Sweet.

Right on, Thinker. If the police used cc.com to catch trailhead thieves, I'd actually be impressed.

Women just complain about wanting to gain weight in very specific places.

Here's a diet for some serious bulking up (8000 calories a day!): http://www.gastronomica.org/pages/sample4.1.html

It definitely smells like a pork product of some kind in here. Is someone cooking bacon in the Muir hut?

I've got $20K or so on my stuff, but I never tallied up the value of everything. That's what my agent said was average

Hello, law enforcement community! Welcome!

If you just want to gain muscle size to impress the airheaded ladies, use creatine. Worked for my lil' brother.

Gaining more weight has little to do with being stronger (as you yourself have observed), faster (duh), or in "top shape". As you work out, you are probably actually "converting" fat mass to muscle mass, so you don't notice weight gain. If you want to measure fitness, use something like VO2max, maximum bench press weight, mile time, Mt. Si time, highest redpoint grade, etc.

Did you pull the fourth thing out of your ear? The last one looks... vaginal.

Might as well do like your avatar pic, then.

AlpineDave's girlfriend was on a bike!

Hey, anyone know who took this photo? We'd like to publish it in the NWMJ.

I have a life! It consists of waiting for shit to compile. This is what my browser window looks like: See how the little lightbulbs are all out? I've read every flippin' thread, I'm so bored.

Sick. Your soul is truly uncaged.

I always thought the Cascade Trifecta was Pilchuck, Si, and Tiger, anyway. Anyone know if that's been done before?

Totally. There's unbelievably extensive beta around here somewhere if you search for it, too.

You can start from wherever you want, but if you camp in the Enchantments, you need a permit. I figure if you've got so many days, you might as well camp out and soak it all up. The rangers are bound to run into you if you're up there for X days in a tent. For day trips to the Enchantments, you just need to fill out a permit, but there's no limit or fee, if I remember correctly.

When you sit in that driver's seat, you're just putting your soul back in the cage, man.

Dru, quit shitting on the parade.

Ya need a permit for the Enchantments, tho.

Thanks, Lowell, I vaguely remembered that. Time to edit that press release, eh?

Sahale is a very reasonable solo trip. A little class 4 at the top. Dunno about Sulphide Gl, never been there. You could traverse Daniel and Hinman, then scramble around on the Middle Fork peaks. That could take up your whole trip.

Good book. It's good to hear that you did pretty well with a lightweight setup, DPS. You ate less than you expected because you did less work per day than you expected?
