Rumor Higlights that I have heard on RC.com: Offset TCU's in 2007 The DMM Anarchist for ice this year New uber-lite carabiners from everyone (24 grams?) BD will get back into wall climbing - New ascenders. Petzl... ropes? MSR's answer to the Jetboil Crashpads for her? Lighter Metolius nuts (no swage) Superlight Stainless Steel belay tube from DMM

Not true at all. You can always stick to the glacier and ignore the Prow.

You could look at the Rainier Climbing Conditions blog that Mr. Gauthier so lovingly prepares for climbers like you. Check out the sticky post in the Rainier forum.

I think the Beckey Route is "in"

You can sleep the drink away. Caipirinhas!

Dorks can smell their own kind.

Almost all Irish with a dash of sexy.

We saw you guys on your way out Saturday evening. Looks pretty friggen rad. We encountered a lot of wind and rime on top on Sunday.

So... Why the caber toss? I understand most throwing events are directly related to a skill used in war; javelin being the most obvious. Is an 18 foot long, 65lb spear the traditional weapon of the Scots? Was it a secret training kind of thing like Capoeria? (sp?)

looks like the rake points are better than the G14.

-I don't think I have a piece that size -it's only a 5.9 -I've still got some vacation left

I recently gave an old rope to a boater. He was more than happy to receive 200' of rope.

And if this weren't enough, both Chris and Tim joined me on the West Ridge of Stuart on only one day of rest. With today as a rest day, they will be out after the Torment-Forbidden Traverse tomorrow.

I was up there on Sunday. Snow and rime were the order of the day. brrr...

Black REI Mountain Axe - Found it in the Couloir leading up to the notch. It's been there for a little while, but still in serviceable shape.

Maybe they will sell the patent to a company who has a functioning quality control system.

I saw a seven year old boy on top a few years ago. In the end it doesn't matter. Just enjoy the climb.

You are right, the world is about to end.

How did you manage that? Was it placed properly, or did it get twisted?

Some neat instrumentals - Soulfly "Soulfly" They have one on each album, there are 5 now. All very cool. Get them off a download service, since the rest of the music is decidedly NOT chill. Second for the Zero 7 and the Dorfmeister. Rad stuff there. You should also check out Frou Frou. It's quite a lot like Zero 7, but only one vocalist throughout. And ther eis always the classic triphop stuff - Portishead and The Sneaker Pimps.

Your chances are pretty good.

Mom!

In the spirit of giving, here's where I picked up a double set of Hybrids: Trad Rack They also have a lot of Regular Aliens I received my aliens very quiickly. Free shipping on orders over $55.

Yeah. Wait for ropeup. I've been lurking here long enough. It's time to meet some of you sprayers.

It's hard to feel sorry for yourself when you are listening to Meshuggah.
