C'mon, show some class. Class? Like using a child's death for a political campaign of personal destruction, engaging in a seditious game of anti-Americanism, meeting with despicable dictators who are actively trying to undermine us? That kind of class? i'll call you an asshole not for questioning her politics, but her honesty - do you seriously think she's using her dead son as an excuse for pursuing her political goals? disagree w/ her all you want - but she does have a geniune complaint. i can't say that her chilling w/ chavez is classy, but refusing to accept her son's death in a wrongful war is.

looks like fun

anyone wanna climb at ozone or broughtons monday afternoon?

like trout creek

not recognizing significant faces from current events indicates a general unawareness of current events (which i reckon you admit to anyhow) - paying no attention to what's happening in the world around you increases the likilihood of seeing your kids butchered

and quit this week citing the fact that more folks give a shit about american idol then their culpability in a aggressive war that's killed and continues to kill thousands not quite certain why she was chilling w/ chavez, nor how that would diminish the truth of her message.

a few more, maybe...

i hate to ruin another man's joke...

an african mammal capable of running at very high speeds and having a tendency to have a slew of children with a wide variety of partners, none of which stick around to raise the kids? i've never heard of such a creature from such a place before!

i firmly stated i would be part of no rescue party sans tauntaun

perhaps relocating to american samoa then?

are you trying to ruin thanksgiving now?!?

dunno - blake's a handsome white man - seems like if anyone's talking their way out it's him, 'specially w/ a carfull of similiar looking girls, eh?

nice - pete and i waved our beer cans and whatnot out the windown as we passed by in a vain attempt to throw him off your track! now we know what was going down.... thanks for flushing 'em out at least

the boulder field is a bad, bad place - i think some mischeavous marmot put all the cairns up there just to fawk w/ the tourists - it's best to stay down by the creek - all in all, the best time to walk up that damn creek is in winter/spring, when there's a boot pack to follow!

damned revisionist historians!!! great salmon though...

if you also skip the lower ridge than it's a very sane solo, albeit extraordinarily ghey for having skipped the two insanely best parts of the whole climb

is that you, pennywise?

but i thought it'd be so cool to chest-beat about running it out on a .7 sport climb! fwiw - the rock is all real solid and the climbing really easy, that's why i said it'd be a good solo, and yeah, if you skip that many bolts in a row, you'll get hurt when you fall - but if you fall off a 5.easy climb...

is that a freudian thing? soloing is better than climbing w/ a partner who's lame - or not climbing at all, b/c you can't find a partner soloing things that are easily w/n my limit is incredible fun - soloing things out of my comfort zone is mind-boogling terrifing and not something i ever do

usually doesn't happen to late june/early july google mt hood ranger station

all the cool people solo

a good solo too if you'd like to get a lot of excercise on easy terrain - most pitches you could skip 4-5 bolts at a time - an enjoyable backup plan for less than cooperative washington pass weather...

highlights of the weekend: - black ants all over me in the 3 a.m. field-bivy - tasty salmon w/ a nice cool pbr - watching a para-foiler get slammed in the snow by crazy winds - watching a 500 lb ice block miss a skier by a couple feet

why hasn't someone said "the worst climb is the one having the least fun" yet? jeez - this place is changing man...
