I found a lot of good stuff on the web...including the thread from last year on this site. Check some of the Denali guides' sites for a decent gear checklist.

Brought my skis up there this last weekend. Didn't bother taking them to the summit - too suncupped. The snow below to the treeline wasn't too bad, though. It's a lot of carrying skis for not a whole lot of skiing.

No shit. It's cuz the French (and Euro's for that matter) are pissed that an American is crushing them at their own game for the sixth straight year. Imagine a French football team coming over and winning the Super Bowl six straight times.

27.5 - officially overweight. SWEET!

ummm...and have all those people who are ahead of you on Beckey Route rappelling on top of you? Sweet!

I second that. Unless she's one of those super needy types. Then break up with her.

STP (two days) with a couple of great friends. It was friggin' hot today - otherwise super fun.

turn-off to W. Side Road is a good spot. They don't want you to sleep in the parking lot cuz they'd rather you spend money at the campground.

Happy Birthday to you. You live in a zoo. You look like a Monkey, and you smell like one too. Happy Birthday, Muffy!

Here's to you, Cracked!!

Shit...I'd go climbing with you if my joints didn't ache all the time...my arthritis didn't flare up...my hemerrhoids weren't bugging me...and my walker ain't in the shop.

You're quite the renaissance man, aren't you.

Exactly. When I sell something that isn't so common (like a #5 Camalot) I'll ask where they're taking it, too. Just curiosity on my part. Ya'll are paranoid.

This seems to support your argument

Ummmm...so why were you cruising the dude ads on Craigslist...? Just wondering...

I've always had a good experience when I've shopped there. I guess some people expect the same kind've treatment they get when they shop for their tassled loafers at Nordstroms.

Please provide gps coordinates for each belay station. And a locker at the base of the route so I can secure my wallet and keys.

Pretty pics from the Rainier trip.

Pretty much.

I'm bringing the brass knuckles and baseball bat.

Super sad That's a helluva place to get hit by rockfall.

I think Heras is the guy to watch this year. I think he'll make it pretty interesting.

Yeah...its kinda spooky sometimes to see how thin the bottom link is on some of the chain anchors at some crags because of the groove worn into them from repeated lowers and topropes.
