Jon, I don't mean to talk smack, but why are you squatting 300 and deadlifting 215? Are you doing really high reps on deadlift? I've always found deadlift to be a stronger lift than squats, as has every workout partner I've had. I'm sure it's probably just part of your training strategy, but I like to hear about different workouts. Once upon a time after a back injury I got back into deadlifts by doing sets of 20 and increasing the weight every week. I love that fall down and watch the stars feeling after a good set of deadlifts. That's some kinda high.

Dead lifts and squats rule!!!!!! I'm gonna go do some this afternoon. Just be careful and learn good form when you start, so as not to bust a gut. Stitches to the abdomen are aid.

It's all about the double helix and the medula oblongata. And lotsa and .

I would like to say I don't really think climbers are pussies. Climbers are the greatest, especially when they make a nice boot pack up something fun to ski. Peace be with you all

Nice troll. I won't reply to this, but I would just like to say I think it is bullshit. Now I'll leave this thread alone for all you pussy climbers who don't have the good sense and style to carry an extra twenty pounds up the mountain, and turn the approach and descent into a party. And I'd be happy to dunk on any of you in a game of hoops at your local indoor gym. -A rich white snob, who used to live in PDX and liked it there

If you like to jump stuff, there can be a small problem unless your skis are stiff. They have the same problem as the regular Fritschis. When you land, and your ski flexes (more the softer the ski), the bar on the binding stays the same length, and your heel will easily come free when the end of the bar escapes the lockdown part of the heel piece. No big deal, but something to consider.

All my fingers are back to normal. The worst one is some fraction of a mm shorter, and they get cold really easy. Other than that, no problems. You're all so jealous of my cool pictures and free meals (insurance) from a night in the hospital now.

It could take a while, but as long as it doesn't discolor and then turn black, don't worry. Hell, even if it does discolor and turn black, don't worry. Don't worry until it falls off, and then it's not worth worrying any more. I didn't realize my situation until I got down the mountain and took my gloves off. It can just kinda sneak up on you like that. I'll bet someone already got it, but... frosty

All right, my dog still rules, but here's one to show some of the crevasse action on the lower glacier:

Cool frozen waterfall between upper and lower north face: Our quicker option: I'd show more pictures but my dog rules, so forget it: Who wants to go send the waterfall?

How about some weekend in February? I'd definitely be willing to skin up to Cloudcap pulling a pony keg. That sounds worthwhile in and of itself. Maybe get drunk, talk some smack, and commence with an extreme skiing send-fest. I wonder if we could get Extremo Mtn Dude to show?

That does look like a fun climb. Should we have a cc.com event with a keg at Cloud Cap and go for it free-for-all style once everyone's smashed? Iain, is that a camel?

N_C: Whuz happenin? We probably COULD have just soloed, but watching Jeff scares me sometimes, so we used running belays on several sections. I set up one real belay where there was an icy step into the couloir we used to get to the upper glacier. I'll post some pictures this evening, the frozen waterfall was way cool.

Dru said: That's all conjecture. What I wanna know is this: Is sex possible in eleven dimensions? Furthermore, if you position yourself properly, maybe all the water generated while digging the cave can drip into a dimension that's curled into a loop too small to observe, leaving the snow camper dry and cozy in their four-dimensional realm of experience (space-time). I don't trust a string theory unless it's 9mm+ and treated to be water resistant, with a belay partner on the other end who has 10^6 essentials for every unit volume in phase space.

That site's a bunch of lame, made-up bullshit, and all the pictures were taken at Mt Baker Ski Area. What a joke. Who is that gaper?

I don't know if anyone will be attracted by such a description, Jeff, but if you promise to off yourself before the end of the first day, I could probably miss ONE day of school. I'll expect you to give me your bank cards and access numbers, in addition to cell phone and car keys.

That's sick, Dru! But remember, WINGS ARE AID!

Yeah MaryLou, why don't you just offer to buy Beck dinner and a beer? Here's an AT lesson, photo courtesy of All_You_Can_Eat: The 1:37 post, I'm loser number one!

Good to see the lummox avatar back.

What's a soriety? Is that like the sorry society of would-be sorority girls? Do the frat boys turn to them while the sorority girls are in Fiji? (I apologize ahead of time for nitpicking spelling, but with the many repetitions, somebody had to do it.)
