  1. Hip-hop smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel.
  2. Great weather for making icecream!
  3. I'm off by a year, because this came out in late October of 2003, but my favorite album I bought in 2004 was Shins 'Chutes Too Narrow'.
  4. So, it has nothing to do with elevation, and everything to do with temp.? Thanks for the info. Mods, feel free to move this to the Newbie section.
  5. Great pictures Zach.
  6. There are always going to be player haters Erden. Just keep on keeping on. There are plenty of others who appreciate and admire your efforts, even if just vicariously.

    Singapore?

    My dad is there right now (he didn't even notice the earthquake). He is working on a container ship that is currently in dry dock. If you have any specific questions, he has been there a number of times, and I'll pass them on...however he hasn't been there on non-work time.
  8. At what elevation would you not bring a canister stove and go with a liquid fuel stove?
  9. Hi Todd, How long did it take for you to do all four? I take you guided other up? What is the best time of year to climb them? Thanks.
  10. At seems to me that Mike & Co. are just presenting a single interface for you to have a dialogue with. Mike has, in this thread, made multiple attempts to answers questions and provide information. It doesn't seem like the door has been closed on this thread, and I'm betting if you have something further to say about an issue Mike will respond.
  11. I have an extra PCMCIA CF card reader at home you can have (provided you have a laptop with a PCMCIA slot). Otherwise just get a cheap USB CF reader.
  12. What does the procedure cost? I've been thinking about getting it done so I can go surfing without worrying about washing out my contacts or losing a pair of glasses. I did hear it was much cheaper than down here. Do they provide their "success rate" data?
  13. I've had both (a Brunton Sherpa and a bling, bling old school Thommen ) and I currently have a Suunto Altimax. The Sherpa was more accurate (both resolution wise as well as reading the correct temprature/elevation). Of course you're going to have to continuely adjust any barometric altimeter. One thing for sure, the Suunto Altimax doesn't give you a good temperature reading when wearing the watch next to your skin (to be expected, and mentioned in the user manual). You body's heat makes it impossible to take an accurate measure of the environmental temp outside unless you take the watch off. You can just make a lanyard for the thing and hang it around your neck like Flavor Flav (not inside your clothes. This is going to give you the most accurate temp reading. Accurate altitude measurements are a factor of how accurate your altimeter is dialed in, if the barometric pressures are changing rapidly, and the resolution of the device.
  14. SQUAMISH: Sat Jan 01 Rain / Snow Showers 34°/21° 40 % Sun Jan 02 Scattered Snow Showers 30°/20° 30 % Mon Jan 03 Mostly Sunny 32°/18° 10 %
  15. Good point. I'll wear a coat and go for it.
  16. Nice work Jason! I would love to see some pictures if you took any!
  17. There is a reason it is called a belay loop. It is there for belaying. While it depends on the make/model of the harness, it may or may not be stronger to loop through "tie-ins" when tying in (you're looping through two straps rather than the single belay loop, so it sort of distributes any load). If you look at the design of the harness, it you may actually be able to belay through the "tie-ins" or only through the belay loop. Again, it is dependant on the model/make of the harness.
  18. I'm looking for somewhere to head off to this weekend (leave Saturday afternoon, back by Monday evening). The weather reports looks like rain or snow everywhere within striking distance (Smith, Vantage). Any other suggestions, other than giving up on it and go snowboarding instead? VANTAGE: Sat Jan 01 Snow Shower 35°/23° 40 % Sun Jan 02 Few Snow Showers 35°/22° 30 % Mon Jan 03 Mostly Cloudy 36°/23° 10 % SMITH: Sat Jan 01 Snow Shower 38°/18° 50 % Sun Jan 02 Snow Shower 35°/17° 30 % Mon Jan 03 Few Snow Showers 35°/17° 30 %
  19. Dallas has contributed to or is mentioned in many 60s and 70s AAJs for various routes he put up in the North Cascades and Canada.
  20. It would be nice, at least in the Trip Report section, if posters could maintain their reports (rather than have them lock up at some point). The images for most of my reports moved, and I can't go fix it without bugging a mod. Just a suggestion.

    Put down the bong son Double_E: Check the date he posted that he was at 1000 posts. 04/20/04 02:39
  22. Looks like it is the Jeep that is aiding the Hummer.

    Oh...and here is to 3000. But beware...I'm catching up! Soon they'll have me locked in a rubber room...just as long as I have a internet connection, I'll be ok! Oh...and the 11 essentials.
