"Pain is weakness leaving the body" I think the Marines copy righted it or something and "Getting up is optional, getting down is manditory" I think it's by Ed Viestures My buddy told me one he got out of Freedom of the Hills "Mountaineering is the art of suffering" ? I think I need to learn how to spell

I know the Tetons are a ways away from the Cascades, but I was wondering if anyone might know the alpine ice conditions in the Tetons. Thanx

I need a partner who lives in the Boise Id area. I love to climb (alpine mostly, but also rock, ice and mountain), telemark, alpine ski, snowboard, mountain bike and backpack. I trad 9's 10's pushing it, and can sport up to 10c. I would like to travel some where if you want to meet maybe climb Rainier or something cool. Would like to climb almost anything. I am also a younger guy with morals. Please respond if iterested abbottk@bigplanet.com
