  1. well yes. But it makes for easy hands-free access to my champagne glass. A nice feature when trying to work on my commuting buzz.
  2. I'm pretty sure that most of the techno-wank pillowbitters in full racing regalia that I pass on the Burke-Gilman everyday wouldn't test positive for testosterone.
  3. I have limited experience in Juneau, but I second the Mendenhall Glacier/Lake area.
  4. OK. Well here's a photo of the aftermath of an even more incredible event. Meteorite comes through roof/ceiling and destroys printer:
  5. I'm thinking maybe the whole backhoe (or whatever that thing is) rocked to the right upon impact and then when it righted itself, it poked up through the bridge leaving the right side intact? This would also explain the damage on the underside of the bridge above the cab of the digger.
  6. Just one metre square of a new super-sticky material inspired by gecko feet could suspend the weight of an average family car, say its inventors.
  7. Why isn't the bridge cut all the way through on the right side in this picture?
  8. wow! I would have been terrified that one of those summit snow mushrooms would collapse down the face. Thanks for posting that.
  9. 2nd hand, month-old beta. That's good stuff. I was up in BB last weekend and have a picture of the coulior at home. I'll try to remember to post it this evening. I don't think whatever obstacles were there were stopping people from getting to the ridge if that is any consolation. One note: If you are up there on a hot day, you may have difficulties trying to cross the creek right below the lower campsites. I had to spend an extra night up there due to high water levels.
  10. FUCK! Dood, let's meet up after your fooding.
  11. I believe grand champion John_"the windshirt"_Frieh can tell us a thing or two about it.
  12. click here for info on indoor ice climbing For ice screw placement practice, and some top roping of seracs, you can go to the glaciers on the volcanos. Nisqually glacier on Rainier is popular.
  13. A classic Ken quote. Looking forward to your arrival.
  14. I just reread this shit. Josh, I invite you to go repeat this route this winter. It's just like "hiking with an ice tool". Be sure to report back here how your hike goes.
  15. Some guy's trip report of W. Ridge Stewie
  16. You do a lot of that in the alpine do you?
  17. Lightest harness I've ever heard of: LINK
