Here's something that may help: Girlfriend Remote

It's been getting younger and younger. I think the previous was 4 or so. It's the Mazama version of beauty pageants. But where can I get tiny shorts and polypro?
-
Easy now, you've got some competition around here. Here's my girl, working on her bivy skills Someone in the Mazamas got their 3 year old up Old Snowy this fall under their own power. Achievements of a different sort.

Looks like quite a bit of precip down low. June Lake Snotel

A new line of gaper gear. The OG collection.

For easiest gluing get a couple pieces of glue from a good ski shop. The glue comes already rolled out between two paper or plastic release layers. Once you've got the old glue off, peel it, stick it, trim it. Last I checked, The Mountain Shop did the whole deed for $25. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Probably gone up by now.

Are reservations needed for the Tilly Jane AFrame?
jaee replied to Gaper_Jeffy's topic in the *freshiezone*
Elaborate, please. I've been to the A-frame a few times. What's the cook hut? Also, the Hood River nordic club has a nice cabin on the other side of the creek in Tilly Jane campground. I think it cost $65 a night, but sleeps 15 or so people. It has a propane stove and lights, so you're paying for convenience. -
Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr. I had Jr. wired. Could play for an hour or so on a quarter. I even did OK w/ Dragons Lair. I think it was the first 50 cent game I ever saw. Asteroids. Star Castle. Frogger. Space Invaders. Galaga. Galaxian. Commander Keen. The first scroller. good ol' Doom. Nothing like stalking your buddies w/ the rocket launcher. Mortal Kombat was cool. My buddies ripped the keyboard drawer off my desk battling each other.

Not complaining about the size, but the fact that it's static. I've never caught an actual crevasse fall. I have fallen into a slot before and was surprised at how far I went. That was on a 9mm. Just seems like the initial pull would be a lot higher w/ a static line.
-
Have you ever caught anyone on this rope? If not I'd suggest you practice on a "safe" cornice or short drop-off somewhere. You may be surprised at the difference between 20-30 m. of dynamic rope and this static line. I'd be afraid of snatching my partner off his feet and dragging him along before he could get an axe in. I've seen glacier ropes at gear shops, usually 30-35 m. of around 9 mm dynamic rope for $40-50. Anyone else think using static line for glacier travel is a bad idea?

p.s. Bush sucks.

Or maybe your clock radio doesn't have to still reliably work after going thru a huge slide. Or function in wet and cold conditions. How much did you pay for your last cellphone? It functions in all of the above. And it's alot more high tech, alot smaller, and cheaper than a beacon. I think most cell phone manufacturers will disagree, especially where moisture, shock, and vibration are concerned. Try this test. Put your cell phone in a ziplock w/ a spoonful of water. Now shake it up. Put it in a warm area for a couple of hours, then into the freezer for a couple more. Repeat w/ the tranceiver. Now turn them on. Publish the results. Also, see if your cell phone company will honor the warranty for equipment w/ moisture damage. Also, the cost of a cell phone is buried in the service plans. Try buying a decent new cell phone without signing up for a couple year service plan and see how cheap they really are. I'd also guess that the liability issues on safety equipment like avy beacons are a bit more complex than on a cell phone. This adds costs to the business developing the beacons.

Gets my vote for most stupid piece of gear. Although the custom GU pouches are a close second. The electric carabiners are great though.

bump. Anyone been out there?

Stick a couple on the bottom of your sled so it doesn't slide backwards on uphill slogs when you stop.

Nope. And stick your patronizing attitude up your ass. Moderate that. Moderator: A person, or small group of people, who manages a moderated mailing list or Usenet newsgroup. Moderators are responsible for determining which email submissions are passed on to the list or newsgroup. Moderators came into being because of bbs and usenet postings. All moderated posts could not be seen until approved by the moderator. So, if they didn't approve of a posting, it didn't show up. This is censorship. You want total freedom of speech write your own newspaper or website. This forum requires a different approach because the rule is spray first, ask questions later. Therefore to moderate these forums you must edit, move, or delete posts. A moderator may issue warnings (which they have) but the main task is assuring the postings meet the agreed upon or mandated content.

So what did you do with them? C'mon, share the trash. Dibs on 5 if you still have them.

Since colorado has more resorts, the number of skiers is higher. You need to know how many skier-days there were and divide the number of incidents to normalize the fatalities. If more people died, but more people went, the frequency of avalanches is the same.

Better take a grammar lesson. A moderator is one who moderates, not one who is moderate. Their job is to remove improper material. Call yourself a warlord and ban away if you want. Delete, move, lock, whatever level of corruption your tiny bit of power incites you to do. If the "warlords" choose to rule by fear I doubt the site will prosper. If you want respect, clarify the rules and live by them. Tell people if they cross the line they'll be banned by IP, not avatar. Sure, some will go to the library or computer lab and keep posting, but most won't hassle with it again. Otherwise, banning is pointless if it's by avatar. Takes 30 seconds to login as another annoyance. Or so I've heard.
-
What I don't understand is why moderators bother banning an avatar if they let you back in with a new one. What's the point of banning you in the first place? Ban banning. It's pointless. Just remove the offensive message/image and keep on moderating. That's why they're called moderators, after all.

Fitzroy is the way to go if you need the room. 2 people + gear is no problem. Very strong tent & easy to setup. Vestibules are small for storage but OK for cooking. I-tent or Eldo for fast & light. 2 people, no gear, fits in narrow locations. Bibler all the way. Just wish they'd get those pole clips figured out better. Sucks to see a bunch of 10 cent wire wrap in a $600 tent. :dedhorse: Where's the dead horse gremlin? This is another thread that shows up at least twice a year.

I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I lead some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the mountain and I lost my crew I watched the chaos take another few Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the rat I know that some of you just don't get that Ice-blood to keep on running out. I've seen the ice-axe and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every climber's like a settin' sun....
