u wot m8? I don't see no chinese basketball doctors.

exactly my argument drool. humans are nature. climate change is just a natural process. enjoy your new beach front property and sun tan and stop complaining!

If the ultimate act of cool is meant to be fun then yes, because that sounds like fun. I like the Enchantments, but I'm just bummed out by the permit system. What, do they think nature will break if we get too many people back up in there? Heck no, that granite is hard! Imagine camping with a herd of 400 people up in there on a hot summer night. How fun would that be? They would have to create a permit system for fun, because the fun would be too much. Then you'd need a fun permit lottery system. And of course some bureaucracy to back that up.

Do you think mountains are female or male?

Drool...its like bagging a chick. Know what I mean? Or maybe you don't. It's "just manly things".

I did this before it was considered cool. Seems pretty mainstream now. So I've moved back to exploring areas that people consider "too crowded", because they're empty. I'm talking stuff that was mentioned in Outdoor magazine back in the early 80's. Well plucked gems that have a polished and refined sense of wear to them.

Thats a pretty awesome video. Climbing is boring, belaying is the fun part. I would appreciate a couple different angles on the belayers though.

I'm not sure, but I get the impression that a lot of people from Leavenworth are in reality from the Seattle area. I had the same feeling in Mazama when I was skiing. Last time I saw that many City of Seattle parking sticker permits I was in Seattle. Nothing against Seattle... good city. Well if they're from Seattle, they're still Native Americans. Or are they from Asia?

Furla may be "cheap", but that name at least has subsistence and history. These American brands keep popping up, cooking up heritage and history out of thin air. It's tiresome. Would you be caught dead wearing Vineyard Vines?

Yes. I am for this Mariners team you speak of.

Is this your blog Peter? http://www.fakekarl.com/2008/04/louis-vuttion.html

Also compelling from this thread is the rift apparently between location "X" vs. Leavenworth. There appears to be animosity, I would love a backgrounder on this. Is it "East Side Envy"? Or "Leavenworth Crag Thugs"?

I was really enjoying the debate whether Hoodsport is a mountain town or not. At sea level, it is hard to make that argument, but then compare it to some town in the Mid-west. The Brothers (and many other mountains) are just up the road. Also, given the location it is pretty much in the shade of the mountains all the time, so its almost always dark and wet.

I don't know about atheist, but I've been to a couple agnostic celebrations of living..they are usually called "wakes". And they involve pouring some out for the passed homies, usually into ones mouth.

Probably need a sash for all the badges. And cool hats.

Nah man, its awesome. Its like the Adult Boyscouts. Merit badges and everything. It serves a number of purposes: some people really go for this type of thing. But others, it really grinds their gears, which are in dire need of grinding. So everyone gets something out of it. I only hope they extend badges to the normal folk instead of just the leaders. And maybe some cool uniforms?

Pete, you should really go for the snowshoe badge. it suits you.

and this coming from the king of critics. he watches, he sees all, and he spits on it all from his throne. you can't escape his all seeing eye, nor his judgement.
