Old dude, sounds like you were near this spot when you turned back?

I kind of agree. I just want a good jacket, or whatever, I don't want to contribute to the soothing of Yvon's karma. This is a pretty cool NPR segment. Hope it hasn't been posted here. Check it out: Chouinard on NPR

Yeah, those fucking pants are ridiculous. $70. Sheesh

Hmph. I always thought that was Billie Holliday. So much for my blues knowledge.

I haven't seen any photos on the web. I guess its just too insignificant. I've climbed this mountain many times, the latest time being this past November 1st. I have some great pictures that I'll try to remember to scan in and post (if I can figure out how)/e-mail to you.

Yeah, and it comes with a little bit of vegan stuffing and some crappy "drumsticks". God it's gross, and I've been vegetarian since '97. The problem with most vegetarian food is it tries to pass itsself off as the real thing. If they would just be content with being healthier it would be cool. Instead, you get Tofurkey. Yech!

A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn, alludes to it.

Anyone done the Washington-Ellinor traverse? I keep seeing it every time I go up one or the other, but haven't had a chance to go yet. From Washington, the first part of the ridge looks pretty sporty as it heads out over the blowdown toward Peak "A".
