i'll have to second alpine on that one. its great to be fired up but it would be nice to know that people will show up before planning too much. as you say this aint colorado. [This message has been edited by dr. jay (edited 08-03-2001).]

sounds like another fine time, but unfortunately i'm off to work for the night. i hope none of you upstanding citizens pays me a surprise visit in the e.r. while trying to drive home with a buzz on, though. and happy birthday lisa, someone please make sure she gets plenty of shots!

and what's wrong with the sleestacks? they live in those funky caves with the trippy lights...kind of like most ballardites.

hey jman, you mention crampons in the heading but not the post. do you have a pair to sell?

i know slobbering beasts really make me thirsty. but it is good though.

well i finally made it back to the alehouse to pick up my credit card and pay my bill. for some reason i couldn't quite manage it the other night but after seeing the tab i realize why i was feeling a bit rough the next day. i hope the booze flows as freely up north.

well actually i just keep re-visiting the old ones. i guess i can't blame it on the climb, though, just my own fucked-up feet. and by the way, i noticed the name change--have you been suffering the same? blisters kind of get in the way of a good time, eh? i'm going shoe shopping this week.

and an easy mistake it is. aiming for the crack pitches higher up and then working backwards may make it a bit easier. doing the urban bypass also helps keep you left, which by the way is a great variation. it definitely adds a little excitement to the day. hope you have comfortable shoes, though. i'm still feeling my blisters.

hear, hear. i certainly had an interesting stumble home myself. who bought that damn jager anyway?

well yes we do...but usually its not about bolts. and no, i wasn't proposing that thing you said but just taking a moment for some legal system bashing. perhaps it is just a little of my euro-envy but it seems that they are much less concerned about the threat of being sued. if you do something stupid or are a victim of bad luck then its no one elses fault. and that mentality is certainly not exclusive to the mountains. mcdonald's coffee anyone?

maybe its because there's not enough lawyers around to scare people out of allowing access to the mountains

well now the flu can be a real bummer to catch, but usually unless you're old and fragile, other than being a bit of a drag the flu's pretty safe. unfortunately there's plenty of those frail folks out there to skew the statistics. not enough climbing when they were young, i reckon. even more justification to tell the missus, in case you needed some.

its nice to know mother nature's got us covered this that. in case of emergencies or other such unexpected losses.
