I realize this is going to probably intimidate alot of you bouldereers out there, but check this Royal throw down: I got skillz: Check it: You wish you were me: Hitting the crux like it's nothing: True playa for real: As seen in the New York Post.

Deodorant is aid, etc.

Thanks for the info. I have found that the New York Post is the best source of accurate information and opinions. I way prefer it over the Enquirer. Did you know how Scott Peterson's Exlover was seduced? Enquiring minds want to know. Why do we not have a troll icon?

Dude, don't you know? That's a new Modest Mouse song.

Wow. What is next, the Needles? Good show guys, I want to hear a detailed TR!

Has anyone seen that movie about Andy Goldsworthy? He is like building some "environmental sculpture" and it collapses....and he starts swearing up a storm @#$@#$&@(#*$&@#(*...... it's pretty funny. I think the movie is "Working With Time" or something like that...

With "Internet" I can induge my passion for all things climbing.

I know everyone here is a political expert. Could someone tell me what the heck God Rights are? Are they in the Constuition or in the Bible? "I think President Bush has done an excellent job," said Linda Roberts, a conservative Republican from Liberal, Kan. "He's a Christian. I don't believe there's any reason to kill babies by abortion. I don't believe in gay marriage. I believe he is for equal rights, but also for God's rights."

A new way will have to be put in for accessing this area. They're tearing out the dam that you walk over to get to it right now.

lame

Are you AKA 007? On 8000m peaks, you're going to want the Bibler. BDs are water resistant, not water proof, so if you're camping in the rain you're going to wish you had a Bibler (I'm sure you know that BD now owns the Bibler name). You can see right through the BDs...seems like it would be a good alternative to a bivy sack tho.

also:

Now that carbs cause cancer we're all dead. Time for the Chet Atkins diet.

Unfortunately this ORRC marathon has been discontinued.

Kill the pig! Kill the pig!

I'm looking for a Cascade Climber interested in climbing some 8000m peaks this weekend. Please submit your climbing resume to me ASAP. I have 2 slots available. Live your dreams.

You mean to tell me that the "trail" has nothing to do with this guy?

You actually need to run under 7:26 per mile, not 7:40. Sorry to correct. Ya, that is what I get for using base 10 (ie 7.44 isn't 7:44 minutes). Anyway, my current pace is 7:40, so I've got to speed up. And I'm looking for someone to run with in the 7:26-7:44 range. Thanks for catching my continued math blunders.

Anyone know the website for this run? It seems to be held by the Oregon Road Runners Club (same people who do the Portland Marathon), but I can't find any info. I just want to find out the following: A.) Is the course certified B.) What is the profile C.) Is the run definitely on for 2005. thanks.

Good evening, I do not have any experience with 8000m altitude acclimatization, but I can tell you all about time tables. Generally, you read them left to right or top to bottom. For instance, my bus time table requires you to read right to left to determine which were the bus stop location is, and top to bottom to determine what time the bus will be there. Here is an example. Now not all time tables are like this. Sometimes they reverse the up/down left/right bit, and sometimes they do other tricky stuff. Here is an example of when they get tricky. As you can see, there is a lot of information here. Not only height in meters and feet, but also laid out by date and time. After you spend a little bit of time, however, you'll find that time tables are a piece of cake, and you'll be sending 8000m peaks with your eyes shut. Good luck!

Register this.

Looks like they are going to try to get thier course certified so it could be a qualifying run. link But if I ran this one I would have to choose between it and the PDX run the next weekend.

I like to connect that ride with starting at Leschi, heading south down to the south end of Lake Washington and up the east side of the lake, then on to Mercer Island. By then you're warmed up to do that loop, and then back over to Leschi.

Related to the marathon thread, I'm looking for someone else who is training to run a marathon at 7:40 minute mile pace (or slightly faster). I would like to hook up with one or two other people for at least the weekend distance run to keep pace with. I think it will probably be easier running with someone else who has the same goal in mind. I know there are running clubs out there, and I'll try them if this doesn't work out. I live in West Seattle, so it would have to be someone in the Seattle area. I've been running in West Seattle and the Burt Gilman trail. Like I said in the other thread, my goal is to qualify for the Boston marathon with a 3:15 time or better, and I'll be running in PDX as my first marathon. PM me if interested.
