It's all about class in this thread.

Scandalous!

Don't ask, just drive through. And roll up the windows! I bet it's all because there isn't a mega ski/gambling resort on Mt. Adams.

I couldn't tell the difference in weight holding a cobra in one hand and a black prophet in the other. I'm sure the weight distribution is better in the cobra though. They also have identical grip size. Quarks are good for cheating on ice climbs above your ability by hooking the pick line

Current conditions (and the notorious Hal Burton) at the hogsback: Current snow coverage (!):

Climb: Mt. Hood-South Side Date of Climb: 11/14/2004 Trip Report: Damn right I'm posting a skiing tr for the south side. Started out at 0900. Skinning above the Palmer was largely dust on ice, lots of rime. No rock concerns. Was able to skin to the Hogsback, though this was a determined effort. More sensible people would carry them up around Crater Rock. The bergschrund is just a wall of ice right now, and you can walk right in. Above, the gates are quite icy, a little more involved than the May herd conditions. The ski down was surprisingly good in a few places. A few good shots were had over by Illumination Rock, but "good" is a relative term with the weather pattern we've been having. No problems skiing all the way to the lodge. Good to be skiing, period. Coverage is intermittent below the Mile. Gear Notes: Skis, skis, did I mention skis?

So what happens when they arrest someone? Tie him to the roof? Alright kid I'm taking you downtown...err... come sit on my lap.

jeezus thanks for the photo documentary

It is the PNW mountain community's loss not having both of them out there teaching, whatever the reasons.

If you are referring to the posting of random blog links to make points, the answer is clearly no.

Vegetarianism does not have to be about the suffering of animals, though there are some issues to discuss there. There are plenty of other moving reasons to become a vegetarian. If you want to get into evolutionary process, vegetarianism might be considered "artificial" reciprocal altruism to some degree.

Just admit it, you were calling for a cauldron of seething lava

You fool, getting a season pass is a guarantee for the worst ski season of your life. We're all doomed.

It's like a goddamn episode of Entertainment Tonight in here. PM me when you start talking about the latest runway fashions at Muir.

duuuude that guy's skiing through knee-deep corporate logos

Damn straight, the best climber is the one with the most loot.

Only tools complain about rampant schoolgirl lesbianism.

hahah HELL YEAH...er wait that's sorta directed at me isn't it...

Wow, that would be a tough call - ask to use the bathroom or just pee on the boss' furniture...

indeed, indeed, but now you may have given it away. enjoy your last few hours on this earth

well duh, it has the most fun so QED

and now so are you!

I don't think he would accept the nomination. The judicial robes are too risque for his liking.

PChem - where the topics get cool, the textbooks get large, and weekends slip into the ether.
