Bug

The newbie who comes here looking for CLIMBING info has to smell the spray. Or leave and never come back. Your tollerance for spray is abnormally high. Look at your post count.

I personally like the site in general. Spray is juvenile and reveals peoples unguarded side. I like that. I don't respect a lot of what is said here tho. It is like farting under the covers and holding your wife under there regardless of her protests. It just doesn't come across as normal and well adjusted. Obviously, that is not the goal. I'm just saying, come back in ten years and read your own posts. You're all a bunch of dickheads. I have met a lot,.....A LOT of people who don't even read the site anymore because of the spray outside of spray. Saying there isn't any is a signal for you to cut back on the RedBull.

How was the koolaid?

Bold or.......... Ivan.

He is out there all right. Interesting how he changes the subject from Poland to the poster's nationality. Then gets all panty twisted when someone else changes the subject. FW. You need to go play poker with some Blackfeet. And after you all get a little drunk, tell them you are a native of America. Maybe you should even say the pledge of allegiance. Dumbass.

The bandits will not stop until someone pops a few. Personally, it is not worth it to me but I do hope there is someone out there who thinks it is. I'll send you cigarette money in jail.

Democrats bad. Republicans good. They will beleive everthing GW says and nothing any Democrat says. The sad truth is, all politicians lie almost constantly.

The whole camera thing is a waste of time and money too. Someone here actually got pics of the villans in action complete with pics of their license plate. The King County Sherrif dept did a big whoppin 0.

Ivan, Post your remaining scheduled climbs for the summer. I want to avoid bad weather.

You've obviously never been in the military. Nope, but I would rebuke anyone who would say "god damn america." Obama it seems would not. Me too. So I take it you have been in the military and all those minority soldiers around you felt like they were getting the same shake in life that you get as a white boy? "Whooee!!! Ah shore am glad I grew up in the ghetto. What a great life this is." God will damn Americans if we continue to horde our treasure and use force to take what we want from other countries. Man up. We are not living up to Christian standards as a country. Especially not when it comes to helping the poor here or abroad. If you can't handle the truth about our failings AND can't tollerate US citizens who point out where we are failing, then you might be happier in a country where people are controlled more completely by their government. Cheers!!

Sorry. I was climbing then working. You probably have not spent much time with minorities. They tend to use strong language when talking about taking it up the ass. America is not perfect. For example, our current president sends our people to get killed in a war that is considered illegal by the rest of the world. He does this based on a sring of lies. He also pardoned a man who was convicted of conspiring to cover up the investigation of an act of treason. A lot of people still think he is an honest man. Now THAT scares me.

I was a level 3 Wilderness Ranger in the Scapegoat Wilderness. There was also a level 4 Wilderness Ranger on the district who liked to point out that the difference between 3 and 4 was that he carried a gun. That mentality permeated his approach to managing the public. Then there is "The Tool" in Leavenworth. Unfortunately, there are more stories like this. It seems that if you flunk the test to get on a real police force you can still get a level 4 law enforcement rating with the Foest Service. You are playing a game. It is not right. Just know that you are probably a lot smarter. Tread lightly and keep smiling.

IS my history correct? Did George senior ad Putin serve as heads of CIA and KGB at the same time?

Oh bullshit. That already happened. We just haven't been informed and re-patriated yet.

Go to page two of Alpine lakes forum and read the last few posts but this is the meat.

Still cool.

C2C from Ingalls would be a hump. The snow will be very soft all the way. The ridge is long and you have to cruise. The descent just keeps going down and going down. Remember the right turn down the gulley at the the black tower (7K?). It will point you straight at the Longs pass trail and save some time. The main trail continues down left and drops you about 1/2 mile downstream of the Longs pass trail.

Guys, This is a young man seeking good info. Try to resist making him sift through the BS.

The waste could be placed at Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada where the feds have spent billions building a complex only to have the state delegation get cold feet. As for uranium, it can be reprocessed multiple times, all the way to bomb-grade and beyond. Then, we simply shape it into a W88. A win-win. Yucca will not solve the Hanford site problems. Nor is there a viable solution for disposing of or storing heavy water that is highly caustic. There will be hell to pay when the Columbia river dies off from the leakage of caustic heavy water and the ocean within 500 miles of its mouth becomes a death zone. Right now a human cannot even walk within 1/2 mile of the "storage facility" without suffering certain death. If you took off at a dead run toward the center, you would be dead before you got there. These little facts are not widely dispersed but ask anyone who grew up in the Tri-Cities about the stories. But who cares right? That is for our great grandchildren to sort out. I'm sure they will be able to move to a new planet. If we took those billions it would take to build new nuclear plants and put it into developing solar or Hydrogen, we would not need centralized energy companies anymore. Oh the horror. What would the stockholders do?

If it is the one I am thinking of, it is up by Como pks. We hiked up the Como lk trail and camped at a lake up a ways (6 or 7 miles). Then we hiked/climbed the banana couloir with sharpened stacks for ice axes (soft snow). The approach was easy trail to moderate talus. No bushwhacking per sey.

Thank you Ronald Reagan for lowering our taxes and introducing user fees up the ass.

Check the weather link in the sticky post in the Rainier forum. The freezing level is at 9000 at night now and moves up to 14500 Friday through Sunday. Any beta you get now will be almost useless in a week. Check the Rainier blog after things freeze up again.

I prefer Rat creek. Start left of the downfall and veer left up and over the obvious cliff band. Then traverse into the basin and move up and left. There is one patch of slide alder to cross 1/2 way up. After that, get up to the base of the cliff and stay on the game trail all the way up.

You totally misreperesented Banks Lake. There was no mention of the rattlesnakes seething out of every crack. Only a slight mention of the ball-bearings encoutered on every route. Licken from lack of use. Local fishermen who would just as soon cut up a 206'er and use em fur bait.

Hey here is a stupid idea. How about driving a smaller high mileage car? Ride you bike more? Walk more? Buy fewer new cars? Turn your thermostat down? Insulate and weather strip? Oh sorry. I forgot. We have a right to be gluttons.
