What he means is that he didn't have a clue where he was at the time, but he did have a GPS with him.

Gowans, I had no idea the climbing yesterday was THAT scary for you. Feeling lucky be be home in one piece? Just kidding, mate.

Everything tastes like chicken. Everything gives you cancer.

Leejams and I took a look at the South Rib on our way to the South Spur last year. The protection looked sparse. What was it like? Easy enough to not require protection or what?

Last time I checked Leuthold's Couloir is on Mt. Hood.

I did it in 1999 on snowshoes and wished I had had skis. This year you should be able to reach it on skis into May. Go for it. If you plan on climbing Adams, I suggest you camp on top of South Butte at ca. 8,000 ft. There are good views and it is far less windy than the lunch counter.

He was hoisted by his own petard. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

The answer to the question is dependent on marital status and whether SO/Spouse like winter climbing.

spain dint go to war in iraq. wtf? Spain provided troops for non-combat roles such as anti-mine and medical support.

Climb: Castle and Pinnacle Peaks-South Face Date of Climb: 3/13/2004 Trip Report: JGowans, matthew and I drove down from Seattle and arrived just after the gate opened at 8 am. After a fair amount of fiddlefarting around at the Narada Falls parking lot we were off at 9 am. The snow was hard enough that we carried our snowshoes, but half way up the slope we started postholing and had to put them on. Walked Stevens Creek road to Reflection Lakes and caught up with a couple of older gentlemen who were out to climb The Castle. They asked us to Gear Notes: Don't need a rope for Castle, you are confident at downclimbing. Most would want a rope to descend from Pinnacle. Brought crampons, but didn't really need them. Brought a picket and fluke- used the fluke once below the gully on Pinnacle. Brought a small rock rack, but didn't need it. Approach Notes: Need snowshoes or skis for the hike out on the road.

Lob a few stink bombs at them in the dark. That'll clear 'em out. Either that or just go down the road by the river where it is quiet. Winter once said you could find some 14 year old hotties fresh from rehab looking for some action down there.

43% and a "Pretty Serious Climber". Both tests were pretty funny. I know E-cock wanted to find out who the gay climbers were, but I see he isn't getting the information he was after.

We have four cats and a dog that come and go, as they please, through a doggy door set into the bottom of our back door. The doggy door has been there for about five years. We recently acquired a second dog, a Dalmatian, named Maggie. Maggie is new to dog doors and somehow she managed to dislodge the flexible plastic door flap so that cold air was coming in. Before snapping the flap back into place, I decided it would be a good idea to wash it because it had a brownish grey goop on it. So I took it to the sink in the kitchen and ran hot water over it and used a sponge with some baking soda to it. It turns out that the grey goop was congealed snot and drool from countless passages of animals back and forth. When wet it reverted to its native conformation which is essentially snot-like and gelatinous. It had a pungent odor which is very difficult to describe. Suffice it to say you would have had to have been there to get the full effect. Anyway, the flap cleaned up nicely and is again doing its job of collecting nose slime and keeping the cold out, hopefully for the next five years.

The human needs a manicure.

I forgot to mention, to my knowledge, Simpson had only one or two ice screws with him.

Dru, you are a bad boy. The answer is all they had for an anchor was loose snow. There was no ice around that would take a screw. If Simpson had been able to reach the cliff face, he might have gotten a screw in there, but he was dangling in the air.

Wow, it is a tight race. No telling who will win.

As abominable as her actions were she cannot be held responsible for murder. It is not within the law. If society cares enough about unborn children of insane persons it should pass a law that allows temporary committment of pregnant women by a court order. I still believe that if a sane person decides not to consent to surgery that should be respected.

Can it be the moors (muslims) are still sore about being kicked out of Spain in 1609?

No entry found for wirlwind. Did you mean whirlwind? Suggestions: whirlwind hurlwind withwind wieland worland tailwind passwind Okay, I cheated and added that last one.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! Samuel Taylor Coleridge might have been writing about Shasta, but more likely it was the opium.

The pundits are saying that the Spaniard will turn against their president if it is is established that the bombing was the work of Al Qaida. This is because 90% of the populace was against the Iraq war. I don't think this will happen. In fact I think that Spain will become more unified in the fight against terrorists.

u missspelled my name damit I started doing that a long time ago and now I can't stop.

Pretty girls wearing Prana tops at Vantage.

I would like to campaign on behalf of wrlwind. While certainly his spelling sucks ass he deserves credit for attempting the more difficult words which he uses to express advanced concepts.
