  1. http://media.admcs.wwu.edu/video/test/ruapehu030906.mpeg Read this link for a story on the slide: http://www.natives.co.uk/news/2003/09/06avtur.htm
  2. Hockey tape. The black hockey stick tape works great in cold temps... Kentucky chrome fails in cold, cold temps in my experience.
  3. I've got scads of gmail invites for those interested. PM me with an email addy...
  4. These binders look interesting: They appear to have the step-inability of Fritichis plus the featherweightness of Dynafits. The price is something else: $475 Canadian at MEC. To paraphrase a friend, the investment bankers must have gotten hip to the backcountry phenomenon. Nonetheless, I look forward to hearing more about the durability of Silvretta's new offering.
  5. If anyone finds a mint condition pair of Smith Sunglasses on the 15 mile trail east of Mt. Hood could you let me know and we can arrange a return? I left them at a creek crossing today the 26th of September. Thanks.
  6. This might help. Not sure if it will tell you when a site actually went live but can tell you to whom and when a given url was registered.

  8. Jon, Do you know the provenance of those stills and where they're purported to be from?
  9. Oh yeah! Well my dogs hunt more:
  10. Dunno about the greatest but she ain't no foo: Unless of course food, snow, a nice long walk/run and/or kitty rocca are involved. I've never understood the kitty rocca thing.
  11. You could just call the Timberline snophone: 503.222.2211? I think the folks to talk to about the cam would be KGW news: Engineering/TV Reception tv8reception@kgw.com kgw.com Management helpcenter@belointeractive.com
  12. Speaking of historical fiction... The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon Was introduced to this wonderful read by someone on this site. I can't recall who?
  13. Hip, hip, hooray! Shizzilate that document and it might make more sense. At least to me!
  14. Yah, there's lots of room so long as yer not tryin ta park one of them there behemoth R.V.s.
  15. Climb: South Sister Slogalicious- Date of Climb: 5/31/2004 Trip Report: We left Willamette Valley iffy weather behind Sunday night... ...and headed for Bend and sunnier climes. A Hot Wheels sticker was our lucky charm: Started skinning around 5:30am and found fine views soonafter: Snowmachiners who cross wilderness boundaries ought to be publicly pissed on. Despite the firm snow the skinning was mostly good: Hmmm, I could be pond skimming at Batchy right about now. The top consisted of classic Cascade chicken head rime but quickly changed to something more skiable: Beers and some chilly water capped off a memorable Memorial day: Gear Notes: Forgot my shades in the car. Approach Notes: There's still enough snow to ski to the highway. Ran into Lane & Agatha!
  16. This made my eyes pop and brain spin as reported in the NYT one week ago: "In Oklahoma, Mr. Berg's e-mail password was obtained by an associate of Zacarias Moussaoui. Mr. Moussaoui, who is awaiting trial on charges of assisting the Sept. 11 plot, attended flight school in Norman in 2001, but it is not clear that he ever met Mr. Berg." Here's the link to the news piece. Little is what it seems.
  17. This is related to beer .
  18. I played rugby in Domes. Only on really shitty pitches such as the glass and gravel strewn ones on Randall's Island in Manhattan and semi-frozen New England ones in November. Apparently they still sell the shoe in the UK and a limitied edition model stateside. Those shoes lasted a while.
  19. "Spanish porno from the reign of Phillip II" "Evonne, Renae, Loretta and What the Parrot Saw." (kudos to Monty Python) "Ejacula" "Bimbo Bowlers From Buffalo."
  20. I like the new small Sony for a point & shoot. I carry two batteries. For the higher end I'm jonesing for this puppy. Not many prosumer digi cams have such a wide angle lens.
  21. I think I've been had by www.networkgeek.com. The photo I INTENDED to post was of a hippie d00d holding up a little fish. A small version can be seen here. I've got nothing against Phish though am not much of a fan. I did have a blast seeing them in a barn in VT once in college. To networkgeek's credit, this is a nice resource page!
  22. dude.
  23. Dogpile! Yeeemotherbleepinghaaaaa.
  24. Brower, David R. (Editor) Manual of Ski Mountaineering Berkeley University Of California 1942 Three years ago I purchased a copy of this edition and to my surprise, and perhaps the sellers too, the book contained a typed note with UC Berkeley Press letterhead that is signed by David Brower. The letter thanks the doctor who authored the chapter on frostbite. I'm not sure but I think the Manual was used for training at Camp Hale in Pando, CO. Pretty neat imho.
