if i had a dollar for everytime i had to do the climb of shame back up to illumination gap from down on the reid, i'd probably have enough for a value meal - a decent one - not no just small size n' cheesburger kinda bullshit meal, but one w/ the fatty burger - w/ the big drink and the commemorative cup - n' the curly fries - n' maybe some ice cream to boot?
hiking out this way requires you carry all your shit up n' over though yes? excellent alpine trainign of course, but it leaves the poor goats nothign to chew on!
called whiteboy - you know he'll be mortified he's appearing on teh interwubs? might have to apply a couple extra wraps of aluminimum foil on his hat, eh?
erik...i know that you live in WA, but is there even any granite in OR?
that granite wall near the salem boulders looks like a mini index
oh?
at ny rate, i mean w/n a quick drive - basalt is cool n' all, bur granite has a certain grandeur, no?
well played on #5
but yeah, you nailed me dead to rights - that osama dude was just totally misunderstood
islam doesn't count as a dumbass religion/philosophy? i doubt you meant that its the only religion to throw up dumbass motherfuckers - christians, jews, muslims and hindus have all proven their ability to get crazy w/ it
shit, i forgot the most obvious ingredient - heat! it's gotta be hot, hot, hot - if possible humid too - how many terrorists come from iceland, siberia, patagonia or alaska?
i doubt its the sulfur, that just makes the AMS more aggravating
you should find your body has predicatable responses to changes in altitude - i handle any change up to 10k fine - have trouble sleeping at first after mmoving to that altitude - generally feel ill as a dog between 10-14 after about 24 hours, but feel real strong again after about 2 days - on bigger mountains, my snapback to altitude shifts improves the higher i go - my worst days on denali were all under 14k
ingredients:
massive poverty
any dumbass radical religion/philosophy
political oppression
mix ingredients together and shake vigorously
move to higher ground
newhalem's the zombie apocalyse town right before the big dam, right? cool looking walls there - i always wondered if those were going to be developed by folks unlike meself who don't have to drive for 5 hours to get there
