Make sure you really want to buy what you want to buy at Marmot. Unless they've changed their policy, you can't bring it back, even with the tags still on it, never ever used, and with the receipt!
I don't shop there anymore just for that reason.Anyone want a brand new pair of Marmot Aplinist GT sidezip pants? I still have the receipt, and the tags are still on 'em.
Marmot's return policy blows goats.

right, one of those east coast "M" states.

Nobody is going to stop Petacchi in the sprints. Even if he has a camel toe.
Jon isn't talking about Petacchi (or whoever)
Can't you see? This is a cry for help. Jon is searching for the willpower to stop posting pics of men in stupid attire. (Insert Mountaineer photos here).
Jon: "Hi, My name's Jon, and I post stupid pics on the internet"
Everyone: "Hi Johhhhn."

Keeping my wife in line? That is not in my job description.
Hey Offwhite,
I just signed you up for a perscription to:

How to keep your wife in line??
Simple, just make sure you’re the best fuck of her life!
True, that.

1) altitude?
2) fatigue?
3) Classic Climb on a Popular Mountain might attract less able people.
It would be great to see a breakdown of statistics for accidents on Rainier, and what route they occured vs. some other peaks in the NW. Anyone?

Starting on W.R. of Prussik Peak, what would be the crux of a traverse along The Temple all the way to the end of the ridge? Is this easily done without aiding?
-
What do you think as far as protection...sling over the little deer head or cam in the tiger's mouth?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT GEAR PLACEMENT??? CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S AT THE CRUX?!?
Clearly, he's about to start the leftward traverse across that table there. (watch out for those chossy books, they can be loose, and hazardess to the belayer).
Once he moves left out of the crux, he will sling the wall lamp...

Rock climbing is like a puzzle -- it's an enigma. You have to problemsolve. You have to build up a strategy to get up a rock,"
Yeah, rockclimbing, strategy... enigma... whatever...JUST SEND IT BEYOTCH!

Go buy a copy of the Exit 38 Guide by Garth Bruce. They sell it in REI and the Mountaineers bookstore. You'll be able to figure it all out for yourself by reading the book.
I would recommend you try a place called the Gritscone on the Far Side. Everything there is top-ropeable and there are routes that start at 5.6. To get there drive the Exit 38 frontage road until it passes beneath the freeway. Park on the gravel shoulder under some power lines, before you come to a gate. Hike the road until you come to a bridge, which you cross and pick up a trail immediately on your right. The trail meets an old road for a buried telephone cable. Follow this until you come to a fork. Take the right fork at a small stream crossing and it is only a hundred yards or so to the Gritscone, which is a lumpy rock outcropping in heavy forest. As the name suggests it is gritty with good traction for your feet. Enjoy.
Bring some quick draws with which to set up your top rope, that is, don't pass the rope through the chains. If you want to be ultrasafe, you can replace the biners to which you clip the rope with locking biners, but it is not necessary.
Yeah, what he said. Gritscone is good for beginners. Very Top-rope-able.

Sorry for the divergence, I had a few beers and was listening to Doof
Did someone say "Ta Doof"? Climb! Climb! Climb!

One last thing D.C. :
Right now, is the best time to climb with someone who knows what they're doing. If you learn bad technique from the start, that bad form can be ingrained in your style for a long time.
Cheers!

Maybe Annabelle took this stuff to Everest BC?
Of course not, fool! She had it DELIVERED there.

You can drive to the Trailhead of Eldorado right now.
(the one near Cascade Pass).
The snow is at the top of the upper boulder field on the approach. Very vew crevasses open right now.
