Time to buy a jetski.

Oly, will you be wearing your pushup bra?

Don't confuse the Nisqually Ice Cliff route for Nisqually Ice Fall. These are very different. There is much less risk of crevasse fall on the Ice Cliff route because much of it is not on glacier.

Many times I've looked up at that awesome wall and wondered whether anyone has done anything on it. No one has been able to tell me a thing. No more wondering. Nice job guys.

Ah, the stuff that chain letters are made of.

When you are a lawyer you are paid to win. You do what you gotta do.

It has not been cold enough until now. Give it a few days.

Finally, we get it direct from the horse's mouth.

I've heard Colin call that "simulsoloing".

Sure, but i doubt it would be followed by 3 pages of ass kissing from a bunch of dirty old men if it wasn't some young climber chic. I doubt it would even get mentioned here. Dirty old man gremlin -->

I don't know of anyone doing that route solo before in winter male or female. And I don't think I was trying to manufacture drama, just giving a simple thumbs up to a really nice young person, who if you ever met her you'd agree.

There is a subset of people who delight in doing whatever signs tell them not to do.

You should make an offering to the mountain goddess for treating you with such benevolence.

He's basically calling some of his colleagues idiots. These are people that he are his "coworkers" with whom he will have to interact with for the rest of his and their lives. It's pretty stupid if you ask me.

His remarks to the Federalist Society How did such an intemperate and undignified man become justice of the highest court in the land? Oh, wait, don't answer that.

Great writing. You made my day!

A few years ago, I think it was May 1999, I went in from a snow park in the south. It was a big snow year, in any case. Above the Lunch Counter, we met a Frenchman on skis who told us he drove up some random logging road on the west side and just started skinning up through the trees. Sounded a lot shorter than what we did, assuming you could find your way back to your car.
