Is that all that is left of the snow at Big 4? damn, I haven't been up there for probably 15 years and there was a lot more than that last time I was there. 30 years ago the snow was most of the way up the wall even at the end of the summer.

Normal force on a 45 degree wall is 45 degrees, In other words it is the force going straight into the wall, not towards the ground. Wearing a bag of rocks won't help because it will just add more force into the ground not normal to the wall. you want normal force not tangential force. To add more force normal to the surface, you may have to undercling or stem off of something so that the force pushes into the wall.

Clothes are aid.

I liked katherine finds an edge. It is in the suppliment book. just uphill from dancer and jete. It goes right up the ridge from asterix pass. It is an easy 5.7ish climb with more exposure than most climbs since you can see both sides of the ridge. If you want to TR use lots of directionals because if you just lower off you end up near the top of dancer.

No Grigri's?? VW uses Grigri's.

Comcast has been fucked in Federal Way also.

Amusing. I would never consider Baseball players great athletes.

We went through last month in our Windstar. No problem. One rough section with a small creek flowing accross. If you have lowered your car it would be a problem. There were pleanty of cars with lower clearance than ours at the trailhead.

Nothing stronger than over the counter stuff like Tylenol. So basically, no. Tyler is the Man!

That is Tyler Hamilton! He is American. He is the next in line for American dominance after Lance retires. Come on! Don't you know your american riders by site.

high speed accross a field in a road bike with 18mm tires is an advantage? Considering the fact that he lost time on that manouver, I wouldn't call it cheating.

Now that you have lost your virginity Trask you will find out that most of us don't bother bragging about getting laid in the morning.

Oly is cool. We lived there for 6 years. It is a little skitzo because of the contrast between the legislators and the 'greeners. Very PC.

"Waiting for the Interurban" the Aurora bridge and just a peek of the Cascades.

Also, what type of protection they are using.

Well, shit. It seems that basecamp is the only one that carries the book and they will not be open on the 4th when we will be going through b'ham. REI doesn't have it.

What is the guide book for the area? Does anyone know if anyone in the Seattle area carries it?

We will be staying in Glacier over the 4th and I am looking for a place to climb. I will have the family with me so we would like a place we could rig a top rope. We can handle routes up to about 10a. Does anyone know of any walls that have sort top ropable routes?

You need to post more nude pics!

Looks like all the regular sprayers are out climbing. I am just trying to put together my tick list for Smith this weekend.

Nothing feels as good as sinking a nut in a wet crack.

If onset time was 6 hours, it wasn't that trip. Giardia take over a week from ingestion to symtoms.

I got a 37 also finally. It is definitly doable if you have the time to waste. It is not something to be proud of. I figure 50 to 100 more games and I could get down to around 34.

I have a couple of 40's, each time I fuck up one hole that blows a really low score.

Then I will say it for you. Fuck the Pigs. That is the biggest crock of shit I have heard in a long time. Giving a bike a ticket for not wearing their helmut on a fucking bike path is retarded. I don't know, two of my worst accidents on a road bike were on the BG trail. One time a woman with earphones on didn't hear my call and turned right from the left sholder of the trail, the other some dude was admiring the view and right as I approached he picked up his bike, placed accross the trail so he could cross. I don't think bike riding gets much more dangerous than the BG.
