i had the pleasure of climbing with diestel32 and he saw just how much i suxoor. he is a fine young lad, the future of WA Climbing. this weekend: fri - wandering the desert east of bend in search of the sacred crag of HC sat - wanking sunday working and skiing freshiez of course

i think i only took like 5-10 shits tops in the backcountry last year. i didn't get out on many extended trips, when i go on overnighters, my pooping cycle changes, its very odd

at this point in time, i won't be able to make it. i'm without my truck this weekend, so unless i can mooch a ride up there, and somewhere back, eg pdx or something, i'm fahqed. i know diestel32 is in town, but not sure what way or when he is heading back north if i do find a ride, i will bring some obsidian stout

i think you should take whatever money you are going to spend on snowshoes and get yourself some AT skis, you'll enjoy your time much more, and it makes descents way plabber

firm small tits in the lead, fascinating!

no worries, just wanted ot let you in on my new theory ohhh fellow turd burglar

warning, if you are going to be near mazama or perhaps washington pass, i hear the area is going to be overrun by drunker washington gapers. they will be thrutching up hills on skins and flailing their way down, you have been warned.

i have a pocketpc2002, a toshiba model and its ok, but it would be better if it were my cell phone

i'd say wait a bit until the phone pda integration is a bit more solid. it really depends on what you use on your desktop to manage email and contacts. if you are tied to M$ outlook, then a pocket pc is the obvious choice

please read the PTL post, coffee indeed has an effect on PTL

There is a link up in the nav bar now, as well as one right here: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/review/index.php Here's how it works, you submit a product, preferably attach a picture, review it, and others review it, and we have a nifty little resource/structure that is/ to find out shit about gear. If there is a category/subcategory that you would like to see, post it to this thread.

there are some excellent volcanic cracks, not really slot canyons, that one can crawl down into and explore, as well as some dry river bed canyons around central and eastern oregon, but nothing like what is seen in southern Utah and Arizona

<rant> i fucking hate printers, and i hate people who print out sensless shit. you know who you are. </rant> if you export would it show your tracks waypoints etc? you could always go ghetto mode and take a screen shot, not as much fun as a freshie face shot, but still might werk

excuse my momentary absence from the freshiezone, i am good for one thing, and one thing only, and that is dispensing of my bachy conditions, here goes: The current operating hours are from 8am til 1pm, this means you can get a cheap lift ticket for $29, not bad. The only chairs that will be running mid week are Pine and Summit (weather permiting of course), summit has been open the past 5 or so days though. This weekend, Skyliner, and possibly NWX will also be open for the "last" time on each of these chairs. Snow Conditions: The past few days have been rather cool in the AM, and too warm in the PM, which creates a wonderful crusty icy layer over most of your fav spots on the hill. Hucks off the summit and back side can be good once it thaws out a bit, but before it gets too warm. We we're on the West side late saturday and it was fantastic down in the trees above the catchline. BREAKING NEWS: FRESHIE ALERT FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS Forecast calls for the following: Wed: L 29 H 40 1-2" Thur: L 26 H 33 1-3" Fri: L20 H 30 2-4" Sat: L19 H 30 1-3" and the same for sunday so freshie friends, things are looking tasty on old bachy. winds are supposed to light, not getting over 15mph the whole time, the only issue i see is summit not opening due to visibility, but I'd venture to guess it will for sure be open on the weekend to keep the skiiers happy. hope that does it for ya, lemme know if you are coming and i'll shred mass spring freshiez

i think he is talking about opening the road from the elk lake side, indeed there is still a bit of snow at dutchman, but the road near elk lake should be melted out, or close to being so. if anybody is going to do the marathon, and needs a ride back to bend, just let me know, I can pick you up anytime, or if you want to store beer in my office fridge i'll promise not to drink it

ironic, i believe cletus and i looked up at north/middle sisters and said something just like that, whats the scoop fellas! This weekend was a gem indeed. its raining in central OR today, and is going to stay that way most of the week very warm and soggy at 6500 here

This morning started out much like the rest, wake up, stuff a bagel in my face, make the long commute to the hills. By the time I arrive, the bowels are churning away, and the little ones are asking to be set free into their watery playground. So I made my way to the best pooper on the hill (The Executive Washroom), pulled out the cell phone to play some vids, and then got down to business. My mind drifted off, away from the cell phone video game, and i found myself contemplating a much greater, more important issue. This morning, I had a poop epiphany. I realized that probably close to 75% of my shitting is done at work, in that very stall. At first I was amused by this fact, but then I was very alarmed, and shocked. I took this to the next level, and decided to analyze my PTL, or Poop To Location Ratio. This of course means, a rough estimate of how much you poop at different locations. I broke it down into the following categories: WORK HOME PUBLIC RESTROOMS (Rest Stops, Restaraunts, Bars) BACKCOUNTRY TRAILHEAD I figured that my PTL for the above locations was probably along the lines of these percentages: work 75 home 23 public 1 backcountry .25 trailhead .75 While many might find this pointless, or perhaps nasty that i am analyzing shit in this way, i think one can find out some interesting things about their shatting habbits, and possibly set some goals based on their PTL. From my above example, a few things can be gathered: 1. I work too much, or just spend too much time up here in general (saying that I really don't work that often) 2. I don't like using public restrooms (nuff said) and most importantly 3. I'm not spending enought time shitting in the outdoors, which means i need to make a better effort to be in the backcountry, climbing, and doing other shit, like shitting. My goal for this summer is to up the Backcountry and Trailhead PTL to closer to a combined 6-10%, i know this is a very agressive goal, but i feel as if I have it in me. I will keep you posted on the outcome of my new study. timmay

looks like lil guy is aobut ot sit start out of that crib, congrats!

i'm guessing the sisters traverse was super duper sloppy much like the leuty's tr, even North facing aspects were super mankage by like 11 on saturday

if i can mooch a ride then i'll bring some stout, but its not looking good right now. c'mon cletus you know you want to go.

they are excellent, i especially like the powder blue color, it matches my one piece ski suit i hate being at work
