If you wanted to, you could be doing this for a living I'm pretty sure. Probably doesn't pay near your day job to be an outdoor photographer though.

@Hans Travis i feel you on the orange color....that was a @jon executive design call, and I've never had the energy to say anything because we have much more pressing deck chairs to rearrange on this ship

This place can do the job so much better than IG or Facebook, but obviously people have to use cc.com for it to work all we can do it try continue to try to make it better and better and build up some momentum. we are seeing a significant uptick in registrations in a time where in the yearly cycle that usually dead, so things are looking up! Quality TRs (even FA reports) continue to come in, so its not like this place is dead...it just has a slower pulse than it did. @Hans Travis would love to hear from you as to what types of things you would find valuable and make you come back to this here snake pit. We would like to make those things better so we can make a compelling to use the site and share info. it isn't about really competing with social media, but being a "better mousetrap" for sharing conditions, stories, knowledge, selling gear, meeting climbing partners, and anything else you all find valuable. if we can make the site better in that regard, we are all ears. @jon is getting close to put in a feature that you'll all be very happy about.

Does *not* suck dude! Awesome pics!

Awesome, thank you @Marko !

Small detail...but get your site a favicon!

That looks awesome Dan, looking forward to what you have to share...both stories and photography.

I'm not sure what this thread is about, but from reading the first page of posts, I'm pretty sure you want to see a picture of my dog.

Drool, you can just post from your Facebook or Google account. Get with the program bruh. But then you'd have to use your real Facebook account name, no avatar to hide behind anymore...see the sign in with a service option?: But not everyone has a Facebook or Google accounts. I think it is awesome that we offer a choice here...if you don't want to sell your soul to Facebook or Google, you can just get a regular account here...and we aren't mining you like your bud Zuck. I think you are probably the one that is old and out of touch with the youth! I mean I have a 16 year old son, they don't use Facebook...Snapchat is where its at, some even stopped using Instagram that much. And chances are that is going to change again soon. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/facebook-is-facing-a-demographic-time-bomb This is a specialized online community that provides a lot more than any Facebook group can (at least at this point). There are tons like it on the internet that are doing just fine, like NW Hikers or Turns all Year for example. Yes this board has had a downturn, but it is possible for it to survive and flourish again. As for "way faster"...I don't buy that either. Way faster just because you're already logged in Facebook? What happens to the post when you want to pull it up in year or two? Oh, sorry. Maybe Facebook will offer it up to you as selective "Memory" like they do at a time of their choosing...

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Great pictures, what a trip! I gotta get one of those Harno-thongs!

yeah this was just bizarre time trip that showed up in my Youtube list for some reason...check out the old boards! And this is Canadian....

@Rad did you know that if you paste the full Youtube URL into a post it embeds the video? Like this...

There is some interesting discussion in the comments section of this: https://andrewskurka.com/2015/speculative-thoughts-on-new-gtx-active-outdry-extreme/ if you feel like geeking out over "waterproof" fabrics....

I think Outdry is more popular in Europe. I see a bunch of brands starting to use it instead of Event...which I assume is because they believe it is good enough or equal to that, but its probably cheaper? I know for example Schnee's (boot maker in Bozeman) had Event in their boots up till not to long ago and now they use Outdry instead. https://blog.columbia.com/outdry_extreme/ https://gearjunkie.com/columbia-outdry-extreme-waterproof-jackets List of brands using it: http://www.outdry.com/ENG_partners.html I have not seen a head to head vs Event or Goretex, etc...but many times there are more than just how dry it keeps you but how durable it is, etc...

There you have it. Its Drool's fault, he's sold out to Zuckerbergs data collection engine.

@mneagle there is a silver lining! more solitude for us old codgers, if we can drag our rusty husks out...

Just wait until we unveil the all new DA TOOF FORUM! All TOOF, ALL THE TIME. Featuring world renown photography of this Cascade Jewel. Featuring tracking of all Toof records. Feature the largest collection of Toof TRs on the planet.

The rivers and streams were gushing in the summer there is normally a big beach down there you can go and hang out at after climbing...channel was completely full.
