Sabertooth: curious why you would venture into the Kitchen gullies, especially route 1C in these conditions. The recent load of snow and the warm temps clearly suggest poor conditions in a narrow gulley route. Be patient and wait for a freeze thaw cycle and enjoy the route when it's thick with water ice.

The rif-raf were all out last night. Great turnout. Hope everyone got home safe and sound. Excuse me now, I have a headache to attend to.

Will one of Portland most active sprayers be in attendance tonight? I'm not talking about DFA. I've unsuccessfully tried to coax him to previous PC gatherings.

I'm soooooo impressed winter boy. Hell, my dog can lap up a six pack of Midwest brewed watered down farmer beer. It's gotta be TG and let the sickness begin!!! If I get you really hungover then maybe I'll be able to keep up with ya at Smith.

And I owe you a beer for sharing your bud at Smith That's about six pints. I'd like to see you put that much beer down. I got $10 that says Winter can not polish off 6 pints in one night.

Western Australia is dry this time of year.

Thanks Chris. Guess it's just you and I buying eachother drinks. The rest of the pdx posers haven't figured out how to put drinking and climbing ahead of family and personal obligations.

I'm too lazy to read all the threads where? when? why?

Hey Chris, drag Drew's sorry ass out of the gym tonight. He needs to socialize more often. Tell em I said hello.

I got a request for all the PDX Pub Club attendees tonight: - Drink twice as much as normal - Tell twice as many bullshit climbing stories as usual - Tip the waitress twice as much as usual This is to make up for my absence. I checked with my priest and he says that hob knobbing in bars with climbers is definitely out. Have fun all. Perhaps I'll see ya next week.

You guys are so thoughtful and sensitive. It makes me feel all warm inside.

I had my hopes up for tomorrow. I don't think I can wait till next week.

The Lab is....Thursday night!!! Can some of you fools get there early, like right after work? I gotta leave by 8:30, but I'd like to drink and chat with all of you for a while.

When you're following a pair of hot buns in tights it's amazing how much faster a guy can run. I'd draft a hottie, say hello then pass her on the next hill. Then I'd draft the next hottie. Before ya know it you're on the home stretch and having a bowl of chowder. Runner chicks in tights. God bless America.

Vegas for 5 days with a group of non-climbing friends. Booze Strip Bars Gambling Mind alterations The usual Vegas fare.

Yo Iain, I've yet to see you make an apprearance at any of the PDX pub clubs or parties. What gives? Have you not mastered the skills of downclimbing, and as a result, can not descend to our level?

Winter, see what you've started. Now these two fuck heads will banter back and forth, drifting this worthy thread into mindless oblivion.

I gave up drinking beer for lent, so if we meet it needs to be in a bar that serves the hard stuff. I can not deal with you guys unless I'm smashed.

Portland Shamrock 15K run

Sounds like a great event. Wish I could make it, but my Saturday is already booked. Good luck Steve

Excellent TR. Suffering yet succeeding is perhaps the best experience on a mountain. Makes you feel like something more was accomplished than the usual aspects of a climb. Saturday morning while on the summit I was looking down the N an NE faces and saw two big slide debris fields, one on the Coe and the other one on the Elliot.
