That is damn funny!

Very tragic. His photo's are some of the best in the world. I have a print over my desk that he took of Denali, some days it's the only reason I stay at my desk instead of aimlessly wandering the office.

Sounds like a sweet little climb with fairly short approach. BTW, 'bone who did you use for your weather report? I want to make sure I don't use the same because I don't have two women to climb with or an I-tent.

Lam, What is the grade for this climb and what's the best way to get there?

You girlz are naughty. Ooohh the mental image! It certainly helps my day go by faster.

Stoli's kamakazi - straight up

Thanks for the info. Extra webbing always a good idea.

Now if your going to go blabbing about Pilot, you should definately include a must for every experienced mountie. this great climb will require all of the years of experience that a climber can muster. You will probably want to seek out the helpful knowledge of a guide, one with much experience and knowledge on how to elude the many cougars. I am of course talking about the fine alpine summit of Mt. Tumalo and the infamous Scot-Mfr. name here'teryx.

Mmmmm, horsecock and cheese...it's the best!

Timmy, why do you want to lead poor Cletus on? We all know that no one from CC lives in Bend, most importantly, we all know that there are no good places to climb or boulder out there either...Shame on you! No give us more of what we want...Puppy porn!

climbing is most definately a sport. When you are climbing some mountain you are certainly working the aerobic side of the equation and while rock climbing you are on the anarobic side of things. Not to mention the mental and any other conditioning a person might do before a big climb.

$5! for what? I thought that was a public pull off. I'm getting tired of paying to play. What a bunch of crap!

Anybody know how to find out if Beacon Rock is open for the season yet?

There are certain "sports" that should really be considered skills because they do not require the "athlete" to be in particularly good shape. ie: golf, bowling, pool. Although these activities may require a certain amount of coordination, they do not require stamina, strength, aerobic & anarobic conditioning, and most important the mental toughness to crank out 2,200 miles (or what ever it was) in less than a month. My guess would be that this fool would break a sweat just thinking about getting his fat ass off the couch and on to a bike for the downhill ride to nearest bar.

Is this idiot for real? I can't believe that some overweight, non exercising jackass would even think of printing such an troll. When was the last time, if ever, this guy tried to ride a bike 100+ miles in a day, let alone, under six hours...for 28 days straight. If he had, he would know that it requires your entire body to complete such a feat. Not just your legs. Not an athlete.. what ever dickhead, light another cig and reach for cold one, then go away.

Any Portlanders up for a Butte outing this Tuesday after work, say around 4:30-5:00?

No Cavey, not the Butt, the Butte. Although climbing at Rocky might be considered by some to be a lot like a butt, what with all the dirt, slime, odor and used condoms laying around.

Potasium attracts skeeters, so stay away from bananas a few days before and during and outing. Niacin keeps skeeters at bay. Try some type of Niacin supplement, but make sure that the pill is manufactured with a food base so that your body can break down the pill and give you the full supplement, otherwise the pill will go straight thru you and down the sewer.

TG, are you going to be around? Are you interested? I got all day Saturday, at least untill early afternoon. I need to be back in Hermiston by 3:00 for my wifes high school reunion. I've been in AK on business all week and I got a serious jones to climb.

Heeellllooo, does anyone live out there? Anyone, Bueller...Bueller...anyone?

I'm going to be in E. OR this weekend and planning to head up to Spring Mtn to check out the scene, I'd like to hook up and climb for a few hours. I'll be at a computer till 11:30 today after that I'm on the road.

All new meaning to the term "Going Postal" Lance is going to put some serious hurt on the Euro's in the next few days.
