The closest I have ever gotten to danger at Castle Crags is almost driving off the highway rubber-necking every time I drive by.

My aunt died of hep c, it went undetected for 10 years, then it was too late. I have also started opening inswinging bathroom doors in public places with the papertowel before throwing it away. Also, opening outswinging doors with an elbow. My GF is very careful about germs, and I have picked up some tricks from her.

I would respectfully suggest all future approachanists skip the BA1 portion, as it is illegal. "We did the brush clean, Man!"

Could you say, then, that you Sod-On Eyesed?

From Mountaineers, you may wish to substitute a headlamp for the flashlight : Map. A map not only tells you where you are and how far you have to go, it can help you find campsites, water, and an emergency exit route in case of an accident. Compass. A compass can help you find your way through unfamiliar terrain—especially in bad weather where you can't see the landmarks. Water and a way to purify it. Without enough water, your body's muscles and organs simply can't perform as well: You'll be susceptible to hypothermia and altitude sickness. not to mention the abject misery of raging thirst. Extra Food. Any number of things could keep you out longer than expected: a lengthy detour, getting lost, an injury, difficult terrain. A few ounces of extra food will help keep up energy and morale. Rain Gear and extra clothing. Because the weatherman is not always right. Especially above treeline, bring along extra layers. Two rules: Avoid cotton (it keeps moisture close to your skin), and always carry a hat. Firestarter and matches. The warmth of a fire and a hot drink can help prevent an encounter with hypothermia. And fires are a great way to signal for help if you get lost. First aid kit. Prepackaged first aid kits for hikers are available at outfitters. Double your effectiveness with knowledge: Take a basic first aid class with the American Red Cross or a Wilderness First Aid class, offered by many hiking organizations. Army knife or multi-purpose tool. These enable you to cut strips of cloth into bandages, remove splinters, fix broken eyeglasses, and perform a whole host of repairs on malfunctioning gear—not to mention cut cheese and open cans. Flashlight and extra bulbs. For finding your way in the dark and signaling for help. Sun screen and sun glasses. Especially above treeline when there is a skin-scorching combination of sun and snow, you'll need sunglasses to prevent snowblindness, and sunscreen to prevent sunburn.

I got the mini-fridge right here! Pass some of those chips over here. I remember this one time...

No kidding. I have become much more conscientious about hand-washing, etc. What if someone has strep throat, coughs into their hand, then grabs a doorhandle just before you? This is yet another reminder that preventative hygeine is a health aid.

It must be hanging out with mine at some kind of groovy resort somewhere.

Got the 10-foot stare in the eight-foot room, freakin' climbing the walls! doesn't that count for something?

I'm feeling a bit snappy tonight.

Don't let that go too long without examination

The "CWU Crew" had already awakened, cleaned up the fire pit area of trash, and climbed Yellow Jacket Tower by this time. (Including suckbm, who drank more then anyone, vomiting on everyone and everything that stood in his path the night before.) Lazy butts! Hey! I think I was still up!
