You mean you didn't know about this important holiday?

Mike, you are a little premature there. Global Orgasm Day is Friday December 22nd. This Friday, say "Oh G.O.D." 8D

OJ did it. Or that kid stuck in the well.

You should have more respect for your relatives, dog boy. I didn't know you were a BASE jumper Steve?

I think all Americans should go and live in a giant underground Walmart. You will be safe in there. It will also do much for reducing the overcrowding of the mountains. You will still be allowed to read our trip reports from the legislated safety of your bunker though. And when the cannibalistic mole people burrow into your bunker and begin the orgy of slaughter, we wil at least consider sending you some MREs or shoe polish or nail clippers or something.

Take the Red Pill, or take the Blue Pill?

Too much Viagra?

So it has more holds but is harder, or did climbers just get weaker?

It's Vantage. Old holds vanish and new holds appear every 5 minutes. Indeed, the slope below the cliff is composed of former holds. And former routes. Some with dummies attached.

Generally speaking I'm not going to be climbing anything steep anyway if avvy hazard is higher than low. I have only taken a beacon once when winter climbing.

Your chances of surviving a crash are much higher at 20 mph than at 70 mph. Why do people drive at the speed limit instead of at 20 mph on major highways?

Needs more Photoshop or less clothing

Hey, I love dolphins. And unicorns.

I still think they should send Worlds Fastest Climber DH and his wonder dog up there to rescue the missing hikers.

In the CDN Rockies people have been heli-longlined off the East Face of Howse... the Cascades don't have anyplace where this wouldn't work

The board is a lot like the real world in that way. Plenty of great people, and plenty of dicks too. It's nice to sort out who you wouldn't mind doing an extended backcountry trip with online before you are stuck in a snow cave with a Donghead who yammers crap 24/7. Welcome to the board. If only the missing climbers had learned to tilt their photos 90 degrees like billchoad... they would have been able to slide down right off the mountain, right

Cold in some places but climbable ice is not much in evidence anywhere we went. There's some ice on Sumallo Bluffs but also about a foot of wet new snow overlying it, that looked very unappealing.

What like Nason Ridge

That was my first guess when I read his "sales" speil in his first post... spam...
