The secret to living a long life is not living a short life.

You all go to hell, I'm going climbing.

Here, here.

Good odds at ingalls lake, but not a guarantee. Two summers ago, my wife and I camped near the lake and were surrounded by ~ 15 of the critters, including two kids that played king of the boulder 7' outside our tent for about 30 minutes in the middle of the night. I ran up the South Ridge of Ingalls last Tuesday, and didn't see a single goat the whole day.
True. I was there 2 weeks before to climb Stuart, and we saw 2 goats, a nanny and a kid, and that was it. 2 weeks later were there to climb Ingalls, and we were surrounded by them. I think those posers just saw my camera and had to cheeze it up.

I'll second that Ingalls Pass statement. I was up there last weekend, and I took these at Ingalls Basin on the way out of there on Sunday...
Most goats I've ever seen close up in one place.
But like he said, not the closest drive to where you are...

Just headed up there Tuesday.....we downclimbed (walked) to the first rap station at the top of the final class 4 belayed pitch. It's exposed, but more of a walk than a scramble.
I agree. I was there Saturday after doing the East Ridge, and we walked to the rap station from the summit. Note the climber in front. His main concern is not dropping his sammich.
With two 60m ropes, you rap right to the next rap station at the bottom of the 5.4 slabs. From there you rap to just short of the very bottom of the climb, maybe 6 feet of class 4 (if that) from the bottom. The guy in the picture finished his sammich during the first rappel, and is about to finish the second part of the second rap down to the base of the hounds tooths.
-
If you are talking about rapping over the 5.4 slab.....if you have two 60m ropes you can do it in three raps back to your pack.
Two.

She looks to me like a single shot would have been approprate.
TO THE HEAD!!!

Last summer I was scrambling with some Canadians, and they said "Every time we go out with Americans, the topic always eventually gets around to bestiality."

It would be even funnier if they were wearing harnesses. But do they make a harness big enough to fit you-know-who?
Maybe rig up something with slings, like the seatbelt extenders they use on airplanes...

Come to think of it, he might be good to have on a climb in case the group got off route - there would be plenty there to eat for days. My only worry would be that he might eat me first...
I wonder if those aren't photos from a "scrambling" course, rather than the BCC.
Good point - must be, since they're not wearing harnesses. They nearly always have those on at the bcc field trips...

What I'm saying is those pics are not the norm, either. You keep showing pics of the same fat guy. Okay, that's one guy out of one class out of one year, shown repeatedly. Yeah, it is funny, and I wonder if he ever finished the class. I can't imagine him making it to the base of a climb, let alone summiting. But he does make for amusing pics.
-
Okay, true. On the other end of the scale though, I've read trip descriptions in their trip sign-ups that included the statements "must be able to tolerate copious amounts of foul language and un-PC behavior by both genders" and "slow party members will be killed and eaten". Mind you, these are NOT the norm, it is entirely up to the trip leader what goes into the Leader Notes of a trip description, and occasionaly someone with some gusto and some humor says what they feel.

Im going to go get fat on a cruise in AK this weekend.
please post a TR...that should be entertaining....is it a themed cruise? Singles, swingers, gay, retired etc....?
How about single gay retired swingers?
-
The only reason I don't post TRs is that I only do boring climbs.
-
...And I wonder why all my freinds call this site 'cascadewhiners dot com'...
-
yes, but notice the full head of hair on that guy. and the harness!
I also like the woman standing on the rope, grinding dirt through the sheath. Great technique!

Love the beard, too. And the look. He's into it.
