Tres cool. It will take all of April, May, June and July to get in good enough shape to climb up there anyway

Yes, it's a shame that Vantage is such a god-forsaken pile of choss, choss and nothing but choss. I hate that place and wish everybody else could go there and stay there, and leave the nice solid granite at the other places for me.

Not a big fan of toast are ya Schuldtzy?

Suck it up big guy

Dave da man

Next would be better, this weekend is already planned.

This morning I feel great, albeit somewhat unwashed.

Ya I wanna know who got drunk passed out under a table lost the tax envelope didn't make it over there at 11:59 pm and finally stumbled home in the morning.

Oops... does that rule out everybody except Trask?

Ya and 3000 views.

Ya for sure that's some excellent advice... normally something I've learned to live and breathe but this time we were so psyched about TC that we completely fixated on it. All we had was full-shank boots, no rock shoes. Driving past the Icicle crags as the sun came up to a clear blue sky truly sucked. But hey, at least we both salvaged a full workday, and hopefully we can take a day off midweek next week instead

Did he give you an earfull at the rock today? No, I keep going there at the wrong time of day so I miss all the fun.

whoa. can you get that on video? Ray might be able to draw a picture for you with Microsoft Paint. Would you really want that?

I wasn't really going to post, because I didn't really believe myself (does that make sense?) but here goes... SmilingWhiteKnuckles and I woke up at 2 am this morning at the gate on Eight Mile Road. The temp there was 50 degrees (yup, at 2 am). We started hiking 2:40 and reached the trailhead after 90 minutes of nice dry road followed by nasty postholing The temp there was 45 degrees (mm-hmm, at ~4:15). I was using a small thermometer attached to my pack strap. The pack was sitting on the ground ca. 5 yards from the car for a half hour before I took the 50 degree reading, the 45 degree reading I took while hiking. I checked with Wayne who has the same kind of meter and uses it the same way, he has had no trouble with it and neither have I. I'm inclined to think the readings were accurate, the air felt that warm. We eventually decided to turn around - neither of us wanted to start climbing at 8-9 am following a night this warm. Oh well. I heard today that the Colchuck Lake area can warm up like this, for short periods of time, so maybe this warm air will dissipate tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully all you guys that are headed up there this weekend have better luck than we did!

Similar to me. I get called "Fucking Trouble" as in "Stay away from that dickhead. He's Fucking Trouble." - Not to suggest that you and I were fornicating (fucking trouble) or anything. Hmmm. Boyo that's disaster narrowly averted right here. Just think, if you had not suggested you and Allison were fornicating there would have been hell to pay. Allison, Dryad, Dryad, Allison, it's a fine line to tread eh?

Hmm. They happen to be Seahawks cheerleaders any time after I was born?

Don't worry, Coach has a plan.

Sphinx sucks fart out of falling coils.

I've heard horrible stories of the outer crusts of people's eyeballs freezing solid at altitude. However, this only applies to people who don't blink. Anybody that heads for Denali should make sure they blink. Btw the increased oxygen permeability lenses are a pretty cool invention. An added benefit of these lenses is a slight combustion effect due to oxygen molecules that get stuck in the lense material. This generates sufficient heat to keep the surface of your eyeball nice and thawed out!

for fuk i am. Ahahahahaha what a fun game

Heh, that would be a fucking classic, IP-ban Cavey and shut out Ade and Nathan and... all those other Microsofties... Poetic justice

Two miles up a popular trail my buddy and I caught up with a large group of decidedly non-outdoorsy types, slowly ambling along. We wanted to pass, fast, they wanted to chat, much. As we tip-toed past them one of them tells us very happily that they are looking for aliens. Since I'm a non-resident alien and always willing to help I told them they'd already found one - they didn't seem to get very happy though, just a little bit annoyed. Oh, and duplicating Eric and Cracked's Alpental feat is one of my prouder moments.

Would be damn fine to have a tent like that for car camping

Shuddup commie traitor (This is kind of like getting a pagetop, right?)

There is such a thing? If cc.com goes corporate, does that make Jon an outdoor industry corporate executive?
