Using a combination of the above advise (thanks Gary, others....) I got my pics and music off my computer. I'm just going to re-format my HD now and run Linux, instead of Windows. Anyone have a favorite/suggested linux that they run? Any tips for a first-timer>? Thanks!

Where's Waldo? Who can spot the most climbers? I found 7. http://research.microsoft.com/ivm/HDView/HDGigapixel.htm

How is the trigger different than aliens? It looks the same.

I honestly don't think they are very hot. It seems like your average hollywood moviestar woman is much more attractive than these 'top models'.

I don't know how to build computers, I just want to save the pics and music on my Hard drive, and then reformat it. The HD itself is not corrupt or damaged, so this shouldn't seem to be a huge issue, but it seems to be...

Why do they always tie in through a locking carabiner in ads and promos? Seems like common sense would tell even a non-climber that tying your rope to your harness is the simplest and safest way.

I had windows XP on my laptop, but after someone corrupting part of it, I could not boot into windows. I didn't have my original CD, but borrowed a windows 2000 Pro CD from a room mate, and loaded that onto my computer. However, when I boot into windows 2000, I am unable to access my keyboard or touchpad to move the cursor. I think this might be because windows 2000 is not recognizing the pre-installed driver for these device, and therefor is not communicating with them. Does this sound possible? If so, is there any way to install drivers if the keys and mousepad appear inoperable? At this point I just want to save the photos and music off my hard drive ~(4gigs or so, either onto a CD or Flash drive) and then re-format the whole hard drive and use Linux. Thanks a lot for any help! For some background, my computer is a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. I know my keyboard itself is still functioning, because the arrows/"enter"/F? keys all work during setup. Please don't reply with something useless like "Use a mac" or whatever...

I think there has been a Metolius 4CU somewhere off to the left near the flake on Godzilla. Maybe Orange or Red size. I remember seeing every time I has climbed that pitch. Is there still a fixed DMM nut low-down on the 3rd pitch of NAD at Index? Sol got it stuck there a couple years ago and it was there last June.

I am looking for a room mate in Bellingham (there are curently 2 of us in a 3-bedroom house). Young, friendly, not super messy, and outdoorsy/active would be cool. It would be starting in April. No fixed lease or minimum time required. Rent is $275 and the house is about a mile north of Downtown. If anyone has any ideas, its much appreciated.

Anyone have a link to the near-death TR?

By this logic, all climbs of the notorious 10d Squamish offwidth "Pumpline" are in bad style, because the FA was a Free Solo, and now nobody is "respecting the style of the FA".

Squamish and index were both dry over the weekend.

Thanks Kullaberg, I emailed you at your FiveNineClimber address.

No way. They are both honest and genuine people who speak like a normal person, not a cliche-based politician. I feel like they probably both respect each other's commitment to principles and intellectual honesty. However, Paul's world-view starts with the premise that the federal government does very few things well, and hence should do very few things. He believe that the federal government should exist primarily to preserve freedoms and liberty, and that more power or authority given to a central administration paves the way to abuses of power. (See Bush Adm. 2001-2009) Nader basically starts from the assumption that unregulated market choices of buyers and sellers will create bad social conditions, and these conditions should be corrected prevented through federal government intervention. They agree on common sense issues like: Cuban Embargo, Drug War, corporatism/subsidies, government transparency, limited foreign military involvement, secret prisons, and Habeus Corpus.

Congrats to Max Hasson! Leavenworth climbers, representing in South America. All the tired smelly climbers drinking at Gustav's last summer might have Max to thank for getting their and brought to the table. Patagonia Sendage

Anyone willing to oblige a local guidebook author by providing a climbing picture of the NW face of Liberty Bell? If you have a picture, it would be most appreciated. Thanks! BlakeHerringtonATgmailDAWTcom

Edited to add: Grade V route on the (NW?) Face of Agnes Peak, and grade V route on the N face of Storm king, featuring ~3,000 vertical feet of climbing. SE Face of Dome Peak. Of course SE Mox peak has not even seen a First Ascent by any route.

Does anyone actually know when Skaha will be both legally accessible and legally climbable? Dru, please do not reply with useless information that is not a known date.

Panos, if you are in Seattle you could always swing by Pro Mountain Sports and ask Jim himself.

Darin, per prior particular prognostications, your precise peaks are periodically and perilously poached. Please provide plentiful pretty pictures of previously posted potentially-perfect projects.

In my view, someone is only "Christian" in so far as how their ideas and actions reflect those of Christ. With this criteria applied, little about the modern church, our nation, or many self-professed or born-again evangelicals (and their political positions) is particularly Christian. To me, the original poster's message is fairly "Christian" in how closely it resembles the admonition of Jesus to "Remove the stick from your own eye, before picking out the splinter of another." I'd suggest that christians who seek to convert others to their political or religious persuasion via arguments and name-calling would better serve their purpose by keeping fingers off the keyboard all together.

There is essentially no climbing in Bellingham. After driving and approaching, you can generally be at the base of a poor-quality single pitch route in about 60mins from town if you go to Mt. Erie.

Dan and Forrest are the only ones who have made it to the base thus far. If I remember correctly, they didn't succeed except for the first pitch or two. I know of 4 parties who made an attempt and none successful. Nice going on that one Carl & Jim. That route is getting the best of the alpine repeaters. Give it another couple of years...and a worthy partner. It wasn't just Dan and Forrest who had made it to the base, because there was more than one set of bail gear on P1. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/587517/site_id/1 Now a 2nd, 3rd ascent, FFA, plus a couple more failures, all in the last 2 summers. There are heaps of routes without 2nd ascents! Ignoring all the new routes from the last few years... How about: Flying Buttress on Redoubt NE Face of Tower Mountain Central Pillar on Swiss Peak Yvon Chouinard Route on Cutthroat Peak South Face of Cathedral (Looks great!?!) W. Face of South Gunsight Directissima - E Face of Colonel Foster - Vancouver Island

Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell both voted NO on this one. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00020
