You might be unique among women I know, in that you're the only one I've ever heard consider the titillating possibilities of a visit to the gynecologist. Do you have any ideas to spiff up the mammogram experience beyond the usual sensation of your boob between two frozen plates of steel with a car parked on top?

Yeah, the best jokes sometimes require both research and context to make sense. Arch, I'll see what I can do, they disappeared my little monkey face from wherever I pirated it, so I've got to give my avatar a makeover.

Russ "The Fish" Walling demonstrates proper belay technique in this image blatantly ripped from his recent TR on Supertaco:

There's some shortish gently overhung off hand sized crack up above the snow creek parking lot, been awhile but I recall it coming in two sections, with a horizontal break. You can get an inobvious total rest by laying down in the horizontal break, discovered by a friend who has held the title of The Prince of Prone for his propensity to lie down whenever possible.

Careful, you're going to get Peter Puget all inspired to post about the greatness of Stevie Winwood...

Me either, it was the first thing that sprang to mind when I read your post. Maybe others don't follow your pearls of wisdom with the same slavish devotion as I, the president of your stalk... err, I mean fan club.

You mean this is just a troll, and not a sincere appeal for help through your emotional trauma? I think it is sick that someone would do that. Why would anyone want to yank the emotional chains of people they don't even know. Why evoke what is one of our best attributes (empathy, concern, whatever) and then step on that person? I just don't get it. Dude, I live on the assumption that folks are basically decent. A troll is a troll, but there is a bottom limit that most people won't stoop below. So forgive me for being a bit surprised.

Hey Dru, lets meet up at Duffy Lake, I can't wait to go climbing in the Coast Range.

Corvallisclimb? Terminal Gravity? Shapp? Lambone? DFA? Is Skyclimb an oregonster? Freih? BadVoodoo? I'm sure I'm missing other possibilities too Hey, wasn't Fejas the responsible party for that Counting Crows cd at Smiffyfest a few years back?

I think you mean Valhalla.

Sucks when the mail carrier is a climber too. That groovy plastic cover is totally resealable when you've finished perusing the deliveree's copy.

At John Scurlock's landing strip, assuming you had a parachute and knew how to use it. As a real answer, you suggested Alpental Basin, but while it offers a number of routes and easy access, it lacks majesty. Basecamp at the end of the snowed over Cascade River road would be better, but much scarier in anything less than settled conditions. I'd guess that valley is a good candidate for the kind of avalanches that lap up onto the opposing valley wall.

Fucking A Kurt, you're a kindred soul for sure.

Hey, a volunteer daycare worker sometimes gets tired of the squabbling brats, it's not policy or any such officialdom, it's just me getting tired of the worthless shit. Random deletion of unworthy threads is healthy for any forum. That "oh hah hah so and so likes dick" is not very original or entertaining. You want to be a cc.com legendary wit? Put your back into you unworthy windowlickers, playing Trask lite will not win you a pat on the head. Think twice before you spray some lackluster drivel out into the more-durable-than-you-think tardwebsphere. Remember, a benevolent god (or capricious warlord) may love you all, but that doesn't mean he likes you. Try harder.

Is anyone out there unfamiliar with the concept of "capricious?" Threads ragging on each other like you're a bunch of pimple faced middle school asshats? Reet reet reet. Take a flying fuck you stuttering wankstains. All marketing aside, pounding tallboys of energy drinks will not make you funny. If you gotta beef with my ways take it up with the management, I'm sure Jon will be very sympathetic.

stalker!

Time to cue the Rooster, eh?

I hate all you Idawhores. Okay, maybe I only loathe you.

Not Martlet, keep guessing.

Arch, the deal for the natives, at least the local ones that I'm familiar with, is that it is a treaty right, a legal agreement between a tribe and the federal government. The "special right" is something they got in exchange for losing their land, a guarantee of maintaining their access to "usual and accustomed" resources. Arguing that they should be restricted to traditional means is tantamount to insisting that the second amendment only guarantees you can own a musket.

Oh, are you a faithful devotee of Dru's trip reports too?

Anybody else notice the dude who wrote the Westmann piece on the back page dissing the 5.9 A2 ++ rating? I can only guess the guy wants a punchfest with Team Mox.

Bowline is faster if you want to tie the end of your rope around a tree You can also tie in with a bowline even if you don't have a harness.

Because they live in the same country? Because bashing baby seals is Canada's biggest embarrassment, and they want to have some standards for the business? Because Inuit live in Vancouver too? Because subsistence is not necessarily tribal in nature? I dunno, you tell me...
