...but man does not rule Mother Mountain. And occasionally she must have her sacrifices. But why did it have to be Timmy the Eagle Scout...some nights I awake in a sweat, just recalling it...

Is that shot just below Muir?

Damn, this thread is starting to remind me of an old Jerry Falwell joke I know.

Chestbeater, cont'd: quote: Next up - Gapewad to Freshie winter traverse, SOLO. ...Will be on the lookout for cougers, tho, as we have heard that they haunt the area.

E-Rock, are you a Samoan florist?

DFA Outa here...wife, kids, cold Red Hook

Where the Hell is trask in all this nonsense?

That, DFA, is actually an ultralight Cart'tryx.

The man's constitution is made of iron, and deserves a salute.

That's actually a PDC---a paralyzed Dachshund cart.

My, this thread has turned a bit queer...

quote: Only with the Misses. Glad to hear it.

DFA does not spoon?

The chestbeater story that must be told continues... quote: Alpine K burning down a monster cherry. I began to protest but noticed that sitting around him were 6 cougars. Man, that guy sure gets the pussy I thought to myself as i backed out the door... ...and I made a mental note to post a complaint on cc.com if I survived this epic. Knowing that a bivy was only answer at this point, I crawled toward the door of the outhouse...

TRs are fun to read.

Cleo, relax, lie there, and enjoy it...it's Friday, and ain't nobody gonna take this seriously.

Oh yeah? Well, I've been known to spend a lot of time bushwhacking if necessary to get to the real crux of a muff dive.

Without seeming to be boastful I am a damn good muff diver...

Hey, DFA, if the situation's dire, maybe the heavy cutbacks are warranted. Nobody's ever called me Adolf before... MeatGoat, still haven't gotten the brevity msg, have ya? You might win some supporters if ya just CONDENSE IT!

quote: Meanwhile Not A Climber who was seated in the back of a classroom at Bellevue CC working on his Spray Certification noticed someone across the aisle with a nose that looked oddly familiar... ...someone with a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma...a steamy little...

If we are in fact changing the planet's climate as a result of our human activities, who among us could be against these modest proposals, which would yield results in just a generation or two: 1) institute mass spaying/neutering programs in nations whose indiginous populations are still growing. 2) on a worldwide basis, eliminate automobiles, and the internal combustion engine, immediately.

This thread is annoying because those posting on both sides of the issue on this thread do not know how to SUMMARIZE!!! It is an interesting issue, however, precisely because 1. humans tend to over-estimate their influence on the universe (it's an ego thing). 2. humans have a very hard time sorting out trends that transcend human history. Hell, I don't want humanity to change the climate. But I also want to get at the real facts. And I have this sneakin' suspicion that one good volcanic eruption can have more effect on climate than 100 years of human activity.

What Jimmyleg said.. It's not about telling anybody else about what I'm doing. But it is an internal challenge about getting to the top, and telling yourself that before you die, you've seen some beautiful stuff that others can't/won't muster the energy to see. Call it the gumby mindset if you want. I took this up too damn late to ever get good at it like you lucky bums. BTW I'm on a bus. trip, typing this from a shitty motel room in Indianola, MS. And BB King ain't even in town...shit.

DFA, you MUST be trolling for a pissfest on this one. I always knew that Ed Asner was a dipshit.
