Some sample dialogue: "D00d! Don't tell me you forgot the second set of hybrid Aliens! This is gonna be epic!"

We'll have a web cam installed at Pineapple Pass. It will have a satellite feed.

Okay got the partner and the destination. Just need the okay from the boss.

Eh! You talkin' ta me!

It sure seems like tomorrow would be a good day to get out locally and do something alpine. It hasn't snowed since Saturday. The days have been warm and the nights cold (at least last night).

What is the name of the crag located SW of Mt. Teneriffe in the lower portion of R9E, Section 6 just above a logging spur that runs East-West? Anyone know anything about it?

You'd have to ask for one volunteer. That person would post that he/she was willing to make the call. You, in turn, would be responsible for posting back to the thread to say you have returned or else get the number of the volunteer. It gets complicated quickly.

Layton! You got competition!

That's pretty subjective, I should think. That will vary from year to year. If you want to climb it this year, you had better get on it now!

Hey, this is the sort of thing that happens to experienced climbers all the time.

You know you are in the Northwest when climbers talk about espresso machines.

That's a very good one, Mr. Natural! Explain how it would work in more detail, though.

So in India and China, they abort females and in Saudi Arabia they change sexes. Sooner or later, females will be in such short supply that perhaps they will be appreciated.

The one in my neighboorhood has mostly front loaders and two or three enormous front loaders that are ideal for doing things like bulky sleeping bags.

I'd rather not name names.

I want to see all moderators and administrators held to a higher standard. When people see these people occasionally flaunting the rules, they figure, "hey, why should I have to follow rules when they don't?"

Dude, they are all over the place!

It's really quite simple. We have a system for licensing doctors. It exists for a very good reason. These people are not doctors and are not licensed.

Right. Anyone who doesn't hate other races, must hate his own race? Isn't that the idea?

No we skipped the haystack. Probably, someone thought they needed that line to descend or maybe they thought they were doing good by leaving it. I have a favorite saying about weird knots: "if you don't know how to tie a good knot, tie lots of 'em".

Hike: Mt. Si to Mt. Teneriffe Traverse Date of Hike: 4/2/2006 Trip Report: This hike was Jimbabwe's idea. Roboboy and I came along for the ride. We left Roboboy's car at the Teneriffe trailhead where we met two fellows getting ready to do Teneriffe. We piled into my car and drove to the Little Si parking lot. Starting at about 9:45 am, we headed up the old Si trail, running into friend Ike on the way. The trail was slippery packed snow as usual near the top. We reached the summit at 11:45 and followed some old snowshoe prints along the ridge towards Teneriffe. Jim seemed to be unusually full of energy, because he led the whole way. Since the snowshoe prints had been put down coming the other way and downhill, we had to make these huge strides. The only way to do it was to move fast and keep the momentum up. Thus it only took an hour to get to the summit of Teneriffe. The first part of the descent was rather treacherous as the snow was slushy and thin. We soon caught up to the two we had met earlier. They had been to the summit just before us. Jim found a shortcut through a clear cut. You all realize that this is an oxymoron. Fortunately, it wasn't long before we reached a well-maintained logging spur and easy going. We spied a rock wall above that looked pretty clean. Sharp-eyed Roboboy picked out a set of chains up there. I wonder what the climbing is like. We decided mountain bikes would be ideal to reach this crag. Gear Notes: Boots, ski poles. Snow shoes might have been nice on the traverse.

I got a girlfriend that's better than that Now everyone's getting involved She's moving up going right through my heart We might not ever get caught

Tried and true already? Do you mean to say that you've taken whippers on all of them?

I call bullshit. It's not double taxation. Double taxation is something altogether different.
