Pfft! My son is already corrupted. Your daughters taught him the "S" word.

This is what I find most puzzling: it was apparent - days in advance - that something major was about to happen. It was apparent that a major population centre was going to be at or very near the epicentre, and that it was unusually vulnerable to this type of event. Wouldn't we use the advance warning period to start mobilizing resources, and getting them in position ready to move in as soon after the quake as possible? Wouldn't we use that warning period assembling stockpiles of food and clean water and medicine, rescue and medical personnel, security forces, transportation...? I find it hard to believe, but by all appearances there was absolutely no advance preparation done at all, despite the clear indication that this was a massive hurricane heading directly toward a major population centre that was known to be particularly vulnerable. Bush was on vacation.

All I know is that there is someting strangely sweet and alluring when you look up at those ribs from the Cascade River Road. Gotta Go. Gotta See My fantasy has been to ski the C-J Couloir. Not a healthy inclination I'm sure...

Middle America has that "keep it simple, stupid" mentality. And they aren't too comfortable with people having better sex than them. Or Niggers for that matter. And the thought of Brown/Yellow/Red people getting ahead really ticks them off.

I find it interesting that there is so much looting. Was this the case in indonesia, Somalia and india after the tsunami?! This is a telling event and it is troubling to watch it unfold.

The link has some "Infernal Server Error" problem. I'm drunk and it is a good time to get money out of me. Can you help...?! Bill E. Goat

Chat is still there but it functions weird. I can see the top of the "active topics" page but I can't get to it. Is anyone else interested in chat? With Muffy not present and getting on with her life it does seem a bit empty...

U.S. YOUTH CLIMBING TEAM HEADS TO CHINA Forty-three American climbers between the ages of 14 and 19 are attending the 2005 World Youth Championship in Beijing, China, Aug. 25-28. The youths will compete in three age groups in lead climbing and speed; more than 350 young climbers from around the world will be competing. The U.S. team was chosen in early July in Massachusetts at a comp organized by USA Climbing (www.usaclimbing.org). The AAC, as the U.S. member of the UIAA, is the sanctioning body for competition climbing in the United States, and has designated USA Climbing as the sport's governing organization. To see how the U.S. climbers fared, visit www.icc-info.org Lead climbing as a competitive sport That seems kinda baked

ANAM 2005 covers accidents that happened in 2004. It takes them till August to compile edit and print the books.

Whoa, nice work

I don't want any commie handouts from that terrorist sympathizer

Archenemy = dude No girl would ever say it that way...

My DNA is all over the internet.

I read that more carbon is actually put into the atmosphere in the manufacture of SUVs than from their fuel consumption over an average on road life span, by like a factor of two. So, keeping an old vehicle on the road longer is way better than continually buying new ones. That said, my 1980 Jetta with a 1.6 liter engine was getting 40mpg and had over 300,000 miles on it when I finally retired it. And my previous vehicle, a 1977 Chevy Blazer with a 350 V8 only got 12 mpg, but I still squeezed 330,000 miles out of it and it is still running as a piece of mining equipment in Colorado.

I don't know but I have a few dried ones right here in front of me. I found them along a road, in similar conditions, this past July, in central Colorado near the Wyoming border. They are really sweet smelling.

Thanks man! I tried to PM you but your account is full up Are you planning on hiting the slide show as well?

I'd like to make this. Anyone have some floor space, a couch or bed I could surf. In advance

I was in Colorado poaching lines when this went down. Way to go guys! What a great traverse. Seems everyone is out getting it done and traverses are de rigueur this season. Cheers

That's the spirit Matt!

Hmmmm.....Aid?! (I've climbed with Matt as well (solid), just keeping this up at the top of the "Active Topics" page to better his chances)

Solid rock would attract more replies. Adventure climbing or beta based?

OMG she was SOOOO Hot! It was intimidating

I don't think many peeps under 40 are going to get that one E

I fuckin' love it! What a great effort. It is such an obvious line. Way to go guys
