I was on Colchuck last weekend and there was still plenty of snow on the south side up high. Colchuck is a mile or so east and north of Stuart but Stuart gets a lot of the same kind of weather. Dragontail, Colchuck and Stuart's tops were all in the clouds most of the weekend. Expect some deep snow up high.

I dunno man. It all kind of blurrs together. It was 84. I was living in Missoula and going to college.

We are all dying and just want a few hints at what it will be like.

So Sad. RIP.

Well, to each his own. But I chose not to climb Rainier in these conditions due to the buildup of snow with no significant consolidation period. But I am a lightweight.

On the news this morning, people were calling in from Salem to Bellingham who had seen a bright flash and a firey ball descending. The one from Salem said it was greenish. The one from Duvall said it was yellowish orange. Both said it took about three seconds to disappear. That suggests it was moving pretty slow realative to a meteor. When I saw a Russian sattellite came down in 84, it was purple and flaming. Other people who were not on drugs concurred.

i am uncomfortable with your presumed familiarity with me. i request that you refrain from using sexual innuendos in my presence. failure to provide the appropriate level of respect in the workplace may result in termination of your employment. asshole. No familiarity or sexual innuendos intended. Threat duely noted. Goodbye.

Space aliens? How's your butt?

Did anyone see or hear the meteor? It woke me up. I walked around the house trying to figure out what had exploded. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/aplocal_story.asp?category=6420&slug=WA%20Meteor

Good assessment except, steepness below is more like 45-55 with steep parts being pretty short. Watch out for avalanches from high on the route if there is any significant warming. That deep sugar snow will not take much stress.

This sounds interesting. I did not get past 5.10 until I discovered Zen - the discipline of clearing the mind of all extraneous thought allowing the inner being to flow through any trial or endevor. It is what StarWars called "The Force". Tibetan Bhudists call it Chi Ghong. Climbers were using the technique centuries before C4 rubber.

What "WE" are YOU talking about?! Speak for yourself. Especially if you are not even going to address the question.

My ex-wife is nicer than you.

OOOH BAAAABY!

Cool history project. Thanks.

No wonder I felt like I was sleeping 6' off the ground surrounded by nubile women dressed only in palm fronds. Uh huh. Those were the same kangaroo mice that chewed a hole in my pack. Wow, looks like I really missed out! Serves me right for bailing Besides all the debauchery, Greg was eating elk which ends up scortching the greenery for a 30' radius. Luckily, we only took a tent fly so there were no concentrations capable of causing an explosion.

Dung beetle. Consider the surroundings.

What did you think was in that tea?

Cool. Thanks!

Neighbors had a Brittney spaniel for five years. Nicest dog you would ever meet. Until it turned on their three-year-old and tore the right side of her face off. My wife got to drive her and her hysterical mother to the hospital. Nice doggy. Two years ago, I was giving my daughter a piggy-back ride in Marymoor park when a big wolfy looking dog came running at us snarling and baring it's teeth and dragging a leash. If I would have had a gun, that dog would definately be dead right now. As it was, I had to kick him off once with my daughter screaming before the asshole owner managed to grab the leash. He apologized profusely but couldn't understand why I was still upset. Death by dog or death by gun, especially when it is my daughter's death, looks pretty much the same. If you can't support carrying guns, how do you support having big dogs?

I tried that. Or at least tried to try that. Maybe it doesn't work in edit mode. Anyway, I've spent too much time on it already.

OK. I tried several different combinations and still can't get the damn images to show. The pictures are in the gallery.
