who says there's never any "missing links?"

fucking awesome - aww...no morning dew!

w/ beacon closing now i'm gonna start going to smith whenever the drive there doesn't look too sketchy for my craptacular car - would like a driving pardner dave and we could meet ken-o-sabe there

wow. sucks. taking the job seems to be the best realistic option, assuming your wife doesn't prefer you stay of course. do the skype thing if you go. being able to talk to my brother in iraq and actually seeing him makes it feel like hanging out w/ him again, and he doesn't seem so far away then...

nice

word. but what am i, chopped meat?!? you hurt my feelings! there's more to do on hood for sure, though i don't know if the weather will ever improve enough to do it. let's work out on the n side of beacon this winter? on days it's dry enough we can hit up the o-zone too (it's silly fun, and a nice antidote to the intimidating beacon bigwalls)

Not just yet. Lets get another 20 page of religious bullshit then I'll think about it.

never! and feel free to cite some more tolstoy, but how about "how much land does a man need" this time instead? it's been awhile since i've read that and remember enjoying it thoroughly...

what could you possibly have not liked about this sweeeet bivy site? only 10 feet from the start of the route...

ha - i was brow-beat into walking across that thing - luckily i was so heavily medicated at the time that i was in the spirit world and could convenietly transmut meself across the chasm here's me in full mediation mode

pretty much demands the stealth solo

man - what a crazy place to be! mike and i did that climb a bit different but i'll still never forget it ('cept the hyrocodon laced descent which i can't seem to remember now actually we had 2 ropes and i can recall at least a half-dozen double rope rappels to get off after the sketch of the last bit of the norht face... fuck! that's Man territory up dere!

christ - the closing of beacon depresses me! today was awesome - dryer than it's been for me in months out there it seems - cold and clear and windy - nearly ran over old larry while driving out - did the whole lap in warm trangos - why does my baby have to leave me for 5 long goddamn months!?! guess its ozone time.... plenty of ice on route

uhh, hello? pressure? pot? painkillers? pork? portabello mushrooms?

pressure? pot? painkillers? pork? portabello mushrooms?

da'lright - will be looking for you, at the base or up the route...

i could probably be outta school by 220 - is that too late for you?

saw'em last week - look very stylish - i especially like the assortment of animal skins available...

pok'er? i don't even know'er!

la sportiva trangos

dirtiest man w/ the family-friendly reputation ever? "i hate snaff-porn before lunch!"

whichis springfever? was looking at bluebird direct y-day - looks fun, albeit needing some cleaning...i didn't discover bluebird till this fall - the 2nd time i did it i got the top 3000 lbs of the left pillar to rock a good 2-3 inches when i yarded on it! i thought the top pitch of jensen's was coolest, mostly b/c the leader tops out of that roof 50 feet above and 5 feet behind you, and yet somehow it's only .9+ jensen's is really your fav? flying swallow and flying dutchman seem to have cooler position...

anyone heard from mike lately?

pdx ice aint' easy on beginners - the falls to the left of crown point are pretty mellow though, but i don't think there's too much beyond that...

i remember doing hood last winter in almost identical conditions - i wore my 8000 meter down jacket all the way from car to summit - too wind to stop the whole day, but just went slow and dug it - the top of the queens chair was a fucking vortex to purgatory - what a day!
