wayne and co, sounds awesome, I wish I had the climbing ability to pull it off, because it sounds like an ultimate cascade climbing adventure. wayne, don't apologize for being excited about doing something new, exciting and that you love. I think it's awesome to read how pumped you were to get out there and crank. Dru, from an outside perspective, your comments reak of jealousy. Seems to me somebody doesn't like to have their own chestbeat-FAs upstaged by somebody else's far more impressive accomplishment. I swear you seem to be the most negative person I've ever seen; always so quick to rain on somebody's parade.

a few reasons probably... First of all, shops don't really make any money on them in the first place. Cost is pretty close to $300. There isn't a whole lot of change from year to year, so the "old" models will sell next year, and they don't take a whole lot of space in the stock room. Any speculation on why the manufactuer cost of beacons is so high? Is it due to the low volume sold of an item such as that? I mean, seriously, those beacons are really pretty low tech in terms of overall technology, I can't see why they should cost $300.

I would have to agree for the most part, esp. considering the idiot article writer points to Babe Ruth. Amazing home run hitter before his time? Yes. Athelte? Barely. The guy was an out of shape drunk for the most part who had to get up to the plate and swat at the ball every few innings. To even compare him with Lance is a joke.

Ah, I remember that pic from last year. A very nice one.

Matt, it's spray, that's the entire point. We aren't wasting bandwidth in a useful forum, so don't worry about it.

Wow, the concept of Dru calling somebody else a smartass, that's classic. now now lets not spray all over someone elses nice spray thread! you stiull sending daisy saucy PM's? The whole Daisy thing went on before I ever even starting posting on this board. Get laid, Dru. It might make you feel better. so how come there is a pm in daisy's inbox inviting her to go on a 3some with you and skisports? i believe you mean the whole amber thing went on before your time... you might wanna read the "now that's good trolling" thread Oh yeah, that was the amber thing. Which one was the daisy thing? I'm not responsible for skisports or what the hell he writes to the various female avatars on here.

Wow, the concept of Dru calling somebody else a smartass, that's classic. Yeah, about as strange as you saying something intelligent. Greg, your witty barbs never cease to destroy my feelings of self worth.

It's a different Josh, geek.

Ryland, add the University of Florida campus in Gainsville to that list. I mighty enjoyed the girlies there.

Wrong. The Myo is much more expensive, but side by side it just plain works better. The ability to focus makes a world of difference and the higher voltage + more LEDs makes the LED modes much more useful than the gemini, IMHO. I found the gemini's LED (even with 2) good for around the camp and easy trail finding, that was about it. The myo's LEDs could be used for pretty much everything, including easy climbing. I would agree the myo should be lighter. It's too bad it's a bit heavier, but I decided I was willing to live with that for my heavyweight headlamp. I also like the 4 batteries instead of 3. Sounds like a stupid reason, but batteries are bought in even numbers so it's easier to consume them in even numbers.

Sweet! I'm being quoted out of context now! My fame is spreading!

Texas falls right after the city of Phoenix for total shitholes of the great USA.

Is that legal?

For kennedy glacier, I would *guess* that you can just take basically the same approach as frostbite ridge. However, instead of ascending up to kennedy ridge you would break off to your right and start heading towards the toe of the kennedy glacier. Their may be an "official" or better way, but that looked pretty doable when I was up there last.

I love jackass comments like this: "7/20/03 Railroad Grade/Easton Glacier Area Too many crevasses to do safely." Uh-huh...ok.

Two cams?! Ouch!

Pro cyclists are the exact opposite of the guys in the gym I call "lightbulbs", meaning huge upper bodies and scrawny little legs. Look at how skinny their arms are and their legs are fuggin huge!

Who the hell ya talking about?

What is the deal with the "cuddly lion" anyway? That one always seemed bizzare to me.

Yeah, we ended up being forced to make that exact same decision. Ours was made easier by the fact that we were dropped off at cascade pass road so we didn't have a car on both ends. We ended up pushing through weather from Yang-Yang to WRL, then doing the mega day from WRL, up to the summit of dome, and all the way out. It's tiring...

Why did you bail Alex?

rumors have it he is being overworked at his job allowing no free time. say it ain't so?
