hehe sorry...long day... see ya there...nad yes try not to get shot at this time...

i think we are gonna go up past the ice creaggin spot and camp up where the start of the glacier is for the coleman route, unless there is a good camp spot near the craggin' is there good camping to be had there? we could just swing on over there...

i'd give ya a ride, but i am comming from the north. we decided to skip the summit and just crag and do crevasse rescue for a newbie buddy instead, so we are bringing some BC Merlot from the Okanogan to go with our green stuff...seey a friday night and saturday and mabe asturday night guys...lawgoddess...are you comming as well?

see you guys up there...we will be camping at the foot of the glacier friday night (as we are leaving canada late afternoon). we'll have some KGB form canada if interested in some o' that B.C. goodness... cya up there...

coffee with amaretto...

if you are going to go canadian on packs...skip the arcteyx and get serratus...they are bomber and they are litterally 1/2 the price...those things are geat no frills packs...i have beat the shit out of mine and it is still in great shape...My 2 cents...

we'll this one was bomber once i got it in, but my partner took a crevase fall on cadaver gap and we only had pickets (as it was really early) and the snow was fluffy and as i arrested the fall adn started to tak ethe picket out i realized that the picket wouldn't hold(even in deadman position). so i dug and dug and dug...(while holding my partner in the crevasse, and finally hit glacial ice and proceeded to pound the pickett into the ice untill my knuckles were bloody and it was secure...i was soo scared banging that picket in i was shaking... but it was the most bomber picket i ever saw...could barely get it out and had to chop it out with the adze...

were gonna be up there...i'll bring the merlot...c'est mon prefere

headed up friday night and climb sunday...are you headed up that way?

sweet...thanks a lot...sounds like we'll have a fun trip if the weather holds up...thanks all...

oh and as an alternate, is there still good ice craggin to be had around there? (contingency plan) thanks for the help MattP

yeah i am an able climber...jsut wonderin if it was actually possible (without taking 5 days). i am not afraid at turnin back, but i will do soemthing else if it looks like a total mess... thanks for the input though much appreciated...

any possibility for climbing the demming route still? how far could we get up if we are willing to do some ice clibming (and down )...thanks in advance...

we are people who have leavenworth 2 hours away...that is who we are to argue...

i'm guessing mabe A-10? dah wedge! where's ma prize? [ 10-27-2002, 10:18 PM: Message edited by: Fence Sitter ]

uhmmm...stupid things done in youth? uhm hang out with anoying speep heads after a really great concert(amon tobin) last night. damn they are freaking anoying...

you got it my chineese friend...

"Two Americans — a man and woman — were among the hostages, a U.S. Embassy official said, but no further details were available. Citizens of the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and Latvia also were confirmed to be among the captives."

amen shit stain...

seriously guys...740 people... were you talking like this after Sept. 11th? think how the russians are feeling...700 of their countrymen are being held captive and will probably die... think about it guys... it wouldn't be this funny if you were looking down the barrel of a Ak-47 would it?

uhm...i dont think this is funny... a woman has died and 740 more could follow...

http://www.msnbc.com/news/824951.asp?0dm=C13JN tought one...700 hostages adn 40 hostage takers? man if you stormed you would have severe civilian casualties, though what is teh likelyhood of their demands being met? (russia pulling out of chechya)...extremely unlikely... shitty deal man... something has to be done about this terrorism soon as any time anyone has a quam, they just hole up somewhere with ammo and hostages...but what to do?

when i was on athletic scholarship, i was at a track meet in alberta and after i won my race a man put his hand on my shoulder and asked my to come with him...turns out the coach on the other team had accused me of steroid use and i had to go to get tested right there... first of all...some guy sit down on a chair, hands me a cup and stares at my crotch and says you have one hour... but the catch is, he was watching me the whole time! i couldn't go...it took me 40 minutes to go and all the while this guy had to stare and my junk...gawd it was awful... freaking creepy...

i cant help but hum gotta whole lotta luv by led zeppelin when ever i see this picture... nast!

its just the lower malamute right? then i would think it is jsut an access issue... they are jsut worried that climbers will get hit by a train or something i suppose...ridiculous that they even have to worry about soemthing like that...but hey sign of the times... sweet picture by the way...
