The second bolt around the corner on Birds of Paradise is gone now too

Meddle, Animals. One of These Days, or Shine on Crazy Diamond. Pros and Cons is just too friggin' melodramatic for my tastes. Been too long since I've busted out the Floyd, hmmmm.

Is REI the only place to buy a filter?

nice tip!

i always rap to save wear on the chains. but i'm not an ass like lummox

dirt is actully way more cost effective and gives you more leeway on making mistakes during the cycles. the marginal increase in home grow ops for recreational purposes is null. well that is atleast what i have read and shit.... i call bs on that one. twice as fast, twice the yield. but i don't know a damned thing about it, so don't ask me either

agreed, and the little neutralizer tablets work pretty well towards making it taste like water again.

Thanks all. Ursa, I was eying that Mazamas course, inexpensive and open to non-members.

for what it's worth i visited smith for my first time last year labor day weekend, and with the exception of a handful of winter days since, i've never seen it less crowded than that weekend. weird.

So all these accident posts are making me think about my first aid experience (or lack thereof). I've seen a few close calls now (climbing and otherwise) and have been first on the scene for a few potentially bad situations. All of these have turned out well, with good help that was able to respond quickly. But this will not always be the case, and as my climbing progresses, so will the danger for myself and my partners. The thought of being in a serious situation and not knowing what to do would be really hard on me. Arguably it is irresponsible to climb in remote places and not to have some of formal training? I guess I'm wondering what level of training everyone here has, and how it has suited them in real world scenarios. Wilderness First Aid? First Responder? Just CPR? Suggestions on where to get training? Thanks.

it was 44 when i was there fall of 2000. that's a lot of purchasing power room food and beer chang for less than $10/day

except you have to go to "church service" Saturday AND Sunday Ahhhhhmen !

'Cause it scares the living shit out of me

ok, i'll ask, so did they set a date for it to hit the stores?

Make sure it's empty, clean, and packed in checked lugage. Don't ask, don't tell. Last time I flew they took the empty canister but didn't mind the stove (they never saw they pump, which they proably wouldn't like either). For all the flights on the trip after that I didn't say a word, when the counter people asked if I had a stove I sid no, figuring if they found it I'd just tell them I assumed they meant a gas canister. At the checked luggage security stations we went through (the new federal peeps) they saw the stove but didn't care. I think the airlines themselves see the greatest liability, the security people don't see it as a risk. Of course they are fully in their right to keep you from flying with them. Have fun, good luck.

yikes!

Ah, Dorothy Parker.

Bummer about the leg, but that was a great storey! I'm a little teapot! Hope you heal up fine.

What's Afghanistan???

or just pocket rockets?

I saw some up there last weekend but don't tell the girls I was hiking with

FREE ice cream??? T'ain't free.

I think Berbati's might be the worst place in PDX to see a show. At least it's the worst place I've ever seen a show in PDX.

yes, they have ice cream, never done the tour, but i've had their ice cream there.

another reason the autobahn wouldn't work here is because we don't grade or maintain our roads for shit here. imagine driving 100 mph on I5. i can think of many places that would toss anything but a high performance car right off the road or cause a flat.
