  1. My cheap ass company, the US Army, is spending your tax dollars my friend.

     

    Yeah, can you say Bassett Hospital?? yellaf.gif Will, I can possibly pick you up and give you a ride out there a night or two next week (I work in Clackamas right near Sunnyside road) I won't be climbing though because I've got a broken leg that's still on the mend and I won't be able to dirve you back, but maybe Bill or John can help out with that.

  2. You guys and all your talk of corn harvest can just go the_finger.gif yourselves. I aint due to be out of this leg cast for quite awhile and there's a good chance the docs are gonna want to put a plate and some screws in the damn thing. So keep you corn talk limited to PM's if you please! wave.gif

     

    Stupid hidden stumps!! mad.gif

  3. Here's a question that maybe Bill (only because he been climbing there longer than most of us and knows more about the history) can help answer. Why is it that it is mainly the same climbs that keep getting chopped ie: white rabbit, blueberry jam, birds of paradise and not some of the stuff over by video bluff or beyond.

  4. I've only been able to upload a few, but it all started with a long approach to this spot that included massive skin failure and thigh deep wallowing in soft champagne powder

    when we finally reached our destination a combination of bulletproof ice, extremely high estogen levels in both myself and my partner and the onset of dusk only allowed us to climb the first pitch

    which also included a moon rise

    the next day included a epic cowboy breakfast after searching out some super top secret ice in a location so secret that TG made me drive blindfolded, that finally led to an incredible day of tree skiing at the splended Fergi Ridge Ski Resort and Chalet. However the day after that brought us up to a beautiful pillar that was masterfully led by Steve (Steve doing his own fair share of wallowing to reach the pillar

    Sorry about the image size, but the small ones are just too damn small

  5. Can someone point me in the direction of the link that has all the black and white images of Mt. Hood. I think it was some .edu link that showed the mountain from all aspects, I did a search but couldn't come up with anything. thumbs_up.gif
