it seems there was a plethora of peculiar hats at this event.

so did you finally put some water in that pond of yours?

It isn't what can't be accomplished when you take away the "for profit" side...it is the delivery to the people who actually need it that suffers however. This is a strong desire by drug companies to solve the problems...but then when they figure it out they want to cash out and get rich....which means expensive drugs that people in 3rd world countries can't afford.

nice work on LR tanstaafl!

did anyone see the base jumper falling down upper town wall (chute did not open) only to be snagged on a horn on Green Drag-on just before decking ? happened on Sunday. and he walked away from it (but had to aid back up the route to retrieve his parachute).

you two are the hardestcore couple on cc.com. its beautiful. congrats on your climb and decent! but next time we'll need some glamour shots of the both of you. That wasn't technically a solo climb then, right?

Itching to walk the plank, cabinboy?

OK...as suggested and seconded by many people including icegirl here and others here, we now have a way to donate money to Kurt's (AKA "AlpineK") recovery fund. Bank: Washington Mutual (any branch) Name: Kurt E. Fickeisen Trust Fund Account # 313-283-7573 As most of you should know by now, Kurt was hurt on the job, and has suffered a pretty bad head injury, not to mention a broken up midsection. Lets all pitch in and help Kurt who has helped run CC.com since the early days.

cool. was he recording his attempt on film?

i like to spend a lot of time on the internet on a bulletin board.

I'll look into to it. I haven't set one up before. Hey Jon, did you set up the cc.com paypal? Or anyone else?

A new, bizarre (but hopefully very good) machine called "Bill Gates, The Money Man for the Problems of the World" has been created. It should be interesting to track what the Gates Foundation does with the money...quite a bit to throw at some bad problems.
