they all taste equally awful. quit screwing around and get some h.c. immediately. timmy your new titles for number of posts is leading to a tremendous amount of spray. so juvenile but so addictive.

raghead? now you're insulting one of my best friends from school, one of the most calm, caring and intelligent people I've known. the situation is hopeless when it comes down to crap like that.

i have heard from a good source that twight himself has a dodge caravan complete with playstation 2 and wood paneling.

This beast reaches it's pinnacle of evolution in the Range Rover driver soccer mom. Minivan matriarch w/ sparkling-clean rhino bar and V8 4WD power! Is there some pre-req. for wearing sunglasses, blouse and sun hat, accessorized w/ cell phone?

I'm going to swath myself in todd-tex and wear a bandolier of cellphones (kindof like chewbacca's thing he wears)

That's about as good as strickland talking about on-sighting the Reid Headwall on Hood. damn I had to grab the bolt on that second pitch of JParkG, gotta stop hangdogging

And how else would you recommend we smoke 'em out and git 'em in the sunlight were they will shrivel in the infinite light of justice? maybe you need a trip to camp x-ray in gitmo or whatever it's called. we'll call it operation enduring sweeping infinite turban-busting freedom.

damn call me Dr. Doublepost.

putting those gapers in charge is a guarantee for groundfalls. it would crash before it showed how to thread the grigri and swipe your credit card number to boot.

Hey at least she didn't have to call in the choppers.

no kidding that chapter scared the crap out of me.

There was a pretty heavy-duty thread on the topic here awhile back started by Terminal Gravity, I believe. A search under his name may get you there. Selters spends a bit of time on it in his crevasse rescue book.

Whoops noticed you are from Seattle. In that case the only route you know is Sandy Glacier Headwall out of "Selected Climbs", Same diff. [ 08-01-2002, 11:58 AM: Message edited by: iain ]

That 98% POD reported by the 304th raised a lot of eyebrows in that search. 98% from a helicopter is awfully high, especially for a black-jacketed unresponsive subject. They can get right up next to the hill, but come on, that's pretty damn confident to be reporting that probability. Dunno for sure, I wasn't up in the chopper, I was busy wrestling manzanita up some creek drainage on that one.

Thanks Tim, nice to have some questions answered finally. That's an eyeopener, as that area was searched very heavily by air and ground.

Uhoh it's Dr. Flash from the infamous and defunct crag.com

Funny to have Twight's book right next to freedom of the hills in REI. the guy is a machine, he pulls off rescues high on Denali, and his advice is right on....for climbing the stuff he climbs. He makes that clear in the book but I bet 85% of the readers are just starting out and don't need to break apart a whisperlite and share a pack to get up mt adams south.

exactly. remember, in Oregon, ORS chapter 401 provides authorization for collecting climber rescue-related expenses. Never used since its inception, but it's there. This HC lover keeps AAC insurance close at hand, though chance of prosecution is remote.
