You definitely don't need to have blood loss to have shock. You don't even need to have injury.

The forecast is looking better for this evening. It's not raining now according to radar. I've got my gear with me. So where do we carpool from now that the Issaquah Park and Ride is closed? Did someone say Exit 18 park and ride?

These are the same people who are complaining that too much of their property taxes are going to the King County Library System.

Most of the range is in people's heads. It's a couple of millimeters. However, what you are referring to is the Camalot's ability to really get small when completely retracted. That's where those millimeters pay. The tips don't come around and bump on the other side, the way Metolius do for example. This results from the shorter arc length of the Camalot.

Supersize those fries, will ya?

I part of this story that I liked was that the very last thing the bastard saw before he died was the face of an American soldier. Poetic justice is what that is called.

Way cool!

I saw the news report and they interviewed the guy's buddies. I didn't recognize either of them. From what I gathered the guy was scrambling up some ledges, perhaps to set up a top rope, and he slipped.

AWD is overrated. You don't need it and such cars get worse gas mileage than those with front wheel drive.

Mr. Fox, that would make you a price-insensitive cam buyer. Stay out of Club Sensitivioso, if you please. Everyone else, say after me: FEWER CAMS, FEWER CAMS, FEWER CAMS

Anyone for Exit 38 on Thursday, June 15, assuming it doesn't rain?

Why don't you just explain the situation to us exactly as it is? You are dancing all around on this. You don't have to say where it is, but is it your route?

There were people there. You just missed us. I saw mattp, AlpineK, Dave_Shuldt, Jens and Nick. I heard that marylou had been in earlier.

Not even the redesigned camalots are lighter than Tech Friends. They are almost, but not quite as light.

While it may be true that they walk less, it wouldn't be because of the reasons you cite.

Lock and Keel tonight. See you there.

I can only imagine the joy you must be feeling right now.

Troll!

First Ascent of Nisqually Cleaver was on June 19, 1967 by Fred Dunham and Jim Wickwire according to Mount Rainier, A Climbing Guide by Mike Gauthier (1999).

Given he title of this thread, somebody just has to say it. You get what you pay for.

Not a bad choice, and it was always Klenke's favorite.

Not sure anyone can get off work early enough, but I and a couple of friends will be heading up to Mt. Erie this afternoon. We'll be carpooling at 2:30 pm from that abandoned restraunt parking lot at the Arlington exit. I think it's exit 208.

I tangled with a guy who needed to get a speeding ticket. I pulled out of my parking lot at work today and looked both ways and turned left. After a couple of driveways, this green Jetta careens around me on the right and cuts in front of me, stopping at the light where we both waited to make a left. He sat there like a freaking maniac, screeching obscenities out the window like Ozzy Osbourne. I guess he felt I had pulled out in front of him, but the way I figure it, he must have been going 70 or 80 in a 30 mph zone. After the light turned he was all over the place. Couldn't stay in any one lane. It was bizarre.

Point taken.

Many years ago my wife was pulled over in her '62 Corvette for going 120 mph at 2 am on the Corona Del Mar Freeway. She explained that she had to open her up every once in a while to clean out the four barrel carburetor. The cop only wanted to see under the hood and off she went with no ticket.
