*drool* Nice find, Pax. This was pretty easy, everyone guessed right. I found that first shot on flickr and did a double-take.

OK, we've had "name that route" threads. This is slightly different. Which one is the North Ridge of Stuart, and which is the North Ridge of the Piz Badile? 1. 2.

I agree, archenemy: fewer men for you.

"I get older, they stay the same age." I was pissed that they had already put the corn dogs back in the freezer for the night. And when I ordered a triple half-caff skinny hazelnut latte, I just got blank stares. Savages.

10d slab? I really otter get Whitelaw's guide.

I used an old 25-degree down bag for the same route in late July and it was toasty. Left the bivy at home because it added too much bulk and we had a bomber weather forecast. I carried my 42L pack... I'd rather carry more weight for less bulk in general.

I walked into the Shell station for my customary post-climb corn dog and overheard this conversation: Cashier: Hey Misty, come on in. I wanna talk to you. 17-Year-Old Girl Outside: Naw, I can't be within 300 feet. (runs off) She seemed so young to already have her own restraining order.

Word. Sounds like a good project. How much more climbing is there after pitch four?

I think these are accurate: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/588731/

Nice flip-flops. For a bunch of non-Minnesotans, you all are sure nice folks for raising money for Kurt. Gosh!

They will be mesmerized by your mirror-like face, into which they will stare deeply to check mascara and look to see if the Botox is wearing off yet.

You don't have to pay for MILF tickets. Parking at Bellevue Square is free.

20-40 degrees at night. Turn up the thermostat if it gets too cool.

Dammit!

Just close your eyes and feel the energy of the mountain, man.

Forbidden, East or West Ridge North Twin, West Ridge Stuart, West Ridge

Blueberries are almost in, but still tart and too few.

And for God's sake, crawl back through the pipe in the opposite direction on the way out!

Tell me what you lost Sunday 7/16 at the base of Three O'Clock Rock and I'll get it back to you.

I was going to write a long-winded description, but it's really just what Otto says. I think it's about an hour total to the base of Online, or ~40 minutes to the trail up into the woods. Fuddhat/Kill da Wabbit is highly recommended.

Yup. I have the previous version. The sole started peeling away at the toe, so I glued it back down with Freesole.

That's almost as bad as when the tape falls off!!1! You brought chocolate milk to a bar? WTF?

Those stiffy dogbone draws'll kill ya. I bet ropes have changed in the last 26 years, though. They should repeat that study, since few people seem to use tied runners anymore, since they're more bulky and heavy.

Looks like fun. Thank goodness you brought those little monkeys with you to protect the naughty bits!
