the north face still stocks west wind flys? Impressive. I'd just pay the bucks, its one of the best double wall mountain tents there is. My 2 cents.

shells! Try 'em, you'll like em. And sweating out in shell pants will become a distant memory...

that's queer, I think she's got a nice face. can't comprehend the thumbs down...

Cracked, are you gay?

super star. This tennis champ could make a snaffle dig a den in the clay courts at wimbleton...

Thinking on buying a new down bag and am considering the Feathered Friends Winter Wren or Rock Wren. Does anyone use one? How do you like it? Easy to walk around camp in? I've had a bag like this before and lost it ten years ago, looking to replace it and wondered how the FF version was, how good the hood, armholes, footbox room, etc. (This is a center zip sleeping bag with foot opening and armholes.)

Going to go in to Glacier Peak next weekend, bringing skis. Going in from Lake Wenatchee. hope to leave thursday night to wake up at Trailhead friday morning. Easy climb but a good distance in. PM me if interested.

Hi, Holly- thanks for the Yos movie. The site is still plenty rude, don't worry! Hope you're having a great summer, how's the new job working out?

I'm not just about climbing and didn't place it.

I think that should have been a Sam Adams, Mike! I'm gonna start asking if anyone has seen any snaffles...

That was a great way to spend the Fourth of July! It wasn't too windy at the summit, but skiing off the top was a bit choppy. Great snow overall, and a 5,500 foot run. Great weather and one heck of a good time, back to town in time to catch the fireworks!

That's not too long of a shuttle, you should be able to bribe a friend for twenty bucks and a six pack.

if a gun is good, a frag grenade must be better. Frag the Any one that hikes with a gun because they're afraid of cougars or Washington bears is a scaredypants. Cougars' gonna sneak up behind you anyway. Might as well bring shark repellant

And Sharapova WINS! in two sets...

this movie was an excellent horror film using methods evocotive of other films. There were scenes echoing Liquid Sky, the Blair Witch Project, Night of the Living Dead, and others. An exemplary piece of horror cinema, and quite preverse in its use of clowns.

huh? You need to read more mountain lit. recommending hobnails isn't really practical. For not steep ice, you could try creepers, or instep crampons. There are little shoe rubbers with golf spikes built in that would fold up pretty small. I think your best option would be aluminum crampons.

Granola, HC and clif bars for me on the fourth. But, stone fruits are pretty damn good right now...

Canada is the home of Elsinore Brewery, how about a round of beerhunter, eh?

try thick wool socks! used to be done that way...

free for everyone! Lower GDP doesn't equate to lower quality of living necessarily. Less money to buy less walmart crapola, maybe. The economist is a good magazine

I watched a Forest Service presentation about all the storm damage from last fall. Sauk trail looked like it was passable with an agreeable amount of bushwacking. Think they said as much as well. Check the USFS website for some info about the trail washouts. There's more than one way to White pass, you know!

yep. both suiattle river and kennedy hot springs approaches are no go's....going in a different way.

Not yet, going to go sometime between July 15-18 if you want to go.

Ham and sausage pizza, anyone?

"sneaking" cases of tequila and kaluha (sp) up from mexico to supply a lodge in Nevada I worked at in the eighties, boss had us buy stupid hats, when asked at the border if we had anything to declare, "Nothing but these funny hats." Worked every time!
