This is a required component of all BC climbs.

Ha, ha. Nope. Vendors simply raise prices to cover the cost of business. And who pays these higher prices? Me! I'm footing the bill for my air miles to Mexico.

Dearest Ania, Yours is a timeless question, one for the ages. And the lovely folks at REI have a solution for this challenge, the Picnic at Ascot Deluxe! Hike into the perfect picnic place--this daypack is loaded with everything you could possibly want for a gourmet outdoor dining experience for four! And if you show your membership (membership has its privileges!), one of the green vested chaps will haul the bloody thing up the side of the mountain for you. You should be glowing from the beauty of the outdoors, not the coarse sweat of labor. - Tom

Is she HOT?

Hey, wait. I know those two gapers.

Gary, beware of your prospective in-laws tactics: My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year when we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, and my friends encouraged me. My girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me. That one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight miniskirts, and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when near me, and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister calls and asks me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she could not overcome and did not really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and could not say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned; I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top, she pulled down her underwear and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house and walked straight toward my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We could not ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!" The moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car. In Gary's case, substitute "thesis advisor" for "little sister".

Cold water makes my nipples hard...and my genitalia an androgynous ambiguity. George: Well I just got back from swimming in the pool. And the water was cold... Jerry: Oh... You mean... shrinkage. George: Yes. Significant shrinkage! Jerry: So you feel you were short changed. George: Yes! I mean, if she thinks that's me she's under a complete misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me. Jerry: Well, so what's the difference? George: What if she discusses it with Jane? Jerry: Oh, she's not gonna tell Jane. George: How do you know? Jerry: Women aren't like us. George: They're worse! They're much worse than us, they talk about everything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage factor? Jerry: No, I'm not gonna tell her about your shrinkage. Besides, I think women know about shrinkage. George: How do women know about shrinkage? (They see Elaine walking down the hall) Elaine! Get! (She enters) Do women know about shrinkage? Elaine: What do you mean, like laundry? George: No. Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards... Elaine: It shrinks? Jerry: Like a frightened turtle! Elaine: Why does it shrink? George: It just does. Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

Michael Jackson?

Have you considered chatting with the folks at the AAI? They might know for sure. Considering the money you're paying them, I'm guessing they can answer a few questions.

On pg 429 under The Rock is Disappearing he says "In a managed environment where public recreation is a major attraction, the climbing experience is increasingly devalued by loss of opportunity and open ambience. A policy of open space is needed."

The dirt lip is an effective sunscreen as well. (subtle intra-thread humor deleted)

And the problem is ?

What time do you open on Sat?

Quit driving.

Shorts over polypro. What a dork.

Annabelle taking a dump.

The true meaning of climbing Denali ... ... marketing opportunities.

The relavance of this to climbing is? Because this is more of a production than a climb.

Unless, of course, if their state voted for W. Then you can build yourself up by making fun of them.

Did you try Marmot in Bellevue?
