Winter, I think I see a few pics from you with no TR...out with it!

I totally missed the engagement news in looking at the climbing pics. Congrats to the both of you!

Like down sleeping bags, but the best seem to be either Feathered Friends and Western Mountaineering. Both companies make great, function oriented, warm jackets. I have a Western Mountaineering jacket because I got a good deal on it, but I could have gone with either. If you're looking at a Feathered Friends jacket, go for it! They make great stuff.

Nice! I've been wanting to wander over there for some time. I imagine Warrior doesn't get a lot of visitors. PM me if you need help getting any pictures up (you can even mail a CD to me if that works).

Sweet! Any pics?

aweful width and puking, they go hand in hand sickie

Queue the "if microsoft made climbing gear" jokes LOLZER

Lets have a TR! Those pictures look cool.

Yeah, just a little practice just off the ground to get her comfortable with the idea. Also, if you demonstrate it a bunch in front of her she'll get over her fear because "dad does it, it must be ok".

Yeah. And I went and showed you up by adding a sit-start to Monitor Ridge. I IZ TEH GREATEST CLIMBZER EVAR!

Damn. Thats one way to get strong.

Lets just say that my friend has the World-Wide Ass Kissing Championship wrapped up for '07 and there are still 4 months left to go! I'm proud of him and only disappointed that I didn't think of it myself. PM for details, I can't let the secret out!

I heard APPLE COMPUTER just came out with a NEW SPREADSHEET PROGRAM! LOLOMFGETONITRIGHTNOW!

This post is just for the climbing team's consumption only:

Read this on the Internet, so it must be true: Direct quote from the just published REAGAN DIARIES. The entry is dated May 17, 1986. 'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'

beautiful area. I love going there and picking flowers. Great date hike.

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!

BEST! TRIP! REPORT! EVAR!

Trip: Mt St Helens - Monitor Ridge Date: 8/18/2007 Trip Report: As promised, here is my account of CLIMBING the Cascade Jewel Mt. St. Helens: Drove down from Seattle Friday night with TEAM VOLCANO ERUPTUS. We wallowed in traffic for much of the way, but sucked it up and pushed on all the way to Olympia (NOT MY HOMETOWN. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OLYMPIA). There we had the cheapest pizza pie (size XL with softdrink for $5 at "Pizza Time" between three people) I have had in forever. Here in Olympia we found a Pole Dancing Academy around the corner from the pizza place (also teaches pilates there) which proved to be very useful the next day. After brushing up on the pole dancing technique we pushed on for the big mountain. Nearing the basecamp we came across information that we were in Sam-Sqanch territory. We decided to continue on, despite the danger. I don't want to ruin anyone's onsite of the route with too much beta, but it was a glorious adventure. Unfortunately we couldn't see anything from the summit (other than a little bird and a bunch of people), so perhaps I'll have to return next year with skiis to have look. Enjoy these pictures of our busy jewel to the south: elk: elk: Dances with Poles (notice how off route dude is!!!): Gear Notes: Ash Gators are recommended. Approach Notes: Lots of traffic on I-5. BEWARE OF SAM-SQANCH! HE HAS BEEN SIGHTED NEAR HERE!
