when I was at the Big O the waitress grabbed my friend's (he is half asian) face and said things such as "are you sure which border you came across?" and "we didn't have to let all you canadians in". and when he told her that she was being offensive she said "no it's all rightm most of our kitchen staff are mexican". Quality establishment

ha. this is so Oregon. I never heard of biscuit gravy until I went to the Big O.
myself wedged in a chimney ("backed up" to a loose root in the dirt at the back) directly under some big creaky blocks that my partner had to pull on and around while the only gear between us was an RP. fun! ... I will go back sometime. Anybody like a dirty chimney climb?

if you're referring to some unimog again you've got it all wrong. A Ford F-350 with mudslingers or similar makes this picture.
Stickers of famous Nascar numbers on the back and a mirror-polished rear differential are brownie points.
the unimog is snoboy's not mine. I got my own wheels.

which is probably one reason why there doesn't seem to be any major shift to 4-Strokes.
a couple of years ago 99-North had an article about sledding across the Powdercap traverse, and the last paragraph had the (completely sincere) 'tip' that you should be sure to bring a cellphone and a large-limit credit card in case you run out of gas and need a helicopter to come get you
David Persson and Alexander Fuglesang had all their gear stolen out of their car after doing a new route on Ossa a few months before David died on rainier.
David named it 'Odin's Ice' in a punning reference to a nordic legend of Odin sacrificing one of his eyes ('is' in norwegian) in return for the gift of the runes. Their sacrifice was their gear in return for scooping a cool new line.
the stanleyburger is too hard for a toproping gaper like me. did I carry that pack up the whole climb? ... what for?
I have worn holes in the ass of 2 pairs of carhartts
