That's actually a pretty bad photoshop job. A guy in our lab is working on much better results. For example, http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/assem/ed.png

Decadent is babaganouj.

I'll post something in the next few days. Sooner if you can divert my eyeballs from staring at the beautiful contour lines on the map of Jostedalsbreen in front of me.

Today I'm wearing a green polo shirt, green polypro tights, and green shorts.

Will's show is going to rock, and I'll offer to buy the second pitcher!

Sweet, ToTheTop hooked me up with a cool book, and the UW Library has 1:100000 maps! This trip is gonna rock!

I'll get there late... hopefully by 9:00? Our trio's got a gig before then.

The snow on the upper part of the mountain was plab! Thanks for a great trip and great pics, Dave! I'll put up some pics later...

I can't wait till the DVD comes out. The soundtrack's theme had a cello solo, and I didn't manage to keep the tune in memory before I got back home.

I got 38%.

The third pitch of HoC is 10a. It's a little funky and off-balance gaining the start of the handcrack proper, but then it's sweet. The 11a part is the thinner (ring jams for me) crack that goes from the anchor at the top of HoC to the anchor at the top of G-M. It still doesn't feel 5.11a though.

Sounds like an MI or CVA? --------------------------------------------------- TROUTDALE -- A man who passed out while rock climbing at Lewis and Clark State Park Thursday died despite efforts to resuscitate him, authorities said. An ambulance and other vehicles stand near a climber who suffered a medical emergency at Lewis and Clark State Park. (Sky-8 photo) Paramedics performed CPR for about an hour and a half on the climber, whose name and age haven't yet been released, said Lt. Mike Shults, spokesman for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Three men had been climbing Broughton's Bluff Thursday morning. The climber who died was on top of the bluff and the other two men were climbing up towards him when he went limp in his harness and fell off the rock, restrained by safety lines. The two others in the climbing party lowered him to the ground, and another man called for help, Shults said. A search and rescue team received the call at about 11:30 a.m. It was unclear what kind of specific medical emergency the climber suffered. It could have been a heart-attack, Shults said. Also Online Sky-8 aerials of the accident scene Multnomah County detectives were interviewing witnesses at the scene, he said. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. Lewis and Clark State Park borders the Sandy River along I-84, just east of Troutdale.

Total or as a %? See the 1890s and 1930s for reference. Neither.

So what's the enchainment?

Kong has some keylock oval lockers. BD has the positron keylock locker. Petzl has the Attache and the HMS that are both keylock, I believe.

Dan -: I got a speed ascent of Jen Garner! Here is my photographic evidence, taken in the dark. As you can see, pictures of all black, proof that I got a speed ascent of Jen Garner! All other speed ascents by everyone else are unverified and full of lies and misleading statements. For example, Chad's speed ascent is not valid because there was cached gear [she wasn't wearing underwear beneath her dress]. I keep on asking Chad for the details of his speed ascent, but for some reason, he won't tell me.

The route needs to avalanche before it is in again.

I can't believe there's no mention of bushwhacking...

That's because in your first year, you were busy with all the "Kaia topless at VW" posts on climbers@u.

I carry two pairs of latex gloves in my first-aid kit but not a CPR mask.

... two middle-aged ladies with definite Mountie potential. The belayer was using belay gloves in the gym. Not only that, she was belaying with a grigri.

Who's going where? Sounds like a bunch of folks are resort skiing. We're heading up to Heather/Skyline Ridge.

I guess I come from a different background than most people. My mom was a housewife (so I guess she's a retired housewife now? ), but she was nonetheless feminist. I can still remember how furious she was when the "Math is hard; let's go shopping" Barbie came out.
