  1. Ford Explorer...? I'm talking: Chevy Avalanche North Face Edition Put me behind the wheel and get the fuck outta my way. I am so extreme and cool you can all kiss my ass. Hey...is that you Allison? [ 04-29-2002, 11:16 PM: Message edited by: Figger Eight ]

    Wrong!

    I've fallen off the top of Spire Rock. Twice.
  3. I believe the two zones on the Muir are the Muir snowfield alpine zone, above Pebble Creek but not quite to Muir. The Muir zone is, well, Camp Muir. Alex has a good plan for your goals - practice on the Nisqually then resupply for the summit. My advice is by-pass Camp Muir and bust straight up to Ingraham Flats. You'll get a headstart on the DC cattle drive in the morning, and there are less people there.
  4. quote: "dead" shoes are great to use for lifting...if you don't have any biomechanical deficiencies in your feet, or if you have flat feet you use arch supports in them. If you are a pronator or supinator and wear 'dead' shoes (without additional support) to squat, lunge, deadlift or any other standing exercise, you're prone to the same injuries sustained if you were to run in them...don't you think Court? Everything else being equal, that's a great idea to get some longevity out of your running shoes. Ideally that's all you'll be using them for.
  5. I vote we take it back to the Swiss...but this debate will rage till Tuesday afternoon so who cares what I say.
  6. dumb.
  7. I saw his slide show last year and was friggin' blown away. He is one of the craziest bastards ever.
  8. quote: if this goes through i am spliting the group and taking the cool people with me to a better bar..........like Greenlake? You're right though, the Elysian sucks...its someplace I'd take my parents. I vote the Alki and $.75 burgers.
  9. Does it come with the hunting permit for 'bilers on Mt. St. Helens?
  10. The Elysian Brewery I'll see ya'll there.
  11. Is that the place that looks like a log cabin, sits up on the side of a hill and you have to walk up a bunch of stairs to get to? If so they have the best calamari I've ever had.
  12. If all else fails, you can stop by the Backcountry Outfitters store in Mt. Vernon and pick their brains. Also see if they have the Mt. Erie guide book there.
  13. That must be one heckuva fake ID nacho...
  14. quote: maybe we dont need to climb every piece of rock in the icicle....."No shit.
  15. I had a friend rearrange the letters from those old Oakley Thermonuclear Protection stickers so it read "Pro Nuclear Erection". Dumbass
  16. quote: Yeah those stickers are for helmets not carsOh sorry Dru...next time I'll check with you to see if it's cool or not...
  17. quote: If you weren't there, dont bother commenting. all to easy to second guess the dead based on the view from your armchair. Yeah...what Dru said.
  18. The stickers I had on my Subaru were from companies that supported programs I'm involved with by donating gear. They supported me...I don't mind showing my appreciation. If you just go to REI and you snatch up a bunch of stickers just to put all over your car, then you're a GUMBY.
  19. How do you fix a leaky dishwasher? Push her closer to the sink.
  20. Even the least bit of moisture in your clothes will suck the heat right out of your body. One of the biggest culprits is wet underwear which'll make your ass get all cold. I stick an extra pair of boxers and socks in my sleeping bag before I pack it which I use just for sleeping in. I haven't been cold since.
  21. I'm fine with people interrupting me and asking questions if they are also there to bust people for throwing pop cans along the side of the trail. As far as fee demo...volunteers should have no authority to enforce that - and I don't think they will in this case. Having more people around to educate the gumbies is not necessarily a bad thing.
  22. I've stuck mine in a top loading washing machine before. It doesn't really ruin the rope, however be ready to spend an hour untangling the mess afterwards. You can get away with washing it in a machine with an agitator if you put it in a pillow case or bag. Front loading machines are the same way. You should run the machine through a rinse cycle before you wash your rope so you can be sure there is no residual detergent in the cylinder. Nikwax makes a good rope wash, I might suggest using an extra rinse cycle also. But like Erik says, handwashing in the tub is a great way to do it too.
