Ping the BLM all you want but it is the locals who have to organize and there probably isn't much of a tax base to support a rescue when the whole area is desperate for water and numerous other growth related problems. Just assume you are going alpine and alone.

Ha! So I have found the secret meeting room of the cc.com elite?

So is Dante's Thursday now toast?

Well, it wasn't me. I was in Redmond celebrating my youngest's 10th birthday. But we did each rip one in your honor Mike. Happy trails!

Uh, can I borrow them first?

I would not tele in area. It makes no sense. Tele is for getting out and about, away from the crowds and smells and noise. It is very efficient to wax up (East side) and get a good glide going and then without hesitating, rip a few linked turns for the downside.

Glad you're back in form Feck.

That must have hurt with crampons on. Badda-boomp

You have to catch me first.

Hey Feck, Tele skiing rocks. There is no more efficient way to ski mountaineer. You are now too old to learn tho. Too bad you missed out on such a great ride!

Wow! Do you wear other people's brand new underwear and put it back in their drawer too? I am surprised at you Ken.

Cool. Sorry I missed it. But now I know SharePoint Server.

I'm out. Class is Sunday.

Watch out for avalanches.

There is a Hiker site somewhere. NNW hikers

And I thought all the dickheads and dildos were on this board. Sheesh. Where is Darwin when these people are driving down the road with a dog in their lap and talking on a cell phone??

Start them with Hot Chocolate. Then Alpine skiing. It is the hardest to learn and if they do not start there, they will probably never do it well.

If that were true, you would have stopped posting a long time ago.

Back in Montana, if someone climbed "MY" line, I moved over to the next one. Course, I shot the bastard first.

Stand still will ya? If you work all day on a post and I come along and read it and think it is worth steeling and post it as my own, is my ego bigger than yours? Who pissed on the landscape? The worker or the opportunist? NOTHING about climbing is for the public good. It is about personal pleasure however that is measured. No one really cares about how well you climb uless they want you to be a rope gun so they can get better. Like you said, lets call it what it is. Or we could say the glass is half full and those who work hard to put up good routes that lots of other people enjoy are doing the public (limited to the climbing public of course) a favor. Steeling their little moment in the sun is not honorable.

Stand still will ya?

There are so many people who will "steal" your line. Why would you tell anybody? My guess is that we are talking about someplace very visible. Smith or Index vs Something on LongJohn Tower or deep in Renton. In this case, I thought there was "local consensus" and Policing decided on in another thread.

I will go if my class is on Sat. I will find out this afternoon.

Anything goes! Keep it secret Frodo.

Probably not. I'm annoying. Death by climbing is the real bummer.
