i know we've got a few posters here from spokavegas. what do you see as the pros and cons of living there. i mean everything from cost of living to climbing.

we covered it all i think, climbing at the crag, ski up peak and then ski down, lame hike up rattlesnake ridge (partner will have to write that TR), more climbing, easter stuff w/family, driving.

while the practical side of this idea is outstanding, it could bring the wrath of CPS upon you. might i suggest a healthy serving of grape flavored dimetapp. works like a charm

i think i'm glad we decided we didn't want to drive all the way to the TH after reading your TR! hope you had fun anyway.

i think i might be "in" for the spring ski "in"

i think i'll be there late on friday. we'll be chasing a skinny 9 yr old w/an attitude.

PETA had a good concept they just go waaaaaaaaaaaay too far. cruelty towards animals is unacceptable plain and simple. if you domesticate an animal or take responsibility for a domesticated animal (pets, livestock etc) it is your duty to provide reasonable food, shelter and care for that animal. h/e it's just way too insane to think that an omnivorous species (humans) should all become vegans. just plain nuts. note: i myself am largely vegetarian, consuming the occasionally tasty fishy.

yay! the dairy freeze. but i'm only going if rumr does!

sunday morning we had a couple of hours before the obligatory visit to the family so we got up early and headed up to e38. we climbed a couple routes to warm up. while i was at about the second bolt of a route i see some guy come blazing up by himself. he looks agitated. he starts poking at the gear from 2 girls who were climbing next to us. he asks my partner if it's ours and he says no. about this time i'm at the chains setting up to rap down and the rest of this guy's heard show up. the gals who had climbed the route next to us had rapped down and were climbing something else. we had planned to do that route next. stress case has laid a rope at the bottom of that pitch. jumped on the pitch i had just climbed with one of his heard. 2 more were setting up a tr on another route and there was still one more hanging out idly. none of this would really have bothered me except that a) the guy was rude to my partner b) was considering messing w/someone elses stuff c) had thrown a rope at the bottom of route that no one was going to climb for a bit. it was just plain rude. don't be rude at the crag. just b/c you want to climb it at some point doesn't mean you should tie it up until you're ready.

NBBG is better than the Mt Si in terms of smoke and food. Frankly, though that place sucks. Rogues is better.

the short answer is: it depends how much you dilute the base in water.

as a long time resident of the pacific northwet it makes me worry about summer. we could be using up our allotment of nice days.

i want to.... but i can't go for that long then. try again in september

"DKDC"

well the obvious answer is this: it's proof that the brain that does the real thinking isn't covered by pants.

hey! the guy at rei told me the fukame stilletos were an excellent approach shoe. i thought he meant for route not a man.

ok let me rephrase....she'll be in the same area code as you guys. she might even let you buy her a beer. i wouldn't count on being allowed to touch or carry her gear though

cc.com doesn't to sponsor this hottie. cc.com has icegirl. she's hot and she climbs and she'll actually talk to you guys

hey that's my line! except i wouldn't charge!

it's so nice to see iaxx flirting w/dfa again.

hey there's people with trust funds that like to climb too.

b/c we never would've heard about this on the news

someone left a nice locker on the chains on a route at e38 that my partner bootied last year. it may not be the most expensive piece ever found but it sure was the easiest to clean!

as far as i'm concerned all slab should be at least .12a slab suck

they're great in the deep snow. i take mine for a walk in the snow a lot of mornings. the bound in and out of the deep stuff, hide in tree wells and chase each other, and all around make me laugh. they're even great for breaking trail in the fresh stuff. watch out though...they'll step on your tails and mess you up when you're skiing or snowshoeing. i wouldn't take mine to the crag though...they're ill behaved rogues and would bark endlessly.
