  1. This from a post on Supertopo by Dane:

     

    "Heard this late last night from an eye whitness.

     

    Couple of guys start up Pineapple Express yesterday. Rope runs out on the first 150' of Grade 3 ice and 50' of steep snow that is interlaced with decent size fir trees.

    Leader the yells down for his second to start simul climbing. Second is a good 100' up the first ice pitch when the leader rips both picks out of a M4 mixed pitch just left of this line.

    At a similar elevation and steepness from what I could see.

     

    Leader falls the distance shown here..plus all but 20/30' of the first 60m pitch. He doesn't deck only because his rope hangs up on one of the trees above as all his pro rips. After seeing his leader literally go winging past him the second has to climb up just get the slack in the rope as he lowers his injured and non mobile leader to the ground. Then he rigs a rappel on their dbl ropes (one which has been nearly cut in half with only threads connecting it) to get off. Well over a 300' screamer by my calculations. Haven't heard of the injury list yet but they refused help from the two parties on the Mtn yesterday with the leader literally crawling out of the basin and down the 1000m Phantom slide. Some lucky dudes there!"

  2. I was working at a wine distributor in Issaquah, and I worked a deal with the company mechanic to do some work on a rig I was buying from the company...all very round-about dealings. I said I would buy him lunch, the guy ate 5 big macs,2 cheeseburgers, 3 fries, 2 shakes and 3 apple pies.

    A McDumbald's meal cost me $30, the bastard! Said he got free meals by doing the "eat the steak and it's free!" roadhouse challenges.

     

    He looked at my car for a bit, then I asked him how bad it was.

     

    "The fuckin' fucker's fuckin' fucked!"

  4. here's the litmus test:

     

    If you want to fabricate a trip report - which do you include?

     

    I recently had some ninja's throwing drywall slats off a 70-MPH half-a-mobile-home trying to kill me and everyone in the vehicle.
