That's speedy Thanks for the cool TR!

Wow...thanks for the heads up. I'll be in So Cal next week - I'll definitely try to make it.

If you're gonna be doing a lot of top roping and cragging, I might suggest going with a thicker rope (10.2 or 10.5) It'll last longer and withstand a bit more abuse.

DOMS doesn't include localized swelling at a joint. You might be dealing with an injury

Depends on the kind of cycling you do. It's harder to maintain a consistent heart rate riding a bike because you end up doing a lot of coasting and easy spinning. If you can find a big long hill that takes an hour to climb up, you can get a pretty decent workout, but I've found it takes at least a couple of hours to get a good cardio workout on a road bike on the flats. Mountain biking is better.

It's a fun route. The walk up the scree cone sucks though!

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.

ME ME ME!

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.
