mt hood is one of the cascade jewels, there is great unique climbing up there. this truly sucks, hopefully ryland is right

the loss of vision was freaky. i could see forms in white, that was when i told my wife to drive me to er. then we got stuck in traffic and i was sure i was going to die. i guess i have a pretty good immune system, or i would be.

well, they are building light rail and a downtown trolly in seattle. a little behind teh times, but some improvement. but tyhe bottom line is this really sucks for everyone who wants to climb hood without a nanny, especially those that count on hood as one of their primary playgrounds (like climbers in the portland area)

Wow, I'm hot! Shut your eyes and you'll burst into flames.

yeah, i have cellulitis in my arm. what happened was i had an extreme reaction to a bacterial infection and went into septic shock (liver, kidney failure, etc). they will never know the cause, tho there is a little scratch on my elbow.

thanks fern. i just got alot better.

i made it out of the hospital! ways to go still though. time for the meds. sickie

I'M STILL IN ICU, PEEPS. THIS DAMN THING WON'T LEAVE MY ARM. I MISS ALL OF YOU.

MUHAHAHAHA!!!! THE POWER! I HAVE THE POWER!

it hurts like hell. a huge knot on my elbow with throbbing pain down to my fingers. its because the nerves are getting buggered by the swelling i guess. my fingers where going numb and cold, and the knot hurts to touch and if i move my arm at all. the pain goes away when i take teh pills though.

gawd is punishing me for hangdogging on that roof at zebra zion by giving me bursitis of the elbow. damn it is painful, and i just about could have killed the bureaucracy between me and relief. after filling out about 20 forms the doctor wrote me a prescription and i'm feeling better now. i know what you're thinking...party at olyclimbers house tonight. no. i'll be crouched in the basement with weapons watching clockwork orange over and over. i won't be friendly.

amazing how a little processing can improve a picture. or imagine how much a lense that could reach out and grab a range of focus like that would cost.

it was probably me flailing because i'm so out of shape. its not like there are any hard moves up past that though, and there was over almost 7 hours of daylight left when we got off the route, so maybe it was someone else.

i saw those. they are still there, but we used the fat metolius bolts just below them
