A flub she made under stress? That rambling, incoherent, inconsistent, blathering was a flub? "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

A friend of mine had his Forester stolen from an I-90 trailhead last week. I'm ready to buy a Club now, if I ever go to another I-90 trailhead.

Ask teh Wiki...

But Bill, if sport=pleasuring yourself, what is bouldering=?? Bouldering = erectile dysfunction

Lifestyle choice. I know a few people that work 60+ hours a week and don't exercise because they don't have time. They forego personal health for financial gain or prestige. (Then there are the others that are just plain lazy, of course. Just look around my office.) What happens when you finish your residency? What will your work schedule be like after that? Is this just a foreshadowing of your career schedule? Anyway... I've got a job where I work from 7:30 - 4:00, and after work I'm running by 5:15. Thank god. Can't change your sschedule in any way? Might just have to tough out your residency without so much life outside of the residency itself. Chalk it up to the price you pay. When I climb on weekends and I'm training for a marathon at the same time, I start falling behind in the marathon training, and I spend a couple of days a week in a zombie state. Literally nodding off at my desk. Have to take a weekend off here and there. Can't have everything.

Were these failures both with Arc'teryx brand harnesses?

"If I Did It."

Funny thing is I got curious and read about the guy - seems he was an excellent boxer, just a moron when it came to dealing with personal issues. Apparently couldn't take care of himself.

Tyson wasn't playing for a team, though, so the only PR issues he had to deal with were his own. He's also lost millions in future sponsorships & advertisements. I've forgotten if it was the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times that calculated that Barry Bonds has lost about $38 million in possible advertising bucks that went to others because the companies wouldn't touch him and they went for someone with a 'cleaner' image instead. They mapped it all out - the companies, how much, etc. How many ads do you see Tyson in? Do you think you'll see Vick selling Nike or Ford? He's lost millions right there. Look at the ads Tiger Woods does, and his reputation and image. How long do you think they would keep him as their spokesman if he were caught molesting kids or something? The advertising money would disappear, as it has for Vick and Bonds.

What's this about Alpine Lakes hikes ?

Maybe he should have thought of how much he liked playing football before he took up torturing dogs as a hobby? Who the hell cares what matters to him? Bingo....!!!!! I'm sure he's allowed to. Just who's going to hire him now (or when he gets out)?

All the times I've been weathered off that peak, bonked and turned back on that route, lost confidence and turned back because of routefinding issues, and you friggin' nail it on the first try. My hat is off to you, sir.

I laughed like hell when I read that...

I don't think he'll be 'banned' from the NFL in any official way, but I doubt any team will hire him after that.

Ah. I've done Reflection Lake -> Pinnacle -> Whapaneyo -> Leavenworth a few times, so I have that down, and most of the other peaks separately, except Castle. The only thing I'm thinking about is Foss -> Castle, but that doesn't look too bad, a ridge run, actually, and Castle itself. I think I'll do it next July...

Examples...?

OnBelay Barbie is unimpressed.

They say Mailbox is "The new Mount Si". I don't believe them.

I may be naive, but why would someone just take one anchor? Especially a climber? Just to be an a-hole?

I say tie 'em up behind the vehicle and take 'em for a drag down the road.

It won't let me out of the country - I tried it.

You'd expect to see him on the left?

Speaking of ZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz... Isn't this about some fool or something, and not me?

Will you define a "boring" climb please.....thanks in advance! Boring, not greatly imaginitive or exciting... Usual stuff. I'm no great climber - 5.6 is my comfort range. 5.8 on a good day. I've done a 5.10 pitch once in my life. The last climbs I did were the East Ridge of Ingalls, West Ridge of Stuart, Becky Route on Liberty Bell & South Arete of SEWS, Scramble route on Adams, Coleman Glacier on Baker... All in the last 6 weekends or so. Pretty basic weekend warrior stuff. Took last weekend off and climbed into Starbucks. What I mean by 'boring', is - who wants to hear about those routes? I don't! Let's hear some good stuff. There's been some pretty good TR's lately. I may come up with something good next season (hint), but I sure as hell ain't gonna put up a TR for the Becky Route on Liberty Bell! ZZZZzzzZZZZzzzz....

Any mods, admins, isn't it time to relegate this to spray?
