That's ok, this shit is worth getting bent out of shape over.

PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999 BITCH!!!!!!!!!!

Saw it last night, very sad, the mother reading her sons' last letter almost made me cry. If you haven't seen it yet, go. The quote from George Orwells' 1984 at the end was perfict.

BOMBS AWAY!

Nice to see your still around.

It might be a nice pic if it wasn't supersized.

7/4 weekend only, taken by you. St Helens from Adams

Beck makes a turn, note way old school pole baskets. He was the only one I saw with leather boots.

Climb: MT Adams-South Spur Date of Climb: 7/4/2004 Trip Report: Beck and I drove down Saturday night, met 2 of his friends at the parking lot. Had a quick dinner and went to bed. I was kinda wound up so I was wide awake at 3 AM when his friends got up. Hit the trail at 4 and met 3 other people who had camped at the Round The Mountain trail junction. They wandered on to the trail just as we were passing by. We now had a group of 7. It had been a cold night so the snow was very hard. My crampons won’t fit my ski boots so I got by with ski crampons and skins. Took a nice long break at Lunch Counter and then headed for the top. Started skinning then booted it the rest of the way in the nice boot track. When we got to the false summit we decided to ski the South Spur instead of the SW Chutes because we didn’t think they would soften up till late afternoon. We could see people skiing very slowly and carefully down them. Some of our group decided to go for the real summit, however, it was icy and blowing so I was happy to hang out in the shelter of the rocks and BS with the other people hanging out and waiting for the snow to soften up. The snow was kinda funky for the first few hundred feet but from there on down it was awesome corn. Nice steeps on the Crescent Glacier. We stretched out the skiing as far as we could dodging rock and trees at the bottom. I thought 4 AM was way to early to start, but with a group of 7 with quite a difference in abilities it was a good idea. It was nice to watch the sunrise and sit around and enjoy the views while waiting. Quote of the day from a 68 year old tele dude from Cali: “I just fallow the snow”. He was awesome! Gear Notes: Need to get crampons that fit my ski boots Approach Notes: Road 23 over the Dark Divide has been graded and is fairly smooth. No style points for this turn! St Hellens in the early morning light.

My computer is a Microsuck free zone.

Take note: many people get sick at picnics because the food sits out. Keep food either hot or cold to prevent bacteria groth. Have a great 4th!

THIS IS SICK!!! http://mtbr.com/gdr/

Great TR...truly a new level of insanity! We will do anything for a few turns! We need another mini ice age like in the 1500s.

This is the only time of year I wish I had cable TV.

Dave Page is good for boots but when it come to rock shoes he is a butcher.

We skied the Frying Pan yesterday. Good sloging conditions. Snow starts at Summerland. Snow is very firm on the glacier.

We are thinking of doing an overnight trip next weekind and I have a few ?s Is the road to Mowich Lake open? Has anyone out there skied the Russel? Comments? Beta? Does anyone want to go with us? We are not "extreme" skiers. We just want to do turns, no sumit atempt.

Climb: Mt Rainier-Frying Pan Clacier Date of Climb: 6/27/2004 Trip Report: Beck and I got about !/2 the way up the glacier before turning around because of clouds and time. Saw only 6 hikers and one other skier. Get it now before the snow below the glacire melts. The glacier is not steep enough to be mech fun but well worth it for the views. The slopes down from the glacier to Summerland have some nice steep sections and are a blast! Gear Notes: Tele and rando Approach Notes: Easy trail

Great TR!

You made this mornings PI!

So your a realtor now? Far out!

What an epic! Hi! The guidebook saga continues. I was already to give the guide to the new printer/binder three weeks ago but a problem came up. We could not open the CD which has all the guidebook information. It is in Mircosoft Publisher and my friend Jay has use it to put it in book form. I believe we have the problem solved, hopefully. The good news is I've been working on new routes especially multi-pitch ones. We have a short 4-pitch route call YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP DANCIN'. I've climbed it three times and it should become popular. (5.9,5.8,5.8.5.8 - 16bolts and gear) I just finished a route on Snag Buttress, the easiest sport climb there, a 5.10a. It has excellent, gritty rock with nice exposure. My big project is up the east side of the headwall, which looks intimidating, but should go. It will be 3-pitches and probably around 180 feet in length. Anyway, I appreciate your interest in this guide and patience. It's been 4 1/2 years since I started work on it; I want it finished. Dallas
