I'm stuck in a hotel in Cincinnati... been doing pushups and situps for the last hour. What else is there to do to stay/get strong without equipment?

These are just my bad _climbing_ pics.

I snapped that shot after he asked me if my friend and I would form a human chain with him so he could walk onto the cornice on the crater rim of St. Helens.

I own this thread.

Sweet d00d. Is your gf psyched on alpine climbing now?

Nope. And it's not me either.

I share your affliction GT. Ashw_justin and I hit Baker for a little July freshies on Sat. Here's some pics. Yep, those are big flakes falling. Skiing on the summit plateau Sorry about tagging on to your thread.

Here's one. There are many things wrong with this picture.

I'm waiting right now... oh shyte there's my phone.

Dude, (n)icegirl got you pretty good with that one . I'll admit, it took me a minute too.

I once built an anchor consisting of two t-slotted pickets and one vertically driven picket. Justin, do you remember this? I was belaying a folower up (not Justin) and they fell twice, the second time taking a pretty big pendulum. The anchors did not budge, but then I spent a lot of time and thought on how I dug the trenches and how I placed the driven picket. I didn't love the experience, and three pickets is definitly not my first choice for an anchor. But the belay was solid.

Why don't you put some of that thought-energy into figuring out how to get some dough together to buy a real set of ice tools.

It stopped being of interest to you or your partner?

It's all about tayloring your dexterity level to the moment. If you want to seem innocent, then fumble a little. "Gee... I haven't been with some one for a long time..." If you want to seem like the playa you are then the one-handed unhook is a great way to get her bra off...

I also suffer. I feel your pain.

I moved out here (the PNW) very recently and I've met a few people from this site. My first experience was that I got blown off, but it wasn't really the guys fault. After that everyone I've met from this site has been great, except when I had to look at ashw_justin's foot on Baker.

The slopes at the top of the JPG are pretty steep and you are directly above a large ice-fall. This is why we opted for the Russell galcier for descent. Nice TR Donn. Here's my pics. Chad at the bivy. Donn and Chadd checking out the 'schrund. Our tracks on the JPG. Donn and Chad on the KER. Me and the summit pinnacle Chadd on the descent.

I got my right big toe too cold this winter and now I can't fit into my tight rock shoes for more than 15 minutes without serious pain. It sucks.

I went to FF today and even though they didn't have what I was looking for the "long-hair" behind the counter drew me a map to SA and gave me their phone number. He was cool to me.

my bad. I thought you took 'em off.

Oh yeah, b-rock we saw your turns.

D00d, why did you take the sweet purple stickers off of your boots.
