I am slogging a peak in the i90 corridor this eveing and tomorrow morning. I get off work at 5 and will head out. I am not good company but at least I am not a Republican. So far I am going solo. Avy conditions may cut things short but I need to get out.

As I remember reading, Africa did not go well at first. When our troops moved to Italy, they were successful thanks in large part to the 10th mountain division, but when we started moving north, the African troops were given a rest and some were redeployed after the rest period.

High Density or high oil consumption. Take your pick.

Doug is listed as the Chair of Seattle Mountain Rescue.

Very weak spray.

Stuntmen are aid.

Cool. Time to get my slackline out of storage.

I know two of Seattle's recent City Council members and they worked hard to avoid this debacle. But they would have found themselves being targeted for being "against providing public toilets for the homeless". The Seattle and King county gov is insanely corrupt. Look at RTA. $1,000,000,000.00 spent and no stone moved. That's one hell of a lot of "studying the issue". Or outright criminal fraud in Gov. Nichols and Simms are the fat-cats in the posh office doing whatever gets their friends and themselves the highest profit. I hate Rossi for his anti-education record but I am very tempted to vote for him just to encourage a house cleaning.

I'm not dead. I just experimented with a new deodorant.

How to train a cat to stay off the counter; lay out a bunch of short pieces of tape sticky side up. Put a can of cat food on the counter. 4. Sit back and enjoy the show!

"The office of District Justice Michael John Smith, where Bradford and Connor were arraigned, said they were not represented by lawyers. Telephone listings for them could not be located." Yeah, I want her phone number too.

Kip, If you aren't to stoned to remember you already asked a very similar question about colleges earlier this winter. Further this topic has been discussed many other times and I am pretty sure you know where the Missoula section is on Rc.com and mountainproject.com. Think of it this way Missoula=300+days of Fog a year Bozeman=300+ days of sunshine each year There are no rules against asking repeat questions. There are also no rules about being rude. What ever the case, the 300 rule is fairly accurate. But you break out above the fog at +1400 which is pretty easy to do around Missoula. The only real advantage Missoula has is the density of excellent rock climbing.

Dude, yur dissin some kick-ass growers.

Nope. But I admire your narcissism.

Holy shit! Women can parallel park!!! When did this happen? Only in a parallel universe.

He had the audacity to present his decisions in an honest way. He chose NOT to lose his life in the effort to extract the tourists. In so doing, he was the last hope for those who were still out flapping in the breeze. He got roasted in Krackower's book and the US media continued the cold war hangover.

Oh boy. I will not go there, I will not go there.... There is a combination of fabric stretch and metal fatigue that definately allows for the whole thing to sag in the middle after awhile. This is especially true when used a lot in very hot conditions.

Fine. The slings are probably there because the chains are so short. Rope drag when pulling the rope over that course rock might be a big problem. NOW STOP YANKIN MY CHAIN!

What is the carbon content of the steel used in the chain or chains? Were the bolt holes drilled deep enough or were they being pushed out by freeze-thaw? Were those your grandma's hosery? Dudes, it was a rock climb. He took pictures. We all got to see them. Nice work!

One story about a partner of mine that could have killed us both. We were on an adventure climb in Blodgett and I had run a full rope up a pitch and was down to 3 peices. None of them fit well but one was at least manky. My last good piece was to the side about 4 feet, just out of my reach. Ricky came up to that piece and I told him to stop there and hand me a few more peices as my anchor was mank. He chose to ignore this request, pulled the only bomber piece left, and traversed over to me unscathed. It took me about 1/100th of a second to locate the right piece on his harness and plug it into a crack. It was when he looked at my manky anchor that he understood. We climbed together for many years after. Our communications were better. But you cannot always plan for everything. So part of that "special bond" is knowing each other's tone and habits.

I used to wear a helmet to protect me from my mentor's slaps on the back of the head.

I was not there so please don't take this as an accusation. Delivery is everything. There are too many attitudes on this site and they are prevalent in most macho sports. So when someone comes up to me with an attitude or even the hint of one, I bristle a little. If someone comes up to me with a very friendly tone and offers help, I may STILL bristle a little but be more willing to listen if they are offerig me usolicited advice. Someone who has no idea who you are might have a little trouble accepting that you are right by default. I would have gone to the top to recover my gear and yelled down to her that hers had failed and I was about to take mine out and would she like to come and look at it? I would be firm but try to be very friendly and I would explain to her that if I had not backed up her gear she would have fallen to her death. If she still cops an attitude I would be likely to mess with her head a little. You may have done all this in which case, I will stfu.

OK, now wait a minute. That "pee all over" thing is just as bad with girls. It's just that it goes spraying out the front under the seat. I have seen the evidence. So while we men might miss "a little", at least we are further away. What's your excuse?
