Will complimentary Almond Roca be provided? Can I bring my h0tt european girlfriend? Where's the prefunk @? What time? Looking forward to it Colin!

Nice work guys! Great TR! The force is strong with this one WESTSIDE!

An ice climber from Phoenix? I call bullshit :laf: Nice work guys... Chris: I hope you have started looking for a therapist... when your sabbatical is over you are going to get post sabbatical depression bad! Terry: looking forward to climbing some ice with you in CO this winter

Awesome work guys! I couldn't agree more! Amazing route! Just a heads up on the rating for anyone thinking about heading up: the girth pillar currently has 2 independent routes... Jim's route that existed before the early 90's rock fall which is still there/unaltered from the rockfall and very much 11c. Reading your TR it sounds like the route you guys did was the line that was created as a result of the rockfall (expando) and is 11-/10+ depending on who you ask (A0 if you ask me ... one of these trips Ill free it all) Also depending on which side of the pillar you top out will dictate how hard/long the remaining pitches you have to climb to the false summit are... the right side finish is much shorter/easier than the left side finish. Again: great work! You guys are STRONG!

It's all about MILK. $2 per gallon? w00t! I drank a liter every day one summer I was biking every day. I was wicked strong. EXACTLY! Milk is one of the most PERFECT sport nutrition drinks. Especially if you get 1% fat chocolate milk - its got near perfect ratios of carbs to protein to fats. Certainly beats the shit out of powerade. Probably the most important thing I've learned about sports nutrition is that its all about ratios. You can't just go eat a shit ton of protein and expect to gain anything. You've got eat roughly four carb units per unit of protein. Care to explain how 20 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving is the perfect sports drink?

Ok.....what is your definition of "real pizza"? Let me guess....something from New York? Everyones taste buds are different friend. Escape From NY - it's in NW, 23rd I think? Best pizza in Portland, by far. But I might be biased, being from NY and all.... Have you been here yet? kens artisan pizza

Hammer makes great stuff Hey Scott: your diet and exercise regiment will dictate whether or not you bulk up or stay lean... not the type of protein you are taking.

Nice work Elisif and Nick!

Today's Oregonian: skull The article in the Oregonian has a picture of some unsexy patrons Anyone curious should swing by sometime and watch a workout

Buffalo is meat dumb fuck.

None of those are close to my work. Zeitgeist would be doable if I am in Pioneer Square for some reason (doubtful). Do you have hot water at your work? If so this freedom press works great! Seriously though... french press + local fair trade coffee that has been roasted < week and ground right before you are ready to add the hot water is the way to go

Just one rope. Bring some extra rap material just in case. Post a TR when you get back!

Hey E! Being that you have more hair on your back than on your head we both know you weren't shopping for hair care products and randomly found this... I can't help but wonder... do you seriously have nothing better to do but google spelling variations of people's names who post here?

For those of you who can't find - 60, 90 or 120 min doghead (12 oz bottle) - TG IPA (6 pack) - Hair of the Dog Blue Dot (22 oz bottle) in SEA for whatever reason and will be at Colin's slideshow get a hold of me.

cc.com it's a lot like kindergarten... ...only it's a class of all boys and maybe a girl or two (so you're told... you've never actually seen one) and everyone is convinced you suck at coloring even though none of them seem to color. ever.

Nice work guys I don't know if I would call the west face of the north peak "crumbly" or "shitty"... the rock is as sound as anything on stuart... it just has what looks like an "onion skin" that makes gear placements and smearing difficult... I personally never felt like I was going to rip something off in my hands. Yes it isn't clean Index granite... but you were only the 3rd ascent. Great TR!

cc.com not only am I stupid enough to talk about climbing on the internet but I actually paid for this t shirt cc.com god i am going to regret this someday cc.com at least it isn't coloradoclimbers.com cc.com yes dru posts here also cc.com spray - action = spray or talk - action = spray cc.com spray is job one

Being that it is the best IPA in the US I thought it deserved a mention... I don't know where you can get them... I'm in PDX If you are going to be at Colin's slideshow get a hold of me and we can work something out...

cc.com ask me about my windshirt

cc.com because all the girls at the climbing gym have boyfriends cc.com because all the porn sites at my work are blocked cc.com because if you actually saw me climb there is no way you'd ask me for beta cc.com partners for creating and supporting a false sense of importance in climbers everywhere cc.com this way you have no idea how bad I truly suck cc.com anonymity has its privileges cc.com 10000 posts and 4 avatars later and all I got was this lousy t shirt cc.com ask me how to lose up to 3 grades of climbing in 2 months or your money back! cc.com i'm not really a climber but i play one on the internet cc.com What was I thinking?!?! cc.com And you thought quitting smoking was hard...
