so is the smoke subsiding around broken choss? or does it fluctuate with the time of day and the winds?

Hey Tex, does that have anything to do with why she's now an "ex"?

it sucks when you want to get up for an alpine start but a great excuse to use when you're late for work

now those are some long screws!

oh yeah, that's why Muffy's on Trask's "Good ol' boy" list, isn't it?

I'd also say look into the caving around there (WV, not NRG specifically), it's awesome!!

hey, if you're gonna be letting them out, can you get pics?

did you get any peasents?

who's daisy?

but think of the POWER!

with all the extra insulation, they get too hot in the summer, and those without the insulation are too cold to go shirtless...

are you going to upgrade to <gasp> 386?

According to the data presented in this thread, there's a 50% divorce rate. For the most part, people keep on talking about failed marriages, relationships, etc. Just keep in mind that half *do* work out, and don't let the pessimism get you down (mind you, I'm just a naive youngin' who has no experience with this.)

although isn't Alpine climbing really only done in Europe??

what's wrong with rock empire?

where dat?

more specifically (on that note) if you're looking for the "obvious gulley", you're alpine climbing...

dang! I gotta get me one of those!

what part of "thou shalt not kill" did he not understand??? This brings to mind this article: Hijackers surprised to find themselves in hell (and yes, I'm sure it's been posted before)

I haven't tried the sisters marathon yet (let alone adding on Broken Top and Bachelor), but 21 hours seems really fast! on!

Forgive my naivete, but what exactly do you mean by "non-technical"? You have to rope up to cross glaciers on Sahale and Logan, right? Doesn't that count as technical? Or does technical mean that you're placing pro? I would consider technical climbing to be using a rope placing pro. That's just what I consider it to be, others prolly have very different opinions. We roped up on the Fremont Glacier (Logan) only for the ascent. We found it to be straightforward enough we didn't bother with it on the descent. On Sahale, there were a few cracks, but we had enough experience that we didn't feel the need to rope up (we didn't have one with us anyway, so the decision was made easier.) That said, saying there's only 1 or 2 cracks is not only sandbagging, but you're also trying to make yourself look a lot bigger than you really are. Also, the "I'm better than you, Mt. Rainier is not climbing" attitude is rather childish. (Dryad, this is obviously not directed at you.)

now if that's not a troll, I don't know what is!

non-technical alpine climbs (Snowking, Sahale, Logan, etc.) That's not to say I don't enjoy a good technical climb, but in terms of fun, I'll have to go with non-technical alpine climbs.
