maybe he'll show up again to defend himself here, but maybe not.

I'll throw in some boring ski slogging to help it die...

West Face of Washington: breeding ground of terrorists

"somewhere over on Kiss of the Lepers" = fun times!

forecast for Vantage is sun breaks with rock showers

don't worry I'm going to check out the latest lawson 5.8 multipitch testpiece over yonder monkeyface. good choss to be had. all in the name of contributing to the slow heat death of the universe.

W. Face of Washington: sick 5.6 route

I'll be sure to dump some choss on your noggin as I run the christian bros traverse on a crowded weekend

I just wanted to respond to your post because EVERYDAY I TRAIN TO BE ONE OF THE TOP 5 CC.COM POSTERS WHILE ERIK IS IN CALI

All part of the experience. It's 5.6 too dude, don't sandbag

something like that. just checked CNN.com and they have the shocking headline article: "file sharing sites may trade porn online" oh! REALLY? It was accompanied by this picture, which I found equally hilarious:

may also be that I grew up w/ the santiam area as my outdoor playground so I have some bias.

I strongly disagree. I have had a great time on Mt. Washington. The choss at times is part of the experience. The west face is a great route. So are parts of the west ridge and the east buttress. Yeah if you're looking for awesome granite you've come to the wrong place but if you're out for a good adventure I think it's a lot of fun.

decomposed plant matter trapped in strata pumped out by tycoons and refined to be distributed at ludicrously-cheap and outrageously expensive values.

dru do you have to piss on every thread?

what's that, a thumb compass and Technu? no, this is just a course set up for a mtn rescue team to keep the mental gears oiled. orienteering comps would be cool though, I got a navigation tips lecture from one of the better orienteerers(?) in the country and he had some cool map techniques. I think geocaching is more fun though. Especially for climbers.

It's not a class in orienteering, it is a course through which I, and other friends, will navigate at great speed.

the Ochocos are east of Prineville, kindof eastern central Oregon.

ah yes, Ma Viesturs. She is TOUGH!

first: alec baldwin is a moron. second: did you think he was serious?
