  1. this is true for all single wall tents. (and jackets too) So I would not let this data point deter you from getting this tent. If you want a tent that breathes well in a rain storm, you need a double wall tent.
  2. saw your video on the morning news, channel 2. the news folk think we are crazy.
  3. you two are such a cute pair.
  4. but would it be as entertaining?

    Gu

    technically you are saying that DNA matrixes can utilize the complex sugar compounds found in GU. I believe that DNA is made up of amino acids so complex sugar compounds are of no use to DNA. I suspect that you meant "Gene's" as in "Gene is". I can direct you to some english textbooks if you need a refresher on your native tongue. (if you look hard enough, you will find several english mistakes in this post too. Much like a "Where's Waldo" for grammer) Gu is actually sweet and tasty and helps me send the rad gnar gnar 5.8's that are so coveted.

    Gu

    I ate a gu that expired in 08 last weekend. Everything seems OK.
  7. if it was tilted enough, maybe the heat from the stove rose to side if the pot and made that part much hotter than it would have been normally. How much of a tilt was going on? It seems like you would need a 20 degree or more tilt to make that happen.
  8. bump This early end times only last for the next couple weeks.
  9. FYI. there is cell coverage in newhalem but only within spitting distance of the town.
  10. not the blue lake parking lot?
  11. If I remember right, when a rope ages, it loses elasticity or has higher impact forces. So leading on trad gear may not be a good idea. But taking it sport climbing may be ok. Top roping should be fine.
  12. really amazing how much snow is still on the sides of forbidden. I have spent a lot of time camping out on the eldorado/inspiration glacier in may/june (5 seasons) and I can't remember seeing that much snow by early june. Maybe my memory is flawed.
  13. Got a job that is out early and I can be at the crags by 3:30 to 3:45pm. If you are interested in doing a couple laps after work on the LTW or something, drop me a line. My focus is just getting solid at the classic 5.9's there but will gladly be your belay bitch for sick harder things. got gear rope car. Will be leaving from monroe though but glad to drive from there.
  14. In that photo, isn't the north face of buckner behind and left of forbidden? That photo should be from eldo glacier
  15. option 1 is a morally correct thing to do for someone opposed to fixed draws. But rarely happens. option 2 is a bad idea as any negative comments told to the forest service (especially from within our own ranks) has negative consequences for climbing in general. now onto the idea that fixed draws are trash: from a dictionary definition of trash trash (trsh) n. 1. a. Worthless or discarded material or objects; refuse or rubbish. b. Something broken off or removed to be discarded, especially plant trimmings. c. The refuse of sugar cane after extraction of the juice. 2. A place or receptacle where rubbish is discarded: threw the wrapper in the trash. 3. a. Empty words or ideas. b. Worthless or offensive literary or artistic material. c. Disparaging, often abusive speech about a person or group. 4. A person or group of people regarded as worthless or contemptible. tr.v. trashed, trash·ing, trash·es 1. Slang a. To throw away; discard: trashed the broken toaster. b. To wreck or destroy by or as if by vandalism; reduce to trash or ruins. c. To beat up; assault. d. To subject to scathing criticism or abuse; attack verbally: "The ... professor trashes conservative ... proposals as well as liberal nostrums" (Michael Marien). 2. a. To remove twigs or branches from. b. To cut off the outer leaves of (growing sugar cane). no where does leaving anything behind with the purpose of using it again by anyone else considered "trash". Arguments about fixed draws should not use the "trash" path as it is technically flawed.
  16. stealing is stealing regardless if you rationalize it as cleaning up trash. One draw on a sport climb is "booty" and can be considered "trash". A string of draws is obviously left for a reason and not considered "trash". By dawg's (oops I mean rainman...I think raindawg = rainman) flawed logic, I am morally allowed to cleanup trail signs, mailboxes and swing sets. Anything left on public lands is free game as it can all be considered "trash". Moral citizens find it easy to leave items for public good instead of stealing them. Besides, what point is there in stealing draws? Personal gain is not a viable reason as what do you do with a big pile of draws? What point is it to have more than 12 draws? Stealing to make a point about excessive visual impact? The $40 impact to the sport climbing community is actually trivial. So stealing draws is stupid and bad for personal karma.

    Trailer Bike

    are you looking for the kind where the child sits on a bike seat or the kind where the kid sits inside of a frame? Does the trailer bike have 2 or 1 wheels? I suspect you mean the 1 wheel, kid sits on a bike seat kind.
  18. dane's right. back to the point if it is going to be hot and humid and you are hitchhiking, why not go the chaoco sandal route? How much hiking are you gonna do? If I am not hiking or working, I am living in those sandals all summer long. I use regular thorlo socks and they work very well.
  19. "lets not turn this rape into a murder" maybe a cotton sock would be better for soaking up blood and using as tight wrap for applying direct pressure.
  20. honey badger don't give a fuck about snow on the route. He is a hungry little shit and takes what he wants. very nice job gents.
  21. some bad ass climbing going on in the enchantments and wash pass! like honey badgers who don't give a fuck about snow on the route.
  22. anne with a E - 8 routes 5.8 to stinking hard, mostly 10's, couple of 3 star routes blondie bluff - 2 tiny routes, 3 stars both, 11 and a 12. (never been there)
  23. p 265 of sky valley rock has fun forest in snoq pass. actually has three areas in that general location. Blonde bluff is 150 yd east of fun forest.
  24. as long as it is in eastern washington, it is all good.
