It looks like someone photoshopped a head onto a pile of undifferentiated flesh. Where are her hands? *shudder*

The Yosemite Free Climbs Supertopo book has some short histories of the various routes therein.

There's some Pete Doorish 5.10scary route up there maybe... and DNR doesn't want people climbing there... I dunno, just vague rumors.

A couple people have brought up glucose tablets (or lemon drops). I've got some sugar tabs from Germany that are mostly maltodextrin... any reason why those wouldn't fit the bill as an emergency sugar source?

Though members of Congress were on the committee, it was not a Congressional committee. From http://www.9-11commission.gov/: Wasn't President Clinton was interviewed by a similar independent committee, also under oath, for the Lewinsky what-have-you (the infamous videotape)?

My favorite part was when she tried to explain that the document entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" was not a warning that bin Laden wanted to attack inside the US.

FOUR BUCKS CHEAPER! I can change my name to "dba ExtreemPuffyJackets4U.com" if it'll make you feel better. I'll even deliver the jacket to you at an upcoming Pub Club so you can drink in pimp style.

Big-ass synthetic parka, color red, size L. Stuff sack included. Got it at the REI yard sale with the tags attached. It's more than I'll need anytime soon, but anyone bound for Denali this spring would be toasty-warm wearing this jacket. I sweat just looking at it. It'd also make a great gift for the hot "climber" chick you're stalking at Everest base camp. Pick up in Seattle or buyer pays shipping. PM me.

I remember reading about a Yosemite hardman smearing pine resin all over his shoes to get the FA of some crazy hard slab (5.13?).

Not if you don't run Windows.

Argh! .wmv! Any chance you have an MPEG version?

It looks like someone took a fall and was injured. http://www.heraldnet.com/Stories/04/4/4/18434384.cfm

Yeah, what he said.

Early this afternoon a helicopter flew close by the Index town walls, landed near town, and later picked up what looked like a paramedic and a litter on its winch. I hope this wasn't another climbing accident... anyone know what happened?

[Crocodile Hunter]That's right, Gary! Outer Space is home to one of the largest populations of wild chickenheads in the state![/Crocodile Hunter] Too bad about your partner...

You can swing one o' them P'tit Loups across the street at LCD...

I got a similar punishment when I refused to listen to that voice: sprained ankle and six weeks of reading about other people's climbing. Get better soon, and work on keeping your muscles and joint in shape!

Your web page makes it look like you're seeking clients, not partners. Big difference.

... in winter.

Do a search and you will come up with reams of opinion, poetry, slander, and spray relating to the hate-it-or-love-it tricam.

Would someone please post the move-by-move beta, a la Chain Reaction, so I can go send? The photos and chalked-up holds still leave room for uncertainty. Does reading this thread blow my onsight?

Ha! I had to double-check to make sure this wasn't CBS.

the fleb is in hardcore work mode nowadays.

My friend Dan skied the north couloir today. Good firm snow up high, but variable and more difficult conditions in the lower third. Avy debris down low was annoying. On the way out (around 12:30pm) we saw another guy headed up with his boards.
