YEEHAW! Thanks for sharing. Remember to post pictures when you get them. Great trip report! (except for the "checked Hood off in the book" part). There are other interesting routes on the mountain and the North Face will likely be very different should you ever choose to repeat it. Thanks!

The most recent R&I has a picture (taken by our own AlpineDave) of the IB route with Priess' route drawn in, as well as a letter from Preiss describing his route. Preiss also has a letter to the editor in Alpinist 8 making fun of the holier-than-thou attitude of Twight & House.

Great report! Thanks Mark. Sorry to hear about the pack.

A friend of mine is going to try the first winter ascent of a cascade peak tomorrow.

Mr.E does not have the software nor the wizardry to create such a masterpiece.

Explain please?

This was most likely a mountain lion. Check THIS WEBSITE and listen to the cougar and bobcat sounds (try "cougar6") to see if you can find a match.

We spent one day bouldering at the Buttermilks:

We're back you moss-infested, web-footed, PNW-livin'-forest trolls! I've got flip-flop tan lines on my feet! YEAH FOR ME!!! HAHAHAHA. p.s. The climbing was ver gut. Blue skies, warm granite (or quartz monzonite, whatever ), and funky-ass trees:

According to Shane MacGowan (the undisputed expert on personal hygeine) the correct sequence is: A shit, a shave, a shower, and a half a' pint of Powers. Cheers Beyotches!

It's chilly and a little breezy tonight. I be freezin' my nizzzuts off! Really nice during the day though. We got a little "off w00t" today.

Dru, Hallucination Engine ___________________________ Well I'm wilder than her what else can I say I guess that's why she fell in love with me She's a house on fire She's got all those charms I'm a house on fire, too But I got four alarms And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her When we go drivin' in our cars Racing through the night She can drive as fast as me But she stops at all the lights She says it's 'cause I'm crazy And she's probably right But I think that the reason is that I'm twice as wild And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her But when she takes my hand And she looks me in the eye I see something that I've never seen in my life She takes the fire And turns it down low She takes the night And makes it not so cold She takes the distance And breaks it into miles She makes my life just a little less wild And I'm wilder than her And it drives her out of her mind I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind But she's a summer storm And I'm a hurricane One just blows through town One blows the town away And I'm wilder than her

This guy found the tree. Interesting trip report. Apparently the tree died <--Click! This picture from 1998, original album art 1986 (damn, I'm old).

It doesn't look like this:

I have a complete set of BD/WC stoppers found one piece at a time. Damn! You lucky.

As someone said recently, "I kid because I love". Peace to the big boys. p.s. Hey Off_Route, Welcome to cascadesprayers.com!

That is only true assuming you are at some point in the earth's gravitation field where g = 9.8m/s*s which is just an AVERAGE after all. Cracked, with one of those roller-biners and a few dozen bottle rockets strapped to your fat ass you might get jerked off the ground when belaying someone. Wouldn't that be a treat?

These things would allow the force to be more distributed to multiple pieces of gear and the belayer. They cost $25 each though. The only screamer I rock climb with is Squid. Fun armchair speculation problem though.

That is SOoooooooooo two weeks ago.

Sunny High: 68° Low: 45° Sunny High: 69° Low: 45° Sunny High: 67° Low: 42° Sunny High: 66° Low: 43° Anybody need to borrow my umbrella while I'm gone? Doesn't look like I'm gonna need it. p.s. Hey Olympia-climber, your tree looks ill.

Here it is, THE Joshua Tree, even though it's not a real joshua tree: And all it's friends:

I had a friend in junior high/high school who, after the U2 album "The Joshua Tree" came out, thought that there was only ONE Joshua Tree. You know, THE Joshua Tree?

I agree. About OB/GYNs: They are sued so frequently because most families cannot afford to pay for lifelong care for a child born with a disability or disease. Their options are: give the child up for adoption or sue the OB and/or hospital claiming they did something wrong in delivery and it's their fault.
