Deception Crack is a one-move wonder. Classic Crack is short. The crux pitch on Outer Space is sustained.

And I didn't inhale.

I think Tomtom was trying to break the "slowest party on route" record. But did he have third-party witnesses and timers?

Liar.

Oh, that was you! We were looking at party through binoculars from the Snow Lake Trail and were wondering how the hell someone could get off-route on pitch 5! Well, apparently, it can be done.

I'm walking down the sidewalk. Walking the other way are two fatasses, basically taking up the entire sidewalk. I manage t squeeze through them, and when I had gotten about ten feet past them, one of them yells angrily at me, "You should yell 'Excuse me!'" I yell back, "You should walk single-file." They yell back, "Excuse me?" I yell back, "Thank you!" Aware that they have been served, they yell back, very distraught, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" And I dart off around the corner.

What's wrong with googling someone prior to a date? I assume you check out the webpage of a company before interviewing for a job there?

All I could dig up on Cory was some pics from Denali and Cory's phone number and address.

Don't blame Ed. Blame the media for how they're portraying things. He's one of five to have done all 14 without supp O2, and that's a hell of an accomplishment.

I google and expect to be googled.

For some reason I can't post on Events. The UWCC Picnic is today at the UW Rock going from 4:30 till however long it lasts (probably at least 7:00 PM). Everyone is invited, though priority for free food is for club members or other friends of the club. Chances are there will be some free food for you to munch on though!

Smoot describes it scornfully as being bolted for convenience. But when I rapped down from George and Martha, I didn't see any bolts or any obvious scars (but I wasn't looking too hard). Anyone know the history?

Yesterday I took my parents to Vantage (hi CBS). My mom, who's never really climbed before (aside from talus-hopping), climbed The Uprising (5.7). She wanted to give up halfway, but I coached her and encouraged her, and she did it! Cheers to the middle-aged lady next to us who was encouraging her too!

A friend of mine was paging through a bridal magazine while helping a friend plan her wedding. She noticed the ad and knew instantly that I'd get a kick out of it. Sorry there's nothing juicier.

And a laptop. I also have paper plates and could pick up charcoal from Safeway. But I do need a ride if I am to transport stuff.

The screen I have is larger. I should be able to arrange for a ride...

Matt, do you have a screen? I can get one, but then I'll need to arrange transportation for the screen, so I'd prefer if someone else can handle that.

1024x768 JPG, but not required. Anything smaller will look grainy, and anything larger will be slower. Obviously don't show up with 20Meg TIFFs. As long as filesizes are not more than a few megs and the file format is standard, things should be fine.

I can bring a digital projector. But I'd like to have fun, not just be AV tool. So the rules will be simple: You bring a CD with your pics in a folder. We'll play the pics in alphabetical order from the folder using Irfanview on my laptop. I'm not providing any other assistance. If you're fumbling around too much, you'll be sidelined in favor of someone else who can show pictures more smoothly.

That was great stuff!

A big problem is now you have strength reductions at every single piece due to the clove hitches. And I'm not entirely convinced that each strand of the clove hitch will be loaded symmetrically. So now you need to go ask yourself what strength cord you're using and does a 30% reduction in strength still afford you a comfortable margin of safety?

It's Tuesday, 7:00 PM. Tickets are $8 from FF or 2nd Ascent, $10 at door.

In the Seattle area, you can buy tix in advance for $8 from FF or 2nd Ascent, or $10 at the door.

In my WFR class, they recommended taking along some pretzels. Apparently back in the day, the rangers at Grand Canyon NP were unaware of hyponatremia and would treat all cases of heat/exertional illness with water, with sometimes disastrous consequences. WMI worked with them to increase education for both the rangers and the users. The best way to differentiate dehydration from hyponatremia is patient history. Ask them about their water intake and about their urine output.
