MRGT- I'm with you man, i've been watching the yankees series and the boys are looking good. ICHIRO!!!

<moving topic to spray> I actually grew up in Texas, close! My cousin is from Eastern Washington, so there may be some validity to your argument. Even though the spray is flowing already... I'm serious about her skills.

char would be really pissed at me if she knew i threw in that last line at the end, but hey, it helps. i'm sure spray will floweth from this thread, but seriously the massage worked wonders for me. nothing like having your cousin rub you down with hot oil to pass time on a tuesday afternoon ya know?

I have never really been a believer in the benefits of a proffesional massage, but now I am a follower. The past couple of weeks, my right knee has been ailing me, I'm not sure why, but it was preventing me from climbing/hiking. Anyhow, my cousin Charlene gave me a massage for my b-day (she works at the Aveda spa in Seattle) and myyyyy does my knee/leg feel like a million bucks today. I know from personal experience, and from reading this forum, that alot of us abuse our bodies and have some serious aches and pains, and I think if you have yet to try massage to heal some of these pains, you are missing out. Anyhow, just wanted to say how well it worked for me, and make a shameless plug for my cousin's skills... she's a graduate of the breneke school of massage, has been doing this for years, and does body work for clients out of her house near green lake. BTW she's 28, snowboarder, plab, attractive, single, and plays this cool trippy music when you get a massage . Let me know if any of you are interested... timdcrawford@yahoo.com

spray happens man, spray happens

I believe someone asked me what spary was when I started up this category... well you need not look further... its up to your chest on this thread. very entertaining!

Jon told me we have a flier posted at Vworld in Seattle, and someone rightfully wrote "spray fest" on the sign. I can deny it, we all spray at times, and many of us are addicted to reading spray all day while at work. Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad, but I believe spray is here to stay. But, lets try to keep it isolated to this forum, that way folks can quickly look in the climbers board for non-spray threads. I'll move any threads that become spray fests to this forum. That way those whom can't get enough spray in their day can find it all in one convenient place! Spray away boys and girls!

these guys sound cool, and I bet they're real bad arse climberz. i say we pass the hat i'll throw in some of my amazon stock for the cause

I honestly don't remember, I know we started around 8, and were eating dinner in a fancy eatery called Spiffy's by 6. Check the route books for specific stats on elevation gain, time needed for travel. If you are taking a group up for rope travel practice, this of course will increase your trip time, but some of the slopes might give you guys a good chance to practice some arrest skills. But if you are looking for true glacier travel practice, I think you should head up to the nisqually! Have fun, you should have beautiful weather and views from the rim of the crater. Be sure to write up a TR. TIMMAY

I did the worm flow route in april of last year from the lower parking lot (not the climbers bivoauc) and it is a very non-technical route. And yes, you will be accompanied by some 'bilers all the way to the crater. Watch out for flying schmidt and used oil cans. The route is just a long slog, but you do need to be concerned about avlanche. The slopes above the tree line are prime targets for slides, especially when heated up by the afternoon sun. I didn't use crampons or snowshoes at all on my trip up to the crater, but I would reccomend bringing your board(s) if you are into that sort of thing because it would be a great ride! Just be sure to check the avalanche forecasts before you head up, and use precaution on avalanche prone slopes. have fun! t

mr bully himself should be chiming in here pretty soon. just sensless stuff, and i got sick of it. its one thing to spray on an established thread, but to start new ones, dats not cool

... for being the first user ever banned from the boards! Spray is ok around here, but sensless Spray just ain't ok.

does anyone know where to get some boots re-soled here in seatown? I need to get some hiking boots resoled, i suppose I should just buy a new pair but I really like these bad boys. true true timmy

ohh, the tears seem to be flowing on this thread if you are interested in going to denali, email or PM the thread starter. >>CLOSED<<

Whitehorse, Darrington WA 3/10/2001 team cascadeclimbers.com (tim and jon) decided to go for the early season favorite of whitehorse today. their up to the minute trip report has been sent to cascadeclimbers.com headquarters via a live sattelite feed sponsored by qUerKeA torts impersion. cut the marketing here's the report: *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* TIM: After a full night of closet tweaking, i finally got into the sack around 12am. I knew i had to pick up jon at 5, but figured i could sleep in and be late, because his arse is always late to pick me up So I got to his house at 5:15, and our adventure began. JON: When tim picked me up, a very odd stench filled his truck. I couldn't quite figure out what the smell exactly was, but it was mix between dirty bannana hamock drawerz fust and schmidt. This was going to be a long ride to darrington. TIM: I really don't like Everett. No offense, but it is my least favorite part of going to the N. Cascades. JON: I like McDonalds. The warm site of the arches brings goose bumps to my skin, and a rumble to my stomach. I persauded Tim to pull over in Smokey Point so we could commence in a pre-emptive mass chubafest. TIM: This was by far the most interesting trip to McDonalds, ever. Our order was taken by a young cooed who strangely resembled Jon's current obssession, Britney Spears. I figured this was a good sign, and knew that everything from this point on was going to be plab. JON: Super Delux breakfast platters are might tasty, and give my body the feul I need to climb without bonking. Our dining experience was accompanied by some tasy Salsa tunes blaring over the loudspeakers. Tim and I were waiting for the dancers to come poppping out of the ball maze and ask us if we'd like more chips and salsa. TIM: So I figure we should really get to the trip report Jon, querkea is paying good money for this sat-phone. JON: Yeah I guess so WHILLHANS: TRUE TRUE TIM/JON: Who the hell was that guy??? TIM: I don't know, but he scares the hell out of me. JON: OK, so we got onto the trail A(Niederpum) at 8am, and the trail really kicked my arse for the first 1/2 hour. TIM: Sally. JON: But we got to the snow slope that lead up to Lone Tree Pass in no time. TIM: There was snow on the first avalanche slope, but not a whole lot, besides that the trail was nice and steep, and in good shape. JON: Luckily we brought our snow shoes, because we were post holin to all hell heading up to Lone Tree. TIM: Luckily, for Jon, I broke trail the whole time <JON sheds some tears> JON: While hiking up, the sun attempted to peak out, but the fog prevailed, and engulfed the whole mountain. TIM: We felt as if we were in the classic movie filmed on Whitehorse, I forgot what its called, but it felt like that. JON: We spoted AVALANCHE debris in the gully leading to lone tree pass. The debris were very fresh, too fresh for our likings. TIM: Seeing this, we decided to chub again, and wait for the fog to clear. We engaged in pleasant coversation about the virtues of torts impersion, by querka (sorry for the plug) JON: While chubbing we heard another avalance rip down the slopes above, and we decided that this wasn't fun anymore. It began to snow, and the durs were running for cover. TIM: Since I am a total sally, I proclaimed that I feel like a fair-weathered climber today, and don't feel like triggering off a slide and thus burying myself and missing next weeks all new Dawson's Creek on the WB. JON: You are such a tool. TIM: I know. JON: So we hiked out and ran into a party of three (with threee dogs) without snow shoes or axes. We sprayed them with our warnings and tales of avalanche risk ahead, but they were unfazed. TIM: dude. WHILLHANS: True, True. TIM: Go away dude! JON: That is all from the field, we will be submitting our next report soon. Please stay tuned to cascadeclimbers.com *^*^*^*^*^*^*^ End of transmission
