From someone in the Portland area, I think there is often a lot of coverage for relatively minor incidents on Mt. Hood. Whether this is a problem or not is up for debate. It is a quick drive and a short flight by helicopter from portland so stories with dramatic footage are relatively easy to come by. Take the most recent incident here, where 5 climbers were trapped on the summit. A good story, but I think the coverage was a little over the top. I'm more surprised that there is such a market for it rather than upset about it.

are search and rescues too common? seems to me there has been a downward trend, but an increase in publicity.

ssh! save it for the publishers. gregm - master of putt-putt you could go on a book tour and sign windmills and clown's faces and stuff

it's probably four groups of 12.

nicely done now turn in your tps report. chestbeating and trolling didn't seem to appear in there, oh well.

...and where is NEWSTIPS????

Not really a concern as there's just about a 1:1 ratio of expensive compost toilets to climbers there now. Earnest is the climber who can work up a good smash that short of a distance from the parking lot.

trask was so close to accidently publishing his hidden porn directory.

I HATE the regal cinema thing they do before movies whoever fabricated that stupid monorail thing can burn in hell. It's like having to watch tron only somehow worse.

you forgot SUPER MODIFIED BUGGIES uggies uggies uggies live music from Winger on their worldwide county fair circuit.

see you at memorial c. $24 for 24 trucks. that's just a buck a truck. kids get in free by brandishing slimjim wrapper. and the drinking fountains have been retrofitted for old milwaukee

dru I couldn't afford the 24/7 security to hold off the admiring rabble outside

I end up placing the smaller wired sizes as nuts a lot of the time and the swaged cables are not nearly as strong (they put in a lot more flex than the typical nut cable). I only have the small gold one (#3?) and a larger (#7?) wired. the latter has been useful in places where you can reach up and slot it behind stuff. you could not do this with a corded hex, but then again you're not exactly placing gear in the best fashion when you are reaching up and blindly slotting things.

nothing like some vans to stink up the room

usually my shoelace just rips out. I wear mid-80's kangaroos exclusively now to avoid this problem. that or some checkered vans, but they don't have the zipper pocket on the side.

I'm 26, and it's all downhill from here. cHucK, I'm not sure where I heard they survived so I'll put that caveat out there.

nah then you get holes in your tps reports and shit.

kind of reminds me of nintendo ice hockey where you could choose the fat chubby guy and the really fast skinny guy. ah the days of my youth.

just look at the evil henchmen...look at 'em!
