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.

Ionic Ogio Performance Pack in brand new condition. Snowboard pack for day trips.

Skis still in plastic. Very light alpine ski. The Axis jr. features an aggressive 16mm sidecut for junior rippers. This is an all-wood core ski. Dimensions: 103/65/91. Sidecut:16mm. Radius: 12m @ 146. Construction: Torsion Box. Features: MOD Technology. Target Performance: Advanced Jr. Size 146cm. These would be a really good light weight back country ski for a small woman. $219 retail on Amazon.

Anything goes! Keep it secret Frodo.

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

Disagree on your way down all you want. So those of us who have climbed with the same signals for decades are expected to "know what you mean" (read girlspeak) when you use gymspeak?! I like your posts n all but this just seems dangerous to me. Sure go over those new signals you came up with. Forget all the tested procedures that most or all of the older climbers have used for decades. Just go with the flow. And when you are all stressed out and yell something barely intelligible that sounds kindof like an old signal that means the opposite of what you need to survive.... It's all dowhill. As I said in another thread, someone is going to die because of this new fangled, "say whatever you want" attitude. It is sad. The old signals are not hap-hazardly derived. I'm not trying to be contentious. This is really going to be the root cause of some deaths.

Let's try to keep things from drifting too far at this point. Not that anything so far is out of line. Just in case survivors and family read this.

DITTO TMI I do that too. Sometimes I don't even leave the couch and I do it. That oil is often Cottonseed oil. It is not regulated by the FDA. It is full of pesticides and other nasty stuff. But it still tastes damn fine. On the snowcave front, beware of smoked oyster farts.

I am experienced and would not have taken my kids skiing in a backpack. Kids' heads are too fragile. 85% of all epileptics have had head injuries. Then there are the necks, and backs etc.

Like I posted in the IceCLimbing forum, By this weekend, the passes are probably going to be ice encrusted!

Uh huh. So the scarf is pink?

Finding crampons that small might be a problem too.

I once spent endless hours pulling head lice eggsacs off the long beautiful hairs of my girlfriend while we were ending our 6 month trip in Mexico. If she would have been just a little less cute, she would still have them. I did nnot have any problems with bug infestations nor mold in my van but then, I took a couple trips a year to the desert. They had to be ready for sub-zero (Montana), damp and wet (Seattle), and hot and dry (Moab).
