Say huh? I'm talking skiing here. Or SW Chutes? Last chance for turns!

Friday.

Yeah the sky in Portland yesterday eve was a trip! Nice pic!

w00t! Nice pics. So the road to Cloud Cap is open?

doh!

anyone for tonight?

WTF I thought coffee was good for you???

I'd be a little disappointed if money can't buy you freedom anymore. I mean, this is America right???

Well shit, doc says no more running, I have advanced osteoarthritis, and I'm not even 30. Phuk. So I'll be climbing again, lots. Stay tuned

Looks like it'll stay dry tonight... anyone up for a few hours at the Butte?

Where? Dunno exactly but I've seen him a good half dozen times in the past few months, late afternoon while trail running. Mostly on Leif Ericson if I recall, trusty Fido by his side. I always just flash a big shit-eatin' grin, laugh and carry on.

Mr Fido is now training for the first pirate speed ascent of Rainier. You can find him almost any eve in Forest Park, eyepatch and all. Argh, matey!

There's a huge network of tunnels connecting the entire campus of the school I went to on the east coast, probably some 10+ miles of tunnels and odd storage rooms. It was almost entirely closed off somewhere back in the 50s but with some crude homemade lockpicking tools (and in one instance, a crowbar) access could be had. The neat part was the history of all the crap that went down in there during the sixties, crazy graffiti, sculptures, etc in some of the weirdest places. All left over from when LSD was not yet illegal and when the school had one of the top chemistry programs in the country. Good times.

Ja ja ja, mach schnell mit der art things, huh? I must get back to Dancecentrum in Struttgart in time to see Kraftwerk.

Bastards! There was quite the hubbub in Portland the other night, some guy caught a tweaker red handed breaking into his car - so he shot him. Cops and dogs all over looking for the guy who got shot after he took off running.

People who don't wear seatbelts are stupid. Seatbelt laws are stupid.

Work? Work at KATU?

I cannot think of a worse way to spend my time.

I doubt this will lead to any type of tour to the top. I think it's kind of cool in a way, they're just after some arbitrary record, just like anyone else who climbs Everest. Didn't know choppers could fly so high, dang!

I had never aided anything first time I climbed it. Two aiders, one diasy, must have looked kinda funny. Anyways it's nothing to worry about, you'll figure it out. Nolses right, second aiding will save a ton of time, and the West Face Variation (#13a in Watts book, not grade) is saweeeeet!

Dude, if you are bleeding from the ear, you should see a doc...

Hey Katy nice meeting you on Saturday. Always looking for more folks to climb with, drop a note when you get to town.

So is the cost!
