I was supposed to be up at Hood for some training stuff but mysteriously I wound up at home.

I know what you are talking about. Prusiks grip by bending the line. Doesn't make a scrap of difference in the real world, in my opinion. There's too much "lore" going around w/o enough testing to back it up.

so...were you on Lewis Peak this weekend or what? Even worked it into the stupor bowl thread

snowboarders are about as lame as Feyenoord Rotterdam fans

trask

go to canadian tire and pick up a shovel there. save yourself $40.

I'm warming up my ticket zipper (or whatever that thing's called).

Maybe that's what those Black Diamond strap thingies are for in that other thread.

or keep their skis on their feet where they belong

Atomic R:ex. I have a pair waiting for the binders to come (freerides, actually). Heard good things about the r:ex (older, 10ex), but damn expensive if you can't get a pro deal. We'll see if I get them mounted before all the snow melts

I also have several friends from back in the day who are pretty damn proficient with firearms and are as "liberal" as you seem to label me at times. This is a stupid comparison.

I was also referring to the standard question that must be asked before and after every sandy headwall venture, what elevation did you cross Dwight Yoakum ridge? nice climb tex! killer ski down isn't it...oh wait...hope you got a nice hike in around the the scenic palmer on the way down.

classic.

heh heh, boy this weekend is gonna suck. forecast of 8k' freezing levels and raining. sounds like a coffee and newspaper weekend.

not sure but it only recently dropped back into the 20's. It was in the 40's all night only 24 hours ago, miserable. Look for some rate increases on the electric bills this fall!

I set up a script to track this coming windstorm up on Mt. Hood to see how bad it gets up there. It just clocked winds at 95mph at the top of the magic mile. Check it out here.

Kicking Horse is in the Purcells...

The Bauman brothers from the Santiam area, Oregon.

I agree on volcanos, find them pretty useful on hood and you definitely place them quickly to get your second to carry the cowbells.

and sees more crack time than a pair of underoos

that's a new one
