They did show Simon rapping down on a single line in the movie...so it must've been fixed.

You dorks who bag on the game were the ones who used to get stuffed in lockers by the football players.

They'd be all a lot of happier if they moved to Auburn.

The way the new BD packs carry ice axes is pretty dope. For light alpine packs they look like very promising. They're a touch on the "accessorized" side for my taste, but whatever. We set up the new tent in the shop the other day to play around with it...but half an hour later some dude came in and bought it.

Mexican food and dark beer. Period.

Huh...I guess I'm not the only one...

I believe it's a virus that get's resent to people in the affected persons contact list, so it might actually come from someone you know.

Stayed in-bounds at White Pass today (2 fer 1 ) and took my new boards out for the first time. TM-EX's 6-8 inches of untouched snow in the trees. It was a great friggin day.

I just saw the movie for the second time tonight (don't ask), and enjoyed just as much as when I saw it the first time. I'm super glad Hollywood didn't get their claws into the story. It was easily one of the best climbing movies I've seen.

Yeah, they're pricey, but if you're going somewhere butt ass cold and you need 5 working fingers - they're some of the best around. I dig mine.

Looks like I'm heading to White Pass on Monday and cashing in on the 2 for 1 deal

Also...you need two or three different shoes hanging off the back of your pack. That way you have the appropriate footwear for climbing cracks, faces and friction.

Yeeeee haaaaw - I'm mounting my new skis tomorrow

I just got an Airport card for the Powerbook, but I can't connect to the internet at the coffee shop. It's a free hotspot and I can get a signal, but I can't pull anything up on my browser. Anybody got any ideas?

The G-rides have a thermoliner in them - that'll make them warmer than your Degres. Also, if you have those boots sized right, wearing two socks might make them too tight, restricting circulation and actually making them colder. Hey...how's that tent by the way?

Northwest Outdoor Guides would be Scott'teryx's guide service.

"No...it's just ice cream."

I agree. Longer ropes would just cause a bigger cluster%@. Twin 60's are bad enough.

It happens more often than you'd guess. I think there were two fatalities on Rainier last year from cardiac arrest.

I wear orthotics in my shoes, but not in my climbing or skiing boots. Try replacing your orthotics with green Superfeet. I don't think theres enough space in your ski boots to accomodate orthotics, and the shell is not allowing your foot to expand when you put weight on them.

Good shortcut...I never would've thought of that.

The snow was so deep, you wouldn't have been able to walk far, and it would've taken a lot of work. The visibility sucked and he didn't have much backcountry experience. You can wander around back there in those conditions for days pretty easily.

I poo on your thread.
