Unfortunately the odds say you are many times more likely to contract a disease performing cpr than doing any good at all. Not to say it's not worth doing, but it is pathetic in terms of helping somebody live.
I would take crampons too. It should be set up really nice the next few days. Be aware once the sun hits the upper mountain anything that cuts loose will be coming down on top of you. I'd go early with the forecasted freezing levels. The route desc. in Oregon High is accurate.
Supposedly, the thief knot did have a purpose. Sailors used to commonly tie their sea chests shut using a square knot. If a sailor suspected that someone was going through his belongings, he would substitute a thief knot for the square knot. The thief mistakes the thief knot for a square knot. When he refastens the rope he uses an ordinary square knot and is detected thereby.
did you actually read the entire thread above???
no, you HAVE to buy it and saw off the spur so that everyone can SEE you are indeed still a new-school system-bucking, fast-and-light, softshell-wearing, simulclimbing, drytooling, titanium teakettlin', patagucci pimpin' badass.
hey now I was a boy scout and I learned a ton. mainly about what not to do. I learned don't bivy on the summit of mary's peak in the winter in the coast range. Don't posthole in snow in jeans. Don't bring a pair of spare jeans to replace the ones you got wet postholing. I learned not to through aerosol cans in the campfire. All we did was go camping all the time. I got a lot of outdoor experience that way. In short, in the group I was with, you will get a lot of outdoor experience if you stay alive.
Please. if you're going to bring out "chief" please spell it appropriately. It is "cheif", as in, I would like a cheif salad. See any of the multi-page quibbles between cracked and the artist-formerly-known-as-fence_sitter for reference.
Usage: nice gorts cheif
I think it comes from the location where the story is set, Top Wutherns (Withens?) outside of Haworth in West Yorkshire. It's a little shack of stone, not much there.
and all routes would have to have "and" in them as in:
chain reaction and reduction
snaffles and snufflupuguses
etc.
it would also inspire the gruel-flavored clif bar
i think part of it is the overwhelming odor at meadows bathrooms too, which have these toilets from the mid-80's or something. often one encounters beached whales in them waters. yaarr.
