If you're looking to live next to a great ice cream cone shop, then you'll want to live in West Seattle and the Husky Deli. West Seattle is probably the cheapest of all the neighborhoods in Seattle to live in. West Seattle, historically, has produced some of the top climbers of the USA. 5 out of 7 people prefer West Seattle.

Going from 6.1 billion humanoids (year 2000) to 9 billion humanoids in the next 50 years is going to result in more climbers. This coupled with the polar icecaps melting, which drives us all to higher ground, make me think there probably isn't too much to be done about it. May be we could buy up all the guide books and burn them.

What are the GPS coordinates?

My liners were preformed as well. I did try it as demostrated in the video, and I did get a better fit. One thing that I don't have that works much better is a convection oven (not an element type oven). I think I got a reasonable fit, and I think it is possible to use this method to fit the liners. However, after speaking with the people at Intuition, I may actually take my liners into Feathered Friends here in Seattle. The people at Intuition have seen that video (I mentioned it to them, and they had already seen it). They didn't recommend doing it yourself, but I'm not sure exactly what they objected to in the video. I may go into FF and get them fit just to be on the safe side. I can let you know if I end up with a much better fit going this route that what I got doing it myself.

SeaChickens Braaaaaawwwkk!

The official rules.
-
To include the following: -Mountain Profile: Ama Dablam The Matterhorn of the Himalaya has been serenading climbers ever since they’ve been walking past it en route for Everest. Michael Kennedy provides the overview, while Dr. Michael Ward, Jeff Lowe, Yvan Estienne, Sergey Bogomolov and Rich Cross give first-hand accounts of climbing on the most beautiful mountain in the world. -Puff the Magic Climber: Loda Bohl America smokes dope. Climbers smoke dope. But how do they perform when stoned? Join us in our errant quest for knowledge on this most hazy of subjects. -The Way: Steve House When America’s finest alpinist went searching for balance, he had no idea the journey would consume him. It could only end when he came out the other side. -Love Stinks: Alison Cerney Climbers smell. Sometimes that’s a good thing. -The Totem Pole: Eric Bjornstad Climbers mark their passage on desert towers by inscribing the summit registers. A celebration of a vertical art form. -Squamish: Peter Croft Squamish lies at the epicenter of Canadian rock climbing, and no Canadian has been shaped by it like Peter Croft. One of the era’s great forces reflects on his formative years on Canadian granite.

did anyone die on liberty ridge 5/26-27 2001?

This only goes up to 1997, but is an interesting historical and educational resource, Unsettling Events , fatalities on Mt. Rainier. A bit morbid though. -

I see an accident on 5/29 of 2002 ( description here) , and there was a heli evac on 5/30 2001 ( link here). . They apparently lost a bunch of their gear in an avalanch on the 28th. I haven't seen any info of anyone dying on the date you mention. -
My guess is that the upgraded the CMS, and are still updating things that are broken by the upgrade (like the method for donating money to the site). I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it at some point.

If you want an example of a climbing resume, just type "climbing resume" in google. You'll get all sorts of results. If you're looking for someone on this website who climbs, then they probably aren't going to answer, because they're out climbing. If you're looking for a poser, well maybe you can troll one by asking for climbing resumes.

That is freaking amazing to watch. A huge river of snow. Note to self: Avalanche course
-
Wow...no snow till 18,500?! I just read this on summit post : "considering the geometry of the Earth, this summit is known as the farthest point from its center". Any plans of going down there would be at least 2-3 years out, but I'm interested. Are you going to climb any?

I went and checked this album out on Amazon. It was sort of neat to see people sniping on each other on some other format (Muse vs. Radiohead). "Anyone that can't hear the similarity between Muse and Radiohead is either (1) in denail, and truly unable to see what they don't want to see; (2) completely tone-deaf; or (3) pridefully lying. (Would these people also assert that R. Yamagata sounds nothing like Fiona Apple?) " or "I could go on and on, but like all music critisim, the points are merely academic. If one likes it (and I do), one likes it, no matter the analytical deconstruction. Just don't make the they're-nothing-like-Radiohead argument disingenuously or ignorantly."

Wait a minute, should I be taking advice from a person who uses "cracked" for a handle? I'm trying to envision these cool looking liners as they burst into flames and melt all over my feet, causing 3rd degree burns... Actually, it does seem pretty straight forward. I think I'm going to give it a go tomorrow morning.
-
Well, to make it fair, Gregiore should get to give Rossi 129 beatings first, then they can trade off.
-
I'm going to print that out and frame it.

Anyone use these instructions to fit their intuition liners? Any points missed in the video. I also just got a pair of these in the mail. What a company! Sent me the liners, said they would invoice me for them once I got them. Debating whether to take these to Custom Boot service in Ballard or to just do it myself.

Did you clone this creation in your bathtub? It looks like a white rat crossed with a raccoon!
-
probably because he put the pictures onto this site, so they had to be both reduced in actual size and compressed. I'm very sure that the orginal pictures don't have this problem. Luke, are you taking pictures in RAW or JPG?
-
or...if you give the site admins money, they let you change it yourself. If you like the site, maybe you should consider it. Otherwise, polish away if the title means something to you.

[TR] Rainier- attempt on Fuhrer Finger 12/29/2004
olyclimber replied to Alex_Mineev's topic in Mount Rainier NP
Good effort guys. A whole new year of climbing ahead of us. Plenty of time left to make another winter try. As always, any pics?
