Febtober!

I'm not sure how the solo-trekking conditions are, but have you considered the Langtang region? (And I'm assuming you have, or have seen this book)

I'd like to ask you about the penis mightier...

I belive that's Alaskan Brewing's Alaskan Winter Ale has it, although I much prefer Siletz Spruce Ale

Celebration Although my vote easily goes to Pittock Jubel is my vote for store-bought sixers

I prefer pit zips because I can stick my arms out the openings and tie the jacket's arms behind my head if I don't want to stop to take off a layer. That and I look extra cool that way.

You brought back the frog!

that was YOU?!

Dinner with Carlos Buhler after the slideshow he gave earlier this year here in PDX. I had dinner with Fred Beckey when he was in town two weeks ago. Then I went out to the Lucky Lab afterward and watched him get digits from no less than 3 women in their 30's. Watched him dodge questions left and right, including harmless ones- Me: "Did you make the trail up depot creek?" Fred: "It's been there for a while." I ran into Lowell Skoog on the trail up to Boston Basin, and not realizing who he was, asked for any beta on the West Ridge of Forbidden then went on my merry way.

At what point did I say that the CDC report was valid? I'm just pointing out that catbirdseat did the research, and you have your head up your ass.

Ummm, that's a document that was written 227 years ago. I supposed you also don't believe in messing with other important documents, such as "the earth is flat", and "blood-letting: a cure-all"

Looks to me like you just used the classic "attack the source" tactic, and only speculated about its validity without any critical thinking of your own. Don't you think a more reasoned challenge to Scrambler's post would have involved some real investigation? Ahh, but then you're a scientist as you continually remind us all..... no critical thinking? he found out information about the guy who wrote the article and found out what the guy's personal agenda is! He actually had the intelligence to do the research and form an opinion of his own, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for you.

Is that like breeding a monkey with 5 asses?

I looked through the other thread, but it didn't really answer my question. I've heard that going in a hot tub after a really strenuous workout is a bad thing. Is this true? And if so, what's the threshold on how strenuous a workout needs to be before you shouldn't be going into the hot tub? How can you tell?

27 more cans and we can kick Cincinatti's ass!

My top three: 3) Driving down to New Orleans from Albany, NY for Mardi Gras my senior year in college. Fixed the muffler on my friends car in Nashville with phone cord; a better fix than the ethernet wire. Before leaving New Orleans, we decided to do is right and got some chainlink. Mardi Gras is of course, another story. 2)Yosemite And of course the best one: Two years ago, loading up an '88 Honda Accord with my belongings and driving to Portland from Massachusetts so I could climb real mountains.

what kind of crampons?

college in Potsdam...

Even if you have a GPS, you still need to have a map and compass (and more importantly, the skills to use them.) A GPS is just another aid, not an exclusive tool. That said, GPS's are great for navigating in a whiteout, finding camp in the dark, keeping track of where you've been, etc.

mine would be tattooed on my ass "Excuse me ma'am, I'll have to see that license again."

you don't have to be the last person on earth to do that

TG is only available in containers that require a tap

Fred will be in Portland tomorrow night. Govy isn't too far away!

Guster in PDX on Saturday
