Hey, you're right... On both counts. Those maps are really cool, but Agnes would have to be a detour on any traverse. I've heard people sometimes continue the Ptarmigan Traverse all the way over to Bonanza and Holden though, that sounds good.

Sweet! Hehehe, make you a deal, you get photos, I get story

What are the rap anchors like on the SE shoulder? How hard is it to find them and how good are they? Is 2x50 plenty or borderline? Sounds like a better option than descending the route.

Bah. If it doesn't look like a boulder to you, slant your head and squint like so and I'm sure you'll do better

The UW rock! It's not concrete! At least not all of it! They're real rocks!

I guess it was just a little server glitch then...?

Duly confused

Really?

I used to have a Nikon Coolpix 950. But I took it along on one too many overnight trips and killed it - a little bit of moisture can be enough, there's at least two high voltage sources (flash, LCD panel) that can fry all the CMOS if they short. Note that anything but the most simple film camera has the same vulnerability, as long as there is a chip to do the autofocus... I'll get a new digital camera eventually, one of those nice new small ones, but definitely only take it on climbing trips in an underwater case. Apart from the fragility I think digital rocks. No more skyhigh processing costs. I shot thousands of images before destroying my camera and never paid a penny more than the startout price. The software crashed very occasionally, which required rebooting by opening up the battery compartment, but it never failed to get me the picture I wanted until I finally fried it - even in evil weather on the summit of Rainier. The latency from click to capture is getting lower and lower too.

Hey, cool suggestion robertm. I'm filing that away for later... If you did Dome and Agnes and wanted to continue in the same direction to finish a traverse, what would follow? I don't have any maps here

Cool site. Guess what, I found a bunch of nice posts by Dru too

Listen up people, you're being goaded by the effortlessly cool one. Time to bring out the

Everybody descend on it (ascend to it?) and fill it up! Promptly!

Good deal more than just looking

Phawk! Ray! This was a really cool thread! I mean, before you deleted everything You even made Lambone sorry. It's not like he has anything against the helo And Fred doesn't even read the board, right? It's just a bit of teasing... you'd be disappointed if everybody stopped... and I sure as hell would be disappointed if you people stopped posting pics of all those peaks I never heard of. The ones Dru left here are freaking awesome! Bad Caveman... [ 08-21-2002, 07:12 PM: Message edited by: fleblebleb ]

I figure by the time I need to think about a new battery for my Avocet the screen will be so hopelessly scratched that I'll happily send it away for general overhaul... Allison, where do you get the watchamacallits for fixing stuff? Hot bond? What is it?

Lickitysplit... HAHAHAHAHAHARHARHARHAR Ouch my abs hurt.

I ran a search and a "Sport Climber's Glossary" thread came up, which I actually remember laughing at... but when I click on it the thing tells me that thread doesn't exist. Where did it go? Did something so vile get posted to it that the whole thread had to be obliterated? Are we getting censored? Did Agent Orange show up? Somebody tell me what's going on...

Schweet... Now go fill in what summit you were talking about in the old summit register post Wayne!

Thanks Alex and Lowell. We screwed up the Challenger approach when we went there a week ago and wound up not having the extra time for climbing Crooked Thumb like we had planned. Pretty annoying because we'd carried extra gear in there that was completely unnecessary for Challenger John, too bad we didn't chat last night since we were both there... I might not make it next week if it's in Tacoma.

The Hilleberg Akto is a really cool tent... but costs three times as much as the Sierra Designs thing. Check out http://www.hilleberg.com/ or http://www.promountainsports.com/.

The leg band was lying on the table and we guessed it was yours... Wayne, did you take it? Maybe we just left it on the table Sorry... Was a good crowd though! Some lurkers with no screen names, what's up with that! Get out of the woodwork guys

Widowmaker... how the hell did it get that name? Some of those names make no sense to me. Anybody know how Cutthroat got named?

Trask, you're an enigma. Did you get that stuff of some Martha bboard where you spend the other half of your time? How about digging up some Martha horse cock recipes for us next time you visit?

I smell a patent. Hey, we need a $$$ gremlin!
