Your clever use of the English language is charming. Even though I'm not a Mountaineer, I will do what I can to let you toprope one of the blue 5.6's.

I call bullshit. "moderate" has little to do with what the world's best athletes are doing. "moderate" has to do with what a majority of the athletes are doing. A synonym of "moderate" is "average". The world's best marathon runners can finish in a little over 2 hours. By your definition, a "moderate" finishing time would be around 3 hours. After all, 3 to 3.5 hours is achievable if you train. In truth, less than 10% of marathon runners finish in less than 3.5 hours. The average is 4.5 hours to finish. Sorry, I had to bring some logic into the discussion. Using slipstream as an example the majority of the climbing world doesnt find WI4+ hard... just all the NW punters 5.13 doesnt make the mags anymore because more of the population is climbing it... as standards rise so does (or should) the ability level of the "next generation" Point successfully missed.

It's new wave chest beating. Instead of spraying about the hard climb you've sent, you casually mention it in passing and call it "moderate".

He's not wearing gaiters either. This guy is out of control. Dude, that's f*cking snow. It could get in your boots IN YOUR BOOTS!!!!!!

I'm kidding. There was this thread and Rumr... yeah. Have a good time and take some photos.

Dude, I hate it when people call "dibs" on routes. Mountaineers suck.

This isn't current, but... I was up there late last year, about a week before they stopped plowing the road. A decent storm had blown down a ton of trees. There was alot of climbing over blow down. I doubt that it would have been cleaned up yet. The trail takes at least one major detour due to downed trees. And I found this: "04/17/2008: SNOW Trailhead inaccessible due to snow. Parking at Glacier Creek Road. " Here: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Trail Status

Oh, I can read. I'm not the one who asked "What does it take to convert from regular diesel to biodiesel?" Two minutes on google tells me that I need to flush the fuel system, replace natural rubber hoses, and install a tank heater in cold climates.

I'm assuming you will only be hauling on the one rope that the rescuer has coiled? Rope stretch will make it difficult to haul. In the end, my answer is to let the bastard prusik out of the hole. Look up "Kiwi Coil".

I bet the "Tieton River Rocks" title was a dead give away.

The left and center look a lot like the picks for my Mjollinor.

Fixed it for you

The Genie was "replaced" by the Alpinelite 30

So you are lumping the Boealps in with them? I don't lump you in with the n00bs at Exit 38 hangdogging at the trestle even though I bet you have climbed there.

The penalty for having two wives is having two wives.

that whole lip on the lid will break off without too much force either and should not be used as an attachment. Not the lid, the lip on the main bottle below the threading for the lid.

Or tie a bit of 3mm accesory cord around the lip where the lid is retained.

As a recap, I went to two different bars, had a few terrific beers, and now I'm going to sleep for a while. Have fun at work.

10:35 pm and you are at work? All of your dick-headedness is forgiven.

I've just realized that after a few beers, "Your mom" is the best response to any post. Please advise.

We might also want to pitch in to buy Rumr a new life. He has been camped out on this thing all day.

Go for the "Old Chute" it sounds dirty.

You guys are getting all worked up for no reason. Only the Boealps or the Mountaineers would be in the Icicle doing anything this weekend. I've already said that this is a warning, not "dibs". If Rumr wants to take it another way, he can eat a dick. He won't be out there trying to climb anyway.
