that they didn't want their name on an unfinished product. Myron had no problem with this to the point that the office space is currently paint-ready drywall with a bare concrete floor. Myron is a good guy who will do what it takes to get you what you want. The two references I met with, and viewed Myron's work before I signed a contract with him, said just that and the work he did on their houses was impressive. Times are tough and guys like Myron deserve to get the work that's out there. Post script... Something I forgot to mention is that Myron works on only one job at a time, with some minor overlap at the beginning and end of the current job. The current job is the priority.

The remodel included a 10x12 extension of a dining area, a 10x20 office and a doubling in size of an existing bedroom to make a new master bedroom over the office and existing family room with a master bath that extends out over the garage. There were also many other small additions to the existing structure. Pictures are here.

A fairly extensive remodeling project was just completed on my house and the general contractor did such a good job that I want to get his name out to as many people as possible. His name is Myron and his company is called M.O. Construction. His bid came in about mid-range in the various prices that came out of the bidding process. His time projection was spot on, which wasn't a surprise considering that he began work early October and worked steadily through the winter to finish up within the timeframe he projected. He and his apprentice were here promptly at 8:00 am every work day, with the exception of the really heavy snow days when they couldn't get from Ballard to Brier, and including multiple days when the temperature was in the 18-22 degree F range and days when it was raining steadily. Myron spoke with me about all phases of the project along the way on a daily basis. At the end, there was no punch list because he knew about, and took care of everything before declaring the work completed. He did a lot of little things gratis, including fixing a rafter tip that had been snapped by roofers 10 years ago who stood on it and then refused to fix it when I asked them to. Besides being the epitome of a good tradesman, Myron is a truly nice guy. If you, or anyone you know, needs some work done on your house, you would not regret hiring Myron.

I like the sound of thinly-veiled despair as the camera pans toward the top (with the upper half still to go) at the end of that clip.
