iain

reading aaj ticks me off. I check the dates on all those monster climbs and think back about what I was doing on that day - oh yeah, I worked that day...hey and that day too. hey, that dude's 2 years younger than me and is a himalayan veteran, etc, etc, ad nauseum guess I gotta quit the job and sell the ranch (i.e. my truck, my sole possession of any value)

classic zenolith thread, really. Post some spray-generating material, sit back and never post again as it hits the fan.

Thanks for the info.

what the...?

I told you not to talk about my hangdog on my short-roping sherpa! my rep is ruined now.

I don't care what the fuck they call us. I don't know shit about the middle east, but on thing I do know is that the culture is diverse enough to not be dismissed as a bunch of extremists pigeonholed under a collective "ragheads". I don't have my feet in the water when it comes to mid-east politics and I'm happy to consider anything but your comments discounted your message.

yeah you guys really stumped him

dammit, I forgot one important chunk of information: 462. won't let that happen again!

ha you're just jealous because you are an also-ran for zen spraymaster. suv's are the works of bin laden and should be brought to justice with carpet bombing. (see current afgan sprayfest in the other thread)

I'm pretty sure I can beat you to it.

I'm pretty sure I can beat you to it.

I've been using Silvretta 500's with Denali AT boots and Invernos, no problems. Release is not as predictable as alpine bindings, but you're not getting those Koflach boots in any alpine binding (as far as I know?). I haven't had any release problems. They are not step-in if that is a concern for you. If you are a dynamite skier you could even get leathers in there.

bumpity bump

it's fetching quite a price.

actually I think it's a girl picture was taken down on the portland waterfront during the rose festival. just had to get a photo of such an epic send.

but your "shots'" would be naturally spaced apart to prevent you eating it all at once. ba-boom ching! and with that, I get back to work now.

they have a seasonal peregrine falcon nesting closure through the keith creek drainage. rabbit ears, turkey monster, cathedral, etc are off limits during this time. I forgot the dates, but it was definitely closed in June.

Menagerie was closed unless you want to climb rooster rock and the surrounding pinnacles, last time I was there in June. That may have changed now.

not nearly as difficult a climb but: Jeff Park Glacier: 1) partner tries "short-cut" end up rappelling on approach. take way too long. left sleeping bag at car to save weight, temp drops to 20F at night. lose too much energy shivering, no sleep. 2) weather seems...okay, feel good. get up to take leak, but have to push new snow off bivy sack at 2am. run cowering down the mountain in a whiteout. 3) try in late Sept. partner has car trouble, try for a TH to TH non-stop deal to make up for time. Get to saddle, lightning rolls in. run cowering down the russell glacier and bushwack to PCT. 4) finally finish the route, seemed too easy for all the crap I went through before.

damn flood control has my number! i can barely get spray in edgewise.

but I am sick of training in the dojo.

I guess so

no shit and my beanie fell off on the dyno. had to grab my backup out of my pranas. no point in sending unless sending in style. pickets: okay, but stick clipping is completely unacceptable tex.

trask is well-known for keeping the talk on-topic. chocolate "outrage" is the best flavor of gu but I still prefer a good chunk of horsecock in my mouth.
