I didn't have weapons But I got bombed anyway My ass is sore now

Yeah, for only 2x the price too!

I would think a sil-nylon tarp and a simple epic bivy would probably be a great combo. You would be quite protected from a downpour and the addition of the tarp would be enough so you could stick your head out, etc. so you probably wouldn't need the raised section in the lightsabre. This might be a good option to consider since it would be much more versitile. Just a thought...

Why? Cause they have somelow angle slopes with one tree and a bunch of rocks nearby?

If it's a big snow covered massif, you are probably looking at mount daniel I would think. Other stuff that direction is the middle fork peaks such as summit chief, bears breast, overcoat, etc. which are probably pretty big n' cool looking from there.

Cool! Me and partner are hoping to do this early next week for some alpine fun. Looks beautiful. I think we are gonna do two days for the beauty of the high ridge bivy! Glad to hear the trekking pole trick worked out for you!

Dean, if you are interested in going in throug a southern approach, check out the approach via the sauk river north fork. It starts near sloan creek. I'm not sure if the road is intact, but if so, it makes a very reasonable approach to the south side of glacier peak, in particular glacier peak meadows. THe trail goes through forest for several miles and then climbs steeply up to the PCT to cross Red pass. It is a very beautiful approach, IMHO.

When I saw this thread title I immediately thought: 1.) You were gonna mention some drug deal or hookers you saw on highway-99/aurora ave 2.) I was wondering what you were doing in Seattle.

Somebody answer my Q, I wanna try it out.

They are all fucked up. I think Christianity was used in response to some stupid shit that had just happened in the name of Christianity, similar to using the quote with Islam post-9/11. I am no sure of the original context. Agreed, but communism's one redeeming quality was to spur on the space race, IMHO. Yeah, Islam, hmm...that's a tough one, I really can't see a whole lot of good that has come out of that...the religion of Malcolm-X, Mike Tyson and terrorists?

Religion has done far more total harm than communism. They both suck ass. Thankfully communism is slowly dying off. Religion is only dying off in the progessive areas of the world. To quote once again my oft-quoted grandfather "Communiusm and Christianity, two of the best ideas on paper that turned out to be utter failures."

Shit...you are telling me! Man, what I wouldn't have given for the rasta bivy kit, a good book and a working MP3 player. The fucking snaffles chewed up my headphones the night before!

I doubt FF thinks they'll lose much money considering most climbers stand for personal freedom and environmental protection over business interest and corporate fraud.

Has anybody been up there recently? The biggest of the lakes has a great rock to jump off of. I want to know if they still have any frozen parts, cause it's cold enuf as it is.

So how would a person who has never fished once in his life figure out what lakes are good, get started, etc? I've always thought it would be more efficient to fish for long stays around high lakes. I have absolutely no idea where to fish, how to fish, what to buy tho. Somebody needs to make an Alpine Fishing for Climbers FAQ.

No doubt. Then give it a few years and some postings and during some random weekend it will all of a sudden turn into the CC.com clusterfuck of the season.

There has to be cool mtn towns in WY right? Oregon sucks cause there aint no real mountains there.

I'm not sure why Arcteryx all of a sudden threw their pack line into the trash. The kahmsin series is awesome! the needle and RTs are not.

Umm, we were talking about milf in college, back when i was young, in like '89/90... but good luck on the royalties... --cd. Must've done a lot of drugs too since you can't fucking read dumbass.

Where do we get locked out? I hardly considering restricting road access the same as being locked out. It's great that there are areas that are hard to get to. The tradoff of not having the area used for development or logging is well worth it, IMHO.

OMG, this is fucking hilarious!

I have to imagine the two complainees are suburban driving soccer moms.

Oh there is a story in there It's up to bone if he wants to bring it up again tho. I think it qualifies as a cc.com classic.

Good response, thanks FW. I do agree with the statement that the gay movement can sometimes be in your face. Personally I don't care to see a gay pride bumper sticker. I relate it to me driving around with a "I screw chicks" bumper sticker. It's really not their business or mine. On the other hand, I do think it's that natural disdain they have to be extra vocal to overcome. Back in the day, there was a disdain for other races in this country by a large percentage of the population. The civil rights movement had to be loud and demanding to get their message through. I think the gay movement faces the same uphill battle. I strongly believe it is not the right of the rest of us to look down on them. I have a gay Aunt and several gay friends all of who are incredibly wonderful people. They don't fit the typical gay stereotype, but they obviously still want to push hard for equal rights. It's just how their geneology works...some people end up gay, but most of us do not. What scares me is our country making laws and judgements based on somebody's "morals" about an issue that doesn't effect them. Obviously morals against killing people, raping, etc. are common sense for most sane people. Having the rights of citizens impinged on by somebody's "christian values" is out of whack.
