looks like sloth's sister!

wish i could - poverty and the tyranny of women tie me down in chains tougher than steel

how could you tell under all the snow?

baa skull yaddayaddayaddafawk'nyadda i miss the old smilies, the current ones don't show the sweet dynamic motion

if i had a dollar for every time someone said they were quitting this board, i'd have....well, shit....i'm not certain exactly how much i'd have, but i know damn certain that if i got ANOTHER dollar everytime they came back i'd just about double my fucking money

Climb something were you might actually lob off and then you'll understand. you didn't answer the question, o-jedi-master i think more than a few of my unfortunate climb'n-companions can attest to me "lobbing off" onto their painful belays

nope - you can drive to the start of the tilly jane trail currently. you just can't set up an easy car shuttle if you wanted to descend the south side.

word - the most enjoyable part of oleg n' me's joyride last year was bailing down the vertical forest in the snow and gale - rapping through the jungle was utterly funky - a place where having 2 ropes sure as hell wouldn't help! descending the route has the virtue of steering clear of more avy terrain

to the music - all together now! Goodnight, sweetheart well,it's time to go Goodnight, sweetheart well, it's time to go I hate to leave you, but I really must say Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight Goodnight, sweetheart well,it's time to go Goodnight, sweetheart well, it's time to go I hate to leave you, but I really must say Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight Well it's three o'clock in the mornin' Baby, I just can't do right Well, I hate to leave you, baby I don't mean maybe Because I love you so Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go I hate to leave you, but I really must say Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight Mother, and, oh, your father Won't like it if we stay out too late Well, I hate to leave you, baby Don't mean maybe You know I hate to go Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go I hate to leave you, but I really must say Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go Goodnight, sweetheart Well, it's time to go I hate to leave you, but I really must say Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight

jay-sus! you catch up w/ it or just end up sleeping in your bag in the snow? rather expensive bunch of nylon to go flitting off into the beyond - you must not have ordered the fattest person in your party inside as an anchor first? the kid didn't top out - got sketched just above the schrund i think 'fore the pmr folks got to him - saw him being escorted down when i was in the devils kitchen area (quite calm that day) - i just wanted an insight into the parking lot scene, my spidey-sense said it had the potential of being damned amusing.

does this mean i have to take my 20 lbs of spiral-cut ham back?

"why?!? why i was made to feel pain?!?"

this has nothing to do w/ climb'n, kevbone - nothing! wanted to know if anyone heard what went down w/ a kid i saw on saturday on mt. hood. the hapless young pup apparently decided he needed to climb hood by his 18th birthday to make a man of himself (and here my generation thought a sloppy blow-job in the bushes by some homeless waif of nebulous gender would do the trick!) reckon his dad said he couldn't go, so the kid lied to him and went for a solo outing anyhow. by 4 a.m. as i was leaving the t-line lot the Forces of Good had assembled and were mobilizing to collar the absconded youth - i wanna know what happened when they got him back down to the lot! i saw no blood when i returned, but then many hours had passed since i still ain't figuring out that whole skiing on ice thing yet. conditons on the s side are currently sporty - pearly gates are damn thin and demoralizing for those wielding a solitary axe and alum crampons - the mazama route is better, but very icy - tickled ye olde cockles to see two chaps take a spill and surf a good hundred feet or so down towards the fumorale - i thought i was the only dumbass who did that kinda crap!

i've never really understood why people worry about this kinda crap - have you ever heard of a climbing accident where the rope blew (unless it was cut over an edge or had something obviously wrong w/ it)? if it's faded, if it's funky - then it's done. unless you're rich, in which case you actually give a crap about extending your earthly existence and can afford to buy a seperate rope for each day of the week (to match your high-tech rei-day-of-the-week underoos)

i meant more to bitch at kevin then suggest i would do the extendo-tour of the columbia area

dunno kevin - i'm going climbing tomorrow on hood and would like to know the state of 35...

i'm 6'7", 230 lbs - i'm far from the best climber, but not the worst either marcus d's bigger than me and a bunch better too i hear so tall folks can climb just fine

when did thermogenesis become a "southern aspect?" enjoy - should be cool to have the mountain all to yourself as no doubt it'll be until the roads fixed

dude!?! how can you can in good conscience kill a thread that threatens to put the Fawking Nodder in it's rightful gaddam place?!?

actually - sound slike you can get up to cloud cap still by going hte back way

weather was beautiful today - decent crowds in the pop spots - climbed zebra-zion for the first time - worth the drive

good to know - the sky is no longer falling

milf? milf! i think hurley's like 60 now - i could care less...

guess that oughta wrap up fall attempts on hood north face, eh? damn - never really had a chance this year...

“Evidently, something gave loose by the glacier up there and it just kind of all came down at once” said ODOT’s Bob Sork. now that sounds interesting...
