this is all very sobering

is there a little purple monster biting your foot? if so you probably have the gout.

K2 the savage mountain, by houston & bates, is a heckuva book. I liked enduring patagonia also, can't remember the author

MY OTHER CAR IS MADE OF MEAT

As usual, the Japanese are years ahead of the west...check out this guy who spent 24 days hibernating after getting lost in the mountains.

anyway, Dean Potter's our ambassador...go talk to him

very nice pictures and story! sounds like you guys used good judgement up there next time, don't forget the dynamite, though!

how irresponsible - no 60+ pack with 3 weeks of food, no mre's, no plb, and that's not even a technical ice club. I'm not paying for HIS rescue, I tell you what.

I feel the same way, I just phrase it a little differently. When talking about something like this with a person of faith, I can't help but say that my own faith is utterly unaffected by what anyone else says (especially in Spray). And if it were, I would spend my time and effort looking for the reason why; and spend none of my effort on being offended or bothering other people with what is a deeply personal issue. Thanks folks....I was worried that newcomers wouldn't be able to grasp what I meant by echo chamber....nice illustration I'm deeply offended. oh piss off... hello!!!!

olyclimber=zombie jesus? is layton's roommate's head missing? WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF LAYTON'S ROOMMATE'S HEAD???

please to explain purpose of Mark VII's "crotch pincers"? disturbing!

you otter know better than to trust what you read on wikipedia

well it's safer than BASE jumping I'm sure

sometimes, though, your tauntaun might fall into a half-mile deep crack in the glacier. or zombie jesus might bite its head off. a couple of the risks you have to accept if you're crazy enough to climb IN THE WINTER.

heck yeah, a tauntaun is worth the weight. if you get lost, you're going to need some ladders to put in the shape of a "Y," indicating "yes, I'm here." Who's going to carry those ladders? A tauntaun, that's who.

you do look kind of sullen there; did the other adolescent supervillians pick on you?

that seems about as useful as a portuguese pocket dictionary, but what the heck, might as well throw it in there with the other 85 essentials.

HOTH = the ice planet, a handy place to get a new or used Tauntaun, which won't help you rope-solo, but can carry your pitons.

if those red tags are still there in 6 months and dru still hasn't sent, is it an open project?
