My first lead ever, First pitch of "White punks on Dope" needles CA.. Has a hanging belay with no bolts.. I just put in about 7 pieces and looped a huge sling through all of them.. When my partner got to the belay.. it was his shit I smelled..

He's a Grand Nominee with the Demacratic Party, He blew his wad early signing with the Dean Party, Thus lowering the chances for Edwards... Al Gore can still make a difference.. In this case it was very negative. Of course thats just my opinion.. If you liked ahhmmnnn "Dean" ...then you prolly love Gore

Just got a Grivel Alpine Wing Tool at Mountain Gear, the guy at the counter commented "that was an oldie" as I was leaving. I think he was talking about the Tool, maybe me I guess How old are they?

Are 31 & 706 closed for the season, from Spokane to Paradise? reference :Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto WA-123 (Portions may be closed seasonally). mapquest reference:Turn LEFT onto STEVENS CANYON RD/WA-706 W (Portions may be closed seasonally). mapquest I can't seem to find out for sure. And if it is closed, what is the next option.

My point is.. that this is no longer a "local or even national community" It's 2004 not 1884, We live in a "Global Community" Is it right for the U.S. to Sacrifice the lives of it's citizens and the citizens of other countries in this "Global Community" ...Just to insure It's "Current Level Of Power"

Agreed, but this is a hindsight 20/20 assessment. Wars are created for power and profit and detractors take the opposite tack in order to further their own aims. It's a yin&yang situation. Kerry claims to represent certain programs that appeal to idealists and Bush presents items that appeal to pragmatists. Just remember that all great civilizations have gone into decline after about a 200 year period. Almost all have been deteriorated from within (infighting) rather than conquered militarily. If putting our hands on the pulse of the 2nd largest oil reserve prevents this than I am all for it. If electing a dove who then wants to give away everything we have been over here accomplishing in the name of democracy then I would have to weep for the spinelessness of my fellow countrymen. Bush may not be perfect, but he has good people in his corner and a much clearer idea of what we need to maintain our current level of power in the world. Anyway care to quote your sources on the POW issue? "Current Power in the world" ??? At whose expence, if not ours?

It's in Nam Phen or however you spell it. It refers to the Kymer Rouge & Pol Pot. And how that was allowed to happen. From a non "Yankee" viewpoint.

Any of you ppl ever check out the war crimes museum in Cambodia? I don't think so.

Thanks for all the beta peeps.. But my question is Why didn't BD forsee this problem... Or did they?

Yup,Yup, why didn't you post this YESTERDAY.. but I only had one drill bit break.

Well, that definatly works.. done it b4.. but hey, at least I learned how to spell "scissors" I think?

I've got a "old" pair of BD Sabretooth crampons. The new abs plates I just got don't fit.. arrrhh, I need some of the old style ones. Evidentally I can't get any until next week. I'm flying out of Seattle Monday Morning. 2-23 Anyone have any Ideas?

I actually bought the tickets today for $353.0 before tax.. Travelocity.. The more the merrier..

Sorry for bugging all you guys for a climbing trip. I just bought cheap tickets to Mexico City. Doing Pico De Orizaba. I'm leaving a week from today. Anyone been there? Have any beta? Want to play frisbe at the summit?

LOL thanks for the advice.. You been there

All the coke a cola I bring to wash down the Rum.

When in June will you be in La Paz?

Anyone know how Banks Lake Ice will be this w/e?? Anyone want to meet up there?

Don't make fun of me toooooo much, being I'm new to the area, but where is Vantage?

Where do you live Greg, have you been on the mountain in April?

hehe your right..

I'm guilty of taking some boarders down some lines they shouldn't be on.. aka a little too much snow plowing.. but then again I remember thats because I couldn't find a skiier with enuf balls to hit it. I'm a huge skiier as well.. and I don't usually have the balls to hit some of the lines I do on a board.. Not saying you dudes aren't out there that can.. BUT obviously you are a minority, so quit bitching about stuff the MAJORITY likes to do.

All the snow will keep your beer cold.

I'm just getting over a cold too.
