    summer job?

    I'm sure osteopaths, JDs, and PhDs would be shocked to learn this "fact".
  2. Go the other direction and leave a bike at the Stuart Lake trailhead. Bike ride is all downhill back to Snow Creek lot. You could take your chances with hitchin' too. Shouldn't be a problem on a weekend. Please post a trip report here on cc.com when you get back! Pictures are especially appreciated!
  3. Outstanding TR Jay! I look forward to your TRs about sending some New England granite and ice.
  4. And, when in excess, both are unnecessary and detract from the climbing experience.
  5. Big room (~20'X14') in half basement with lots of windows. House has big yard (corner lot), garden, DSL, NY Times, all appliances, furniture, TV, etc. Current housemates are mostly UW grad students or employees aged mid 20s to early 30s. Currently three females, two males - one male is leaving. No pets unfortunately. Absolutely no tobacco in the house. Easy 8 minute bike ride to UW. Easy access to buses 71, 65, 68. Hot, single, female ropegun prefered, but will consider all sane, clean, and friendly applicants. Rent is ~ $350. Contact me via PM or email: alpinfox AT yahoo DOT com --I don't check that email often, so be patient. I'm going to take some pictures of the room and take some measurements and will then update this listing.

    Everclear

    You could make it yourself Info on alcohol
  7. Do you have any pictures of which nubbin' my foot should be on while placing that cam? Perhaps a topo of the slab?

    summer job?

    It worked for John Muir.
  9. Yes, but he has an easy-to-clean stainless steel face. or is it ALUMINUM!??!?!
  10. Did you get to climb in the Icicle canyon? Cuz the sun dried up all the rain and the rock climbing was real good that sunday afternoon. Unfortunately not. I was in a group of four and only two of us stashed rock shoes in the car . Shoulda just made them our belay beyotches. Oh well. I was pretty tired and the mocha milkshakes at the 59er Diner were calling.
  11. In that case, ID makes an eVent overbag at 18oz that might be a better choice than the "Endurance". Add 2oz if you want a zipper. Anyone used the ID eVent "South Col" bivy? My bivy is the only thing I have which doesn't fit it's stuff sack easily ; patagonia micropuff jacket, rei tent, golite tarp, ultralight thermarest... all that stuff fits in its stuff sack.
  12. I've got the Salathe and it's a good one. Easy to get into, bug netting, a little wire stiffener to keep the bag/mesh off your face, and the Tegratex fabric is great. However, at 2lbs 2oz, it's pretty freakin' heavy for a bivy. That said, I've slept soundly and comfortably in pouring rain in the thing a couple of times. The stuff sack is too small. I'm interested in getting a lighterweight bivy and am interested in the integral designs "endurance" bivy; 12.5oz! A friend of mine was using one of those while we slept in the rain yesterday up at Mt. Stuart and it seemed to do the trick for him and he saved ~1.5lbs over mine. A little tricky to get into it without a zipper though. Claustrophobia chamber? ID Bivys Or how about a BD Winter Bivy (9oz)

    Lucky bastard. So are you gonna go? If you need an assistant; let me know. I know all about rocks and stuff.
  14. It was a pretty interesting Sup Court decision (6-3) The dissenting votes - those saying that state drug law should trump federal law - e.g. the justices who are "down with the herb" were O'Connor, Clarence Thomas, and Rehnquist! Maybe ole' Rehnquist has a little greenery loaded in his "chambers" to help him with his ailments these days? Basic story
  15. It's called "Intruding Dyke" and it's 5.7. N. side of Breadloaves. Good one. An equally good or better climb in the same area is "Carol's Crack". 5.8?
  16. Thanks for rubbin' it in ya jerk! Actually, I had a great time hiking out from the N. side of Stewie in the rain on Sunday. Really I did.

    Summer. Fuckineh.

    Mr. Cash, You are wrong because the question doesn't specify winter or summer solstice. If we assume the question is about the Northern hemisphere's summer solstice and "getting closer to the solstice" means after January and before June 21, then you are right, the answer is B. Geeebus I'm doin' some serious geekin' today. This calls for some sexy librarian pics!
  18. Bullshit Gary. ADD is real. I think it's over diagnosed and I agree the pharmas have a big stake in that, but if you see someone with a severe case, you wouldn't be so dismissive.
