cool - i have a pretty big truck too and can fit a lot of shit into the bed and cab - gonna be gone to the valley for the last week of this month though, so hopefully he'll be moving in the next 2 weeks

ah, the original line was so much better... "i think i love you...i wanna have your abortion"

li'l god's goodness dumbass!

nah, save aid climbing till you realize you can't free climb for shit!

this is the post-obama sprayadise, dontcha know? - does this portend the end of history, as trotsky promised?

nah, you can practice crevasse rescue in deep ass cracks on the nisqually in early summer - i remember training to ascend past sleds on a may trip there back in '03. a short approach from paradise parking lot too.

slides are rare on the SS route, especially if you're up and back down to the hogs back by 9 or so. who needs friends? if they don't wanna go, just solo the route - it's kinda more fun anyway, depending on the friends and your mp3 playlist

i've found benadryl is a wonderful way to make this happen w/ regularity Drugging your kids? Everynight? Ever? nah, but i did start calling my wife "frau goebells" when, frustrated by their eternally staying up till 10 every night, she gave them said medication for 2 nights in a row at 7 so they passed out at 8. for the past week now, they've been asleep round 830 each night, so i'm thinking about changing my name to "herr joseph" course, it does mean they're up and at it a 7 each day, but since i'm usually at school by then anyway...

the trail is open - plan on snow to the hut

i like the verb "fagged" most, but maybe that's b/c i'm a fag?

it's the texas 2-stepper - holy fuck - you live! my favorite descent off beacon rock ever was w/ you, hombre - and talking you into soloing luetholds was a highlight of my date-rate techinque too so seriously dude - pictures!

stories where you don't die, but almost die = entertaining

2 pics of me n' my buddies - we did some of our first climbs on the CD, and taught ourselves crevasse rescue in the sweet-jesus-almighty big cracks to be found there - enjoy! my mother's favorite

I have descended it but I wouldn't say it's "so good". In fact I'd give it about 2 out of 5 stars. wow, so cynical! fisher chimneys was the climb that convinced me to a) move to the northwest from back east b) stop climbing volcanoes and c) actually learn to trad climb i met a guy on our hike out at lake ann - probably in his 80s - carrying an ancient ice axe - it was the 65 anniversary of his ascent of the chimneys - we offered to take him back up if FC gets only 2 stars, then the sulphide has to get -2 stars

word. i've even learned how to press the button.

congrats, esse. don't know how i missed the er in talkeetna either - i don't recall anything of the last 2 days i spent in that town - i vaguely recall nearly urking on jim bridwell's dog in the park though while desperately trying to hold my west rib burger down after a morphine chaser! that 2nd pic is b'dass!

i certainly agree w/ you on not pulling fixed gear, and my tr could have been taken to mean i was intending on keeping the pin - i'd actually intended on putting it back in after we did HT but the hour had grown very late and both mike and i were busy w/ family all weekend - and now that it's wet this week my suck-ass skillz would make freeing back to it haaaard! still - i wanna do die in the gym, so we'll be there soon on the side though, how on earth do people skip all the gear placements before that pin? jesus, the fall there would indeed be a ruinious pendulum back into the wall! i grunt and suffer even in aiders there

i don't think there's any way to keep it loved - it just runs so much w/ dirt - you pretty much would have to take a power-washer to it at the start of the dry season? how was this done originally? there's a bolted line on the far left side that goes through the same muck - vertical talcum-powder coated glass!

i haven't actually been down past the bat wall - is muji in the olson book? details/story? i havne't noticed it, but then i haven't spent much time at broughtons at all.

uh, scott, it's spray dude? what else did you expect? i did note w/ irony the prole observation right off the bat though as harry pi would say: congrats on your #1 capitalist experience! thanks for allow sprayer to post!

yeah - come to think of it, i remember cursing layton at one very exposed belay where he couldn't help but send a lot of scary shit my way - just that 1 belay though - oh yeah, and that one where i had to set up a belay w/ essentially no gear at all... the descent down the interminable 4th class gutter system was much crappier and looser though

oh i meant it in the best sense - i am eternally jealous - it is as if you have cast off your mortal skins, become beings of pure enlightened energy, opened the pod bay doors and achieved star child status!

me, in near catatonic nap-state on HT

ahhh - looks like boarders n' skiers - not REALLY people, in the strictest sense of the word
