I must admit that I am unable to actually *carry* my horsecock. It usually ends up dragging in the snow behind me. Curiously, Dwayner is often seen skulking in the talus nearby, muttering something about "Big Lou" and panting heavily. [ 08-06-2002, 01:57 PM: Message edited by: slothrop ]

The only useful information on that website is the fact that Hans Florine's wife is HOTT:

Sweet. My obsessive lurking pays off. We'll have to go climbing sometime so you can hand me my prize

Ted Bundy the serial killer, who was the limo driver for Governor Dan Evans in 1972. Google rules.

This is my favorite part of the weather forecast: "AUGUST 4TH IS THE CLIMATOLOGICAL DRIEST DAY IN SEATTLE WITH MEASURABLE RAINFALL ONLY 8 TIMES SINCE 1893." Y'all ain't got nothin' to worry about. I always send if it isn't raining hard enough to wash the chalk off my ice axe.

And then there's Krakauer's account of his ascent of the Devil's Thumb. He strapped something like 30' of curtain rod to his pack. The story's in Eiger Dreams. Solo *Alaskan* glacier travel... that's the real deal.

had fun at exit 38 tonight... my brother, who's visiting for the month and has little climbing experience, got up three moderate routes and flailed valiantly on his first 10a. my partner had his eye on the 11b/c in the Actual Cave, so he hangdogged his way up it in fine fashion. i had to clean, and 11b/c is pretty much over my head. i ended up in the dark, with a headlamp, swinging and grunting my way back up the rope after falling going for the last draw. we left no booty for ye scurvy gear pirates!

I used lemon eucalyptus and a headnet this past weekend in the Enchantments to good effect. While wearing pants, windshirt, and headnet, I was unscathed. My poly t-shirt was *worthless* against mosquitoes, though. I have about 25 bites on each shoulder to prove it. One of the guys I was hiking with put on some DEET, then took a drink from his blue nalgene. When he took his hand off of the bottle, it had turned blue. That's fucking scary.

If you're talking about bouldering outside, I'd say you are understandably worried. There are some nasty ankle-breaking landings to be had while bouldering 3 feet up, while a 3-foot fall onto a solid piece is no big deal. Maybe that boyfriend of yours could, uh, spot you.

Those recipes look interesting, but they're impossible to read... how many grams of fat does the first dish have, 7 or 25? It looks like there are two or three recipes' ingredients in one paragraph.

Anyone else taken a look at Vesper or Sperry recently? Any info on the approach or route conditions would be great.

I was waiting for my map to get laminated by the slow-ass REI folks the other day, and a book on Idaho climbing caught my eye. It looks pretty extensive at first glance: Idaho: A Climbing Guide

From the website: quote: Spectator Tips: Once you are in the Adventure Village, it's hard to miss the climbing wall towering over the crowds. Bring a blanket and spread out to watch all the excitement. Looks like they're planning on having a lot of gapers. I guess I know where everyone will be that week...

I think karen is in the running for the Post Like Dennis Harmon Contest! Go Karen!

From the Seattle P-I: "Two rescued after three days in Mount Rainier crevasse"

You have *one* tooth? I guess that's not surprising, really.

It's usually "safe" to travel up to Muir unroped all year. Crevasses might open up late season, but you can usually avoid them by sight.

This guy's website has a guestbook, and soon after someone sent email to the UW climbers list about The Conquest of Granite Peak, a righteous climber from Seattle signed the guestbook, telling the guy how dangerous and irresponsible he was, etc. etc. I checked the guestbook a few minutes later, to see if anyone else had ripped into him, and he had deleted the critical entry. Guess he doesn't want to hear any criticism...

This guy is somethin' else. He will lead the All-Time Deadly Gumby Rope Team from Hell.

just got back from one pitch at soggy darrington. now i've scoped out 3 o'clock rock, at least . and surprise, we were the only ones there. instead of slipping and sliding up the soaked rock, we headed up to whitehorse and checked out the trail as far as the start of the bushwhack. it was a nice day out in the rain.

Chubstick with creamy gu filling. For the traditionalists, cheese flavored creemy gu filling is available, but only with whole uncut horsecock.

Dennis, you do a fine job making yourself look like an asshole. Keep it up!
