LOL...damn, I forgot all about Mrs Laterneau. I dunno tho, it seemed to me she was more into the sleazy hoodrat type.

I will be ordering the "classic thong" post haste!

Just go over to your cubby hole, get you mat, and take a little nap. The short yellow bus will be along soon enough, Joshy. I'm out of luck...the lightning took out the "special people" lift on the short bus...looks like I'm here all night.

Even if you aren't trying to squeeze more stuff into smaller time, it can sometimes be fun to nail a bunch. That dickhead mark twight always talked about how badass he was on mount hunter going like 43 hours straight. Maybe I should do a 43 hour straight peakbagging extrodinare here! Then I could write a book about my technique but basically use it to describe how I am vastly superior to the rest of you!

HAHAH! Well deserved. I like those smilies. I just want to leave...

Check out the WSDOT traffic page. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/PugetSoundTraffic/cameras/. Apparently a few minutes of hail and one thunder clap is quite disturbing to most drivers. I'm stuck at school.

prusik isn't that big so that would make 5 in a day, still very cool. swap prusik for mcclellan and little anna and you've got 6 in a day! very painful but doable! I still want to know if it has to be a loop back to the same starting place.

Klenke, another 4-in-a-day, building on your 3-in-a-day list would be eldo-klawtti-austera-primus. If we dont care if it's one way and we simply define day as any 24 hours then we certainly did that when we saw you a few weeks ago. We climbed eldo fairly late the evening before then the other three the next day. granted, you would nail us on not scrambling the true rockpile on austera , but I am simply saying the timing works. While we are at it, forbidden->boston->sahale->buckner could definitely be done in a day. Probably a rather painful day however. In fact, if you count horseshoe as a peak (I dont know if it fits your criteria or not) that would make 5. if You are allowed to use a high camp vs. car to car, camp somewhere in boston basin. climb forbidden's west ridge, then descend the NE ledges to the boston glacier. Traverse the boston to it's 8600 foot col between boston and sahale. climb those two then drop down and traverse to buckner and horseshoe. traverse back to the col, rap down and return to your camp. I'd probably take a rap rope and plan on soloing everything for speed, but I'm sure you could still do it with runninb belays on the exposed parts. From what I have heard boston is a crumbly pile of shit so you may need to take some time on that one.

As far as I know, only one team has ever done all three car-to-car (insert super chestbeating smiley face thingy. ). Doing the 3 plus copper is totally doable. I honestly dont even think it would be stretching it that much. Fernow-SFJ-Maude was quite a bit easier than I was expecting. There have certainly been harder day long peakbagging trips. Also, FWIW, Ice lakes is really cool for those who haven't been there. It is certainly worth the visit. For clarification, are we talking car-to-car or camp-to-camp? We obviously could have done the 3 9000s much easier from a camp in leroy basin.

Yeah, Paul, I totally agree...it's not climbed much at all. I was just saying that register probably wont reflect most winter climbs. One man's "delay" is another man's epic!

The SS (heh...ironic) is pretty uptight about that shit. In this case it's pretty absurd, but if you started spraying that you are gonna X the prez, then they'll certainly look into it. Free speach doesn't cover actual threats against the prez's life. On the other subject, Ashcroft is a flaming pile of shit. The sooner that man is out of power, the better the world will be. he is the biggest single threat to civil liberties any person in power has been for a long while.

I had one of dem dar Nex IIe players before I lost it. It was a pretty decent simple player. My only complaint was the battery life with 2 AAs was about the same as the newer players with 1 AAA.

Was that the ranger cabin that was in the woods right after you leave the main trail and head towards kennedy hot springs? That's sad if so...it was kind of a neat little cabin.

Considering the frequent debates in the spray forum, I think several of us could claim PHDs in political science by now.

I have bad ass microwaving resume and my experience swatting flies is unmatched.

Ha! Whatever. Like you would have even known it was there without Colin and Dave going in there and climbing something first and reporting the approach notes and that it wasn't that hard.

So which one of Dick Cheney's companies is paying your contract?

Yes, you'll hang around as long as you are enlisted. He'll be your commander in chief, like it or not, and you work for him.

Like I said...classy!

I'm a real classy guy... I let the girl I picked up at the club the night before choose the breakfast spot.

Remember, people climb Big4 as a winter climb too, when you probably wont see them sign the summit register. Didn't somebody from here epic on it this past winter? Or was that the winter before?

It's a Nikon D100. I'll check out those tutorials. I'm interested in learning about all these post processing tricks.

The skis vs. bike comparison isn't exactly fair. Skis ride over snow which inherently protects the ground underneath. Bikes, esp. if the ground is at all wet, rut it, esp. trails. I'm not saying I wouldn't like more mountain bike access, but I dont think skis are a valid comparison. The trails I would most like to see opened, if any are, would be lowland trails. The alpine is no place for bikes, but what about trails like the big beaver trail, the approach to olympus,etc? It seems like some restrictions on seasonal use could keep abuse to a minimum. I think another problem would be the conflicts between trail user types. Hikers probably wont like bikes flying by. What really pisses me off is trails where bikes aren't allowed, but fucking horses are. The horses tear shit up worse than any bike I've ever seen. That doesn't even address the fact that they shit right on the trail. I think I am going to start shitting on the trail.

Yes, because as we all know saddling the country with huge deficits is a strong engine for economic recovery.
