Yeah Lo_fi is a cool space. Been there a few times just to kick back and chill to some good music. I was thinking of going on Thursday to check out a couple of lap top sets. That suxs that we pulled off the silver, I thought for sure that we had the gold in that when I was watching. Who took gold?

Hey Cracked, yep that was me in the green dome. Were you the one at the top of the rapstation as I was going by? Yeah slothtrop, my foot starting to feel a little better. The last weekend I have gotten out and done some of the easier classics that I was saving for solo days, but they are perfect for the condition that I am in now. Still not 100%, by the time we reached the car I was pretty gimpy. Those other ridge lines look great, and the south face, though the South face look like would be hard getting through the crux. Next time, I think I would like to do the East Ridge and descend down the North Ridge, that looks awesome. Just some great exposure. ashw_justin I saw a little alpinmouse up high on the ridge and thought the same thing, there wasn't any plants or shit except lichen. Maybe they collect enough cookie crumbs to get them through the year.

So did anybody make it? How about a TR. My TR is rode home, smoked , ate, slept.

Climb: Forbidden-West Ridge (down NE Face) Date of Climb: 8/14/2004 Trip Report: Now That my foot is starting to feel better, been getting out on some of the easier alpine classics that I haven't done so far since I have been out here. This time around I recruited my friend Jen for a one day on Forbidden. We met up at 4am and began the drive over to the trailhead. We arrived at the trail at 7 and began the slog up. It wasn't that bad hiking in, it is so nice traveling light. An hour later we out of the woods and looking at what we going for. Really beautiful up there, and there was tame marmots everywhere up there as well. Can't remeber what time it was when we started, but I think it was around 10. There was no snow up in the gully so almost immediately we were heading left to the rock. The first pitch was the hardest part of the whole climb, maybe 5.6 or 7. After belaying that out we did a short rope running belay to the ridge. Once on the ridge we did two more running belays to the top. On top we met up with Joe and his partner. Joe was kind enough to take some pictures and send them to me. We talked about the descent breifly. We all decided to climb down the ridge a little way and do a single rap to the ledges. Well, it didn't out that way for us. We ended doing several raps and roping up for the fourth class across. All in all it was a great adventure. I can't wait to get up there and do something else on that mountain. And here's the eye candy: Here Joe's partner being a snaffle salt lick, wish I could have seen that one On the end of our first pitch on the ridge. Coming down off the West summit. Gear Notes: Standard light alpine rack, 6 cams, few nuts, 8 slings, single 8mm, crampons, and alpine axe. Approach Notes: Very little snow travel was involved could have gotten away without crampons, but they made the snow travel easier.

There is nothing about this show listed on Lo_Fi's website or in the Stranger.

what about the DeeJaY?!? Dood come on you got it all wrong, the MC is the one that does the rapping.

The movie is River and Tides, it is an awesome movie

Then there is that fun guy, Psilocybe. He's always up for a trip.

I would be surprised if there was some still left, that you had to walk on.

It's a 3rd and/or 4th class descent off the West side from what I remember. Also the S. Ridge didn't have any 5.7. BTW even though they call it the South Ridge, it is really a narrow low angle face broken up with cracks..

Hey wait a second 007, you keep on talking about "our" trip and now your saying your still looking for climbers? huh? You mean with six pages of trolling material you haven't hooked one, damn dude. The 'No Pay to Climb Cho Oye Expedition 2005' sounds like its off to a great start, for all the logistical planning that is involved.

Herb is always up for an adventure.

What, evidence, no way that is expecting too much from people who are too close minded to see that Al Jazeera is no different than any other news organization. If anything they probably do a better job at being objective than most news organizations. That is probably why they have been critized so much by US and Arab nations.

Most of what is down at TAM in large fomat photographs with 2 instalations, though I wonder if came over to install them or maybe it was just the fact they were inside. I really like the earth cracks that he does, those are cool.

Seen it multiple times in J-Tree, they can be seen stalking the campgrounds sizing up potential meals during the day even. I seem to remember the particular event you describe, hippy girl running around screaming for someone to help her dog "It's being killed by a pack of wolves, somebody help it" Think it was winter 95 or 96. Sound about right? BB Yeah I was out there around that time, though I didn't witness any that crazyness, heard plenty of stories though.

All you that have multipule Avatars have way to much time on your hands.

First Friday of the month the SAM is free. Also there is a pretty good exhibit down at TAM. Andrew Goldsworthy, he is environmental sculpturist, most of the exhibit consists of photographs of his sculptures.

I heard the coyotes down in J-Tree, try and lure dogs away from there camp site then will gang up on the dog once they are away from people and kill 'em.

I just did Vesper a couple of weekends ago. It was really nice. The approach fairly straight forward, a small glacier to get to the base, I didn't need crampons, they do make it easier though, little funky getting on to the rock, fairly mellow once you get on the rock. It is a walk off once you get to the top. Check Nelsons guide for good info on the route and approach.

What a waste of money. I went to a pHish show, (luckily I didn't pay for the ticket), I had to leave after the third song. I don't know what gives, their music is ok on disc, live they suck. I guess to each their own.

I am guessing it would take about twenty of them maybe more though. If I knew they were out to kill me I would try to reduce their numbers as fast as I could, but I imagine I would get start getting tired after taking out 10 of them. Theme music for this event would either have to be Hatebreed or Einstruzende Nuebuaten or Slip Knot, yeah "you are all fucked and over rated, think I am going sick, this is the end of everything, you are the end of everything", those would be some good lyrics to have going through my head for the task at hand.

The truth is they are crazy about

Hey look at this, Alpiinfox got a job as a weather forecaster.
