"I propose that sports greatly hinders the development of godly, Biblical, feminine character." AWESOME! The glaring grammatical error in his thesis statement lets you know you are dealing with a titan intellect.

JayB, I appreciate your point about the tackiness, but you can't expect the oppressed to keep quiet when their oppressor comes to the funeral of one of their heros. And yes, G.W.B. DOES represent the white, patriarchal, corporate, status quo, power structure that they have been fighting against for most of their lives. I agree it was a lose-lose situation for Bush... that's because he's a fucking loser. Unfortunately, I agree that he also played it pretty well and got off pretty easy from what I saw.

I bet CSK would not have had a problem with it.

Only a 1100' odd feet of life in Oregon eh? Do you just want to climb volcanos? Cuz here's a little secret for you: walking up volcanoes gets really old really quickly. It might impress your parents and your cubicle-mates, but the thrill fades pretty quickly. Look into learning some rock climbing skills and get some gear and then combine mountains+technical climbing. It's fun. Real fun - but your parents and your cubicle-mates won't be impressed because they have never heard of Mt. Stuart, Mt. Goode, Liberty Bell, etc. If you don't have any friends that do it, and that can teach you, then one of those groups might be an OK way to start. Here is another factoid: The best alpine climbing in Oregon is in Washington.

I, for one, am comforted to know that all of these posts will be erased by tomorrow morning.... ....all my spray, is like dust in the cliche...

Listen here wanker: I'm gonna drag you outta yer ass-viewing booth in 15 minutes and we're gonna go climbing! Aid in the fuggin' rain if we have to and YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT!!

give it a week silly. the conditions this weekend are going to be pretty good for dying, not so good for climbing. All the couch sittin' sprayers were gripin' about snow conditions last week and a coupla badasses went and climb/skied the North Face of Chair. Howz about we go out and fuckin TRY to do somethin instead of wankin about conditions. FUCK!

Good lord. Amazing. Colin! Isn't he in Chamonix now? Intercontinental alpine madman

looks like the east face of cutthroat to me Yeah! I recognize it now. I wish it had looked like that when AlpineDave and I went up there.

Matt, This picture should have been entered in the humor category in the contest. It cracks me up every time I look at it. What's the story?

KG: Do you think that um, do you think that when the album, when this is out... JB: Yeah? KG: Do you think it will make us um, more attractive to the ladies? JB: Pshh, yeah, in fact, I been getting ready. KG: Yeah? JB: Yeah, I been doin cock pushups. KG: Cock Pushups? JB: Yeah. KG: What are those? JB: Its where you fuckin lay down flat on the ground. KG: Yeah... JB: And then you let your boner lift you up off the ground. KG: N...no, that's, that'd be impossible. Your cock can't support your whole weight? JB: Well not at first... KG: Yeah? JB: But over time. KG: Hmm...how many pushups can you do? JB: ...cock pushups? KG: Yeah...I guess, you could only do one really. JB: Yeah, well one is all ya need

Some Foraker stoke: Sweeeeeet.....

Black Diamond ATC-Guide $25 MSRP -Autolocking mode like Reverso (but no sharp edges like reverso) -High friction mode for skinny cord raps Looks sweet! Anybody used one? Good review at rc.com If it's good, I might replace my reverso with one of these when it wears out.

He hasn't posted in over 12hrs. I'm worried.

Mount Hood Don't know. Canadian Rockies?

TNF is now owned by Marshall's or Ross or some shit like that. I forget whom exactly. I think Montrail's shoes are shit. I've only owned one pair and they fell apart. I've had friends who have had montrails and their's have all fallen apart/delaminated/split/prematurely worn out/etc. Their rock shoes are the ugliest on the market. Their rubber is shit (and no I don't mean "THE SHIT"). I think some of their trail running type shoes (goretex sneakers) were OK from what I've heard. It's nice that they WERE based in Seattle. Maybe that will change now? Overall, I give Montrail - Sorry Toast.

While we are on the subject of congratulating people, I'd like to congratulate/thank Ron Cotman for developing Pearly Gates. It's the best craggin' in the Icicle in my opinion. I'm glad he got on the cover of the book too. BTW: If anyone would like to try to order "Weekend Rock" for $0 plus $5 shipping, CLICK HERE. Your order will be cancelled, but it's a fun little game.

sorta like yer mom? p.s. Sorry. It was just too perfect.

Hey, it's a Mountaineers Book. So are most of the climbing guides in North America. Now take back yo' playa hatin' and give the local boy some props! Best Rekognize! Plus, "The Mountaineers" the publishing company is pretty much now entirely seperate from the climbing group "The Mountainears". Or so a little birdie told me.

Maybe posters of trip reports should be allowed to moderate their own trip reports. I, for one, don't mind spray in my TRs, but I know some do.

This is a great book. David draws beautiful topos and his route descriptions are spot on. He also has a knack for choosing only the most handsome and sculpted specimens of manliness for his photo subjects. Bloated tadpole bellies need not apply! Thanks for the hard work David!

Hey Mr. Beckey needs to find a good dentist. Anybody have any recommendations? Regular family dentists are apparently NOT what he is looking for.

Park at middle fork Snoqualamie trailhead. Walk across the million dollar footbridge. Turn left. Wall will be on your right in about 0.3 mile. Ratings are solid. True slabby climbing (very few knobs, edges, etc). It will be running with water right now. It's north facing and is mossy/dirty in early spring.
