Just got some great news!

Supposedly Hansel did a 150' jump off the trestle at x38. That's 150 feet. No swing, just straight down. Swear to god. That's Osman-caliber craziness.

PUSSY! Don't use a static rope. Seriously. Use a dynamic. It will be safer and more comfortable. Also, build TWO good anchors and equalize the fuckers. I used to do stupid shit like this a lot back in HIGH school. I once had one anchor fail on me during a bridge jump.

SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS! That is a beautiful fucking picture man!

Might want to take a picture of your bag and itemize the stuff in it in case of loss for insurance purposes. My attorney might weigh in on this topic as to whether that sort of documentation would actually be worthwhile/useful in the event they lose your bag.

I think the old rules are out the window now with the current CODE RED status, but previously everything has been OK except maybe the nut tool. It's all up to the TSA person's personal discretion though. Personally I'd check everything.

There is a Disappointment Cleaver on Glacier Peak?

Wow. This is my favorite trip report I've read in a while. and regarding this: I hope you aren't an editor of an outdoor magazine.

Cool website. Thanks!

Well, he could have splayed it out better. I can't see if that's one or two 0.75s. And DAMN! That's a lot of small cams. It might also help to know what route the rack was for. I think that's all the smileys I can use in this particular post.

Where? Will the place be big enough for my entourage? Will there be jam packets?

Bonus question for bwrts, what do you think the author meant by the following: My review:

OH! It was just a little gas from lunch. I'm OK now. Carry on.

I think Hansel had a hand or three on his ass at the time. That shit is hard. edit: The climbing. Not Hansel's ass. 2nd edit: I'm not saying Hansel is out of shape. 3rd edit: Nevermind

I feel an odd sensation. I think it might be guilt?

From PATHS OF GLORY two anonymous French WWI soldiers talking the night before tomorrow's assault on a heavily fortified German position 1 - I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of getting killed. 2 - That's as clear as mud. 1 - Which would you rather be done in by? A bayonet or a machine gun? 2- Machine gun, naturally. 1-That's my point. They're both pieces of steel ripping into your guts... only the machine gun is quicker, cleaner and less painful, isn't it? 2 - What does that prove? 1- That proves most of us are more afraid of getting hurt than getting killed. Look at Bernard. He panics when it comes to gas. Gas doesn't bother me a bit. He's seen photos of gas cases, but it doesn't mean anything to me. But I'll tell you something. I'd hate like the devil to be without my tin hat. But I don't mind not having a tin hat for my tail. 2 - Why's that? 1 - That's where your brains are. Because I know a wound to the head will hurt more than one in the tail. The tail is just meat, but the head-- the head is all bone. 2- Speak for yourself. 1- Tell me this. Aside from the bayonet, what are you most afraid of? 2- High explosives. 1- Exactly. It's the same with me. Because I know that it can chew you up worse than anything else. Look, it's like I'm trying to tell you. If you're really afraid of dying... you'd be living in a funk all the rest of your life... because you know you've got to go someday, any day. If death is what you really fear, why should you care about what kills you? 2-You're too smart for me, Professor. All I know is nobody wants to die.

I'll get you some free passes if you want. What nights do you dance there?

I tried to offer some pointers, but they just

Oh hey! I just found another picture from last year's ropeup in my "archive": CLICK HERE FOR PICTURE - (NSFW apparently) Pansies.

This is old news. Just check match.com.

A troll??!?!? SHIT! Please please please delete those PMs I sent you.

Ah the venerable poop frisbee technique. Mt. Stuart has been festooned with many a poop.

I hope you dispatched your Thai food leftovers off the side of the ridge rather than leaving them on ledges? Nice trip report.

Sounds good. This climb is still on my "to do list" after one failed attempt due to weather. Can't really glean too much info from your photos, but that's OK - keeps some element of adventure going.
