7 victims means a lot of telephone calls and confirmation before names get released.

Might have a better chance at finding beached architeuthis sp. in Baffin Dru, here's your chance. Better come back for some fun at Smith though.

I shouldn't be at work today, I should be climbing in the name of Dr. Martin Luther King!

crystal sucks and you know it, just ask alpinek BTW the corn skiing on Hood is spectacular right now.

must take a lot of unexpected whippers, followed by some incoherent sentence in gibberish.

don't you belong on powdermag?

softens the landing, I say.

wasn't directed at you, just the attitude of the thread. as for deleting posts, I don't really care, I know I make a contract with the owners every time I post that they have the license to pull it, even if they just don't like it.

I think Matt is going to start moderating his own topic here in a second...

I think DFA made a wine recommendation awhile back?

well I can't seem to edit my first post, but the route in the picture is slightly off. Crackman has given me some great pictures of where we were. Here's one with the right route with us at the start. Thanks Crackman, nice pics!

SO HOWS THE NASCAR CIRCUIT THESE DAYS

they all look a little too chummy if you ask me

Great to see your friend got such a nice sample of Oregon. I didn't want to leave the top. Literally t-shirt and shorts weather.

Mt Hood looks like it's erupting at the moment...what do those building lenticulars mean for you and me my friends? FRESHIEZ FRESHIEZ FRESHIEZ are on the way!

hey, ran into one of your compatriots, Cynthia from DCSAR at Timberline this weekend for some avalanche stuff.

go easy on those bruins, they play rough beefchub.

Trask was that guy arrested at the bass masters championship who hid 6 bass in a cage in a tributary. was busted with sheriffs video camera as he dumped them in his boat. priceless

that's more fun than just following what some guide book tells you. I hate climbing with people who demand we stay on the line by the inch to what the book says. Mt Hood was made for exploring gulleys

I think it was an ice axe and some other stuff. The cave was totally buried though and we had to direct them over to its location. I'd be surprised if they find the gear. Probably will have to wait for it to melt out (which should be like, oh, 2 days until there's no snow on hood again?)

you went past the reid and didn't notice??? seems people who overshoot the entrance to the hourglass wind up in the south exit gulley on yocum. pretty sure almost every inch has been climbed over there as people bail, get off route, etc. maybe not though! there are a lot of variations on things that are not in oregon high. sounds like you had a fun adventure though.

you could buy 2 pairs of high quality boots for volcano climbing for the price of one pair of nepal extremes.

for hood and rainier you don't even need to shell out for the nepal extremes. Plenty of high-quality lines have been climbed in Makalus with great success.
