That was an amazing ascent for an old man and a sexually deviant midgett with a negative ape index. Seriously though, nice job again guys I was thoroughly impressed! We were pysched on our climb too. It was longer, but probably not technically as difficult and a much less involved descent. I'll probably post a TR and some pics when I get a chance. Glad to hear you made it safely back to B'Ham in the state you were in. Eric was worked as hell too as he started driving east on 20 for 10 miles before he realized he was supposed to be going to Seattle not the Methow

That way they got political capital no matter who wins. Kind of like a hedge fund, I suppose.

I never had a menage a trois (sp?), but I know I'd like it.

that is not exactly what I said there Special Well make it up. With details. Iian:

Sounds like youre trying to outfit a cold war-era Russian mountaineering team.

Then you just spent $600 instead of $500. That don't make no sense. Like you're gunna go once and say "this shits lame," I'm going back to the gym. If you're really just curious, borrow gear for a day or two.

Apparently you did more than kiss.

.... not so much as far as women go Details please.

Nice to have that Layton Kor reach sometimes, huh Patrick? Yeah man, I always get stuck leading that stupid rotten block pitch too. I've found if you climb behind it its not too bad to free using some "redneck aid," even though its super akward and involves some squeeze chimney thrutching.

I figured all the forest service rigs in Colorado would be Subaru Outbacks. Just to fit in with the locals, you know.

Lefties make better lovers

Whatever!! Larry totally needs sattelite internet, night vision ifrared goggles, sound and voice recording equipment, and a 12 guage assault shotgun with fixed bayonet to bust climbers for loitering in the parking lot without a permit.

Nolse, I believe, is the one prone to wearing such attire.

Was it the fact that he only wore the bandana to bed, or was it the buckskin vest that did it for you?

Give it a rest. Retro 80's theme was already played out by the end of the 90's.

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT RAP BOLTED SLAB ROUTES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Why don't you be good Americans and do some work. And quit with the multiple jumping snowmen, its way fucking annoying.

Hand drill only, on lead. Just like the Stonemasters.

20 Inches of fresh pow pow

I almost died on Flathead, on the rap after doing the SW Butt. I'd rapped to a ledge and was looking for the next anchor when some dinner-plate sized rocks peeled off the ledge where the rap anchor was. Barely missed me but chopped our ropes in half. Took like 20 raps to get down after that. South Face of Flathead, My Mom's Muscle Shirt, is still the best Grave IV around though.

That's a radical list of summer accomplishments. I managed to fail on Cobra Piller, W Ridge of Eyetooth, and a hot chick on my trip to AK last summer .

Mt. Thompson = Booty Peak

You've never been on moderate terrain with large exposure? (above a cliff) Don't fall or just make due with your short axe.

Long axes are worthless. Unless the terrain is steep you don't need one all. Its not a walking stick it a fucking ice and snow tool.
