it is a big world out there. should be plenty to distract you if you just look around.

oh great....now I gotta google that.......wish I hadn't............

I have never been to Mississippi and I hang with my homies, the little feet riders. Good on you for taking care of that cool place.

OK

I work at a boeing plant on east marginal way in south seattle and can meet there between 7am and 1:30pm. 2. On my commute home starting at 1:30pm via I5 to I90E to I405N. Then on hwy522 to near maltby. If you can meet somewhere near that drive. 3. After 4pm, I can meet you at the maltby café parking lot. 4. Weekends. We can figure something out. 5. Or if you want to have it shipped, pay with paypal and add actual shipping costs. thanks gene

no example to provide but maybe a better glove instead? wouldn't a glove that was insulated with many small patches on the palm be grand. Have it so that when clutching a tool those patches would all line up and when the hand is open, the patches would spread apart and breathe better. My only good advice is to keep your core warm and you hand should stay pretty warm.

from the move the hut dot org site. To our many friends and supporters: We won the court case against Seattle architect Tom Kundig! Superior Court Judge Culp has ruled that Mr. Kundig and his partners violated the covenants by placing their hut on the ridgeline of Flagg Mountain and must remove it. Not only is this an amazing victory for a small community that banded together to fight a Seattle celebrity architect, but a victory for all who are fighting to preserve the wonder and beauty of unsullied nature. Frank Lloyd Wright had plenty to say on this topic: "No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other." Many thanks to everyone who made this happen.

I prefer to keep in touch with my wife and post on the internet via carrier pigeon.

yes until that face on the amber alert is someone you know. then it is fuckin important. Someone is in trouble and one can't be bothered to give a simple look? Way to be civil and member of society. If you can't give a rats ass about an abducted kid, why should anyone give a care about your anti bolts ranting? Why do you hate kids so much? was your local crag bolted by 7 year olds?

I think the cowboy from Wy has got the story straight and the reactionists are just......reacting as they always do. The sky is falling down! thanks for bringing sensibility to the clown punching shit show.

is that the cascade burger place?

great to have a photo description of the east ledges descent now. so you were happy with your choice in the "Climbing a gully back to the col" photo? that is the best gulley right?

that is awesome. in addition to good ole nationalistic pride for 2 yanks standing on the top two spots of the podium, but we have more local boy pride for us!

teh good thing about J tree is that if it is cold, you can walk to the other side of the rock and climb in the sun. much easier to chase the sun there than at red rocks. never been to tuscon so I can't speak to the ability to chase the sun there. J tree is just a awesome place to be. what about smith? MIght be good there too as you have options of sun exposure as well.

j tree for rock banff for ice pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum. vegas would work if all you wanted to do was sport climb. dem canyons get cold. need sun in january.

copied and pasted from summitpost. hoping the best for the lad. "found out on Josh's facebook account that he had a bad fall near the Banff area and just returned home with many injuries. Here is a first mention of his accident : "Josh is in Calgary, and his mom has spoken to a doctor at the facility. He has a spinal and collarbone fracture and and is undergoing surgery tomorrow to his finger. Josh's mom feels that his climbing partner was very heroic in his endeavor to get Josh safely off the mountain and is grateful for all of his help." Here is his first post since returning home : "I am so thankful to have made it home alive from a serious mountain climbing accident. I broke my collar bone, shattered my pinky, fractured many spots in my back and neck, a nasty puncture in my side, big lacerations in my head, and many more minor injuries. It will be a long time until I get back into climbing. Even being able to eat food by myself sounds good." Seems that Josh is already back online and probably will soon connect to SP. Let's wish him a quick recovery." and "Clavicle surgery went well. Had 8 screws placed in with a plate. Found out that my spine compression was worse than I originally thought. Went from being average height to being short. I don't mind that so much except that it might have some serious consequences on my back/neck in the future. At least the pain isn't so bad so far, pain meds are keeping me dizzy. And again, I feel quite fortunate to make it out of the ordeal alive. I am only down to a single finger on one hand which will make typing a lot harder. Especially with the cast getting in the way with that hand. My brother should aid me on this at times."

take about $20 from your stash and buy an umbrella to go with the rain jacket.

been feeling like a punch to the gut since this morning.........the why's don't matter at this time......time to grieve.

those were some worthless neighbors. several people saw them on the roof?

something between Washington pass and I90. open to many possibilities. something in the 5.9 to easy 5.10 range or mountaineering. if I don't get any hits, then a walk up Mt Pugh.

I would think people helping people is the American way regardless of the forum or it's application. Please forgive me. you don't understand what he is trying to say. the answer to your question is different between rock climbers and tree climbers. Most people are assuming you are asking in regards to rock climbing. You are assuming a negative purpose to Bronco's comment.

let me know if you are free for sunday. that is my day.

"I got lowe balls and large nuts" love the book MIke. got me a copy this time! well worth it as it may take a year to absorb all the info. Amazing that one person can know so much.
