soooo...mike oughta fit right in?

creepy. i gotta believe the obama-llama is beggggging to run against the pallinator

ahhhh...so then you really weren't thaaaat hungry. recall once making the miserable slog all the way out from dome down bastard creeks sans food, fixated on the image of tackling my partner out of the blue and draining a pint of blood for a quick snack

seem to recall they'll start by not giving you your gas at the landing strip, if'n you're landing on the kahiltna

i still don't understand, though i am admittedly a very dense hombre - how can a pot stand up to a stove but not a wood fire? i'd think even a jetboil hi-speed setup could be made to serve given the right amount of desperation remember eating my instant grits sans hot water once when the fuel gave out - suck!

5.11 is moderate? i dug on braile book bigtime - bit of an approach to hike up to it, but def worth - far cry from 5.11 though

i got my teachign degree at costco!

pretty certain wheat thins are soylent green - don't give a shit what's in 'em 'cuz they sure are tasty

would be cooler if it was called nero, for starters...

yes, that is the point - your post above seemed dismissive of the fact though that a pretty sizable # of folks in the country aren't going to have a pot to piss in however

how can you not have "losers" in a world of limited resources?

didn't they do a movie about this? i found the ending rather depressing though...

wouldn'tnve been suprised if it had happened this trip... [video:youtube]

doesn't count unless you take out at least 2 mounties.

woo would not be a fan of unions.

never will forget the thrill of it getting dark while belayign the pressure chamber pitch - go to follow it w/ pack on, immediately become hyper-claustrophobic - can't figure it out, and end up flying out of the chamber, dangling in space in total darkness on a tiny-ass sport rope, chattering like a wee girl.... ...then after stumbling down from the top getting back to the party to find the fucking keg just kicked! bitches!

i'm sure it'll be a fine weekend for aid climbing while wearing trashbags

G-spotter got back to me on this and I'm not quoting him but something like, to paraphrase with liberties; yo dude, have you checked the weather lately, or, maybe you need to smell the coffee first, or, wake up old delirious fatigued man, or, read between the lines bro. you're so neeeeeegative larry!

nice - how's it look above there? how dirty?

typical cloud elevation 'round rainier goes from the lowlands to the international space station frequently however clouds will be below 6k or so - you can always just hang out in the lot and pound beers waiting for it to lower

was looking at the big map last night - anyone done wild turkeys? the first pitch looks like it gets a good bit of traffic and must be a classic 10'ish finger crack - how about the upper pitches where the topo calls for nails? looks like there's 2 different options as well?

1000$/shot sure oughta keep the dirtbags out of the ruth

i suspect ole'larry could handle das toof mord-wand in all seasons

i wish i could...

anyone who can free the 2nd pitch will be able to do the last half of the 3rd pitch free too since they could actually get their little bullshit pinkies n' whatnot into the crack there - i suspect that upper part (including the final roof) is on par w/ ground zero, so 5.11ish
