Me too, I'm voting Will_Strickland in 2004

I'm voting for Will.

Just be sure to bring up to a number 3 Cramalot for the first pitch of Calculus proper (ie not the "bushy" approach pitches.) Other than that you should be golden.

-burn at less than full speed -buy decent blanks, no 100 for $10 jobbies -use the test function of the burning software -don't try and do other stuff at the same time on your computer if it is slow -copy the original to your hard drive first

Bling bling!! I found a dime on the way down from Muir the other day... PM the year, and I'll return it to you.

Sheesh don't you listen??? She said to email or PM her with questions...

It is in the Alpine Select, as well as the old (92?) Squamish guide.

There's a rescue sled at Muir anyways, no need to try and hide one in your pack.

heh I was hoping for a big display on Rainier on Friday night, but no such luck...

Climb: Rainier-Dissapointment Cleaver Date of Climb: 7/23/2004 Trip Report: How Rainier did me in 40 hours Squam to Squam_ Our planned Kautz Glacier trip quickly turned into a single push on the DC after getting a good look at conditions from paradise, and hearing reports of multiple people getting hit by rockfall on the approach, and a very active icefall... Since we couldn't get a permit for the DC at that point in the day, we decided to try it in a single push. Sum total is, that the Rainier newbie got his asskicked, and it was well deserved. Made it to Cathedral Gap way behind schedule, and watched the sky lightening, as I slowly got more and more hypothermic, on the hottest day of the year. WTF??? :crosseyes: Tried to get some sleep at Muir, and was too cold, so I left Pandora there sawing logs, and hiked down into the blessed sunshine. Conditions were better than I expected, given that it wasn't supposed to freeze up high. I'll be back, maybe even this year, if only to get my ice screws back from the posthole machine. Gear Notes: had stuff, shoulda had a down jacket despite very warm temps. Approach Notes: Not much parking at Paradise after 12 on a Friday... Snow from Pebble Creek up. [edit] Hmmm, I just got a PM from someone saying "Good job" I guess I didn't make it that clear that Cathedral Gap was as high as I got, that leaves a lot of mountain still left to go for next time... [/edit]

I don't know what you need, but we had major headaches here trying to run a VPN system on a wired Linksys router. Ended up having to buy a D-Link DI-624 router (wireless), and everything works smoothly now.

I have heard the same thing about the B-C descent as dberdinka mentions, that 60m is GOOD.

Hmmm... it is hard to answer your questions as they are very general, but I will try. If you are comfortable with the tennies and crampons, then you will probably be OK with that, I have seen that done there. However you are probably going to want your hikers for the way in anyways, so... Gear gets stashed for some routes (Kain Route, W ridge Pidgeon) and carried over for others (NE Ridge of Bugaboo, Beckey-Chouinard almost anything on Snowpatch), it really depends on what route you are talking about. 60m ropes... I would guess that you will be able to get away with a 50m and a tag line for raps, but you know the trade off of doing longer pitches, etc. Some of the harder, new routes require 60's or even 70's(?), I think. Read the guidebook. The new one by mark Piche from Elaho Publishing is the better of the two.

Alpine Club of Canada clubhouse...

This link says yes, there is water...

My girl found that the ArcTeryx alpine model (Verro??) was indeed the best fitting... not a girly harness, but it has adjustable leg loops, and it seems to have a fairly long rise. Also has excellent finishing, so no sharp bits that dig in or anything. The real trick is to get the harness on in the store, and hang in it for a while. Any good shop will have somewhere set up to hang from. If they don't, well you probably don't wanna buy there anyways. Otherwise... what Dru says.

55 minutes, not bad, once again, OR is in the lead... WA took 1:07 in my thread...

If you like Spring corn then the master of stoke is in Bend...

Easy enough, go climbing with a pretty girl, he'll find you.

I thought they were giving up the prison labour thing anyways...

Haha, implying that Kurt's a liar, that's rich. As for the "right" to use the truck, I'd say yes. The chainsaw, well, I'd like to see the soccer mom using one... Really I can't even understand why anyone would want an SUV, especially these days. That's why I think that people who do drive them are kinda dumb to start with... First take is that the law you are talking about above sounds a bit ridiculous though. Hard to say really without knowing anything about it though. I would never argue that there are not extremists on both sides of every issue.

Do you have a line on 4 stroke chainsaws??? Yeah it's the other guy who will be responsible for making sure he burns cleaner fuel in the truck that gets used as a truck, even if it costs more, not AlpineK... Oh, wait... Sounds to me like Kurt is purting his money where his mouth is.

smg - are you a rep or something? you seem to be pushing this thing a lot...

1/2 lb??? Lightweight... try 1-1/2 lbs.
