Good to hear someone is keeping up on their "Oprah Book Club"

Don't underestimate "el Cheapos". After having an bad ankle sprain last summer, those where all I could wear in the mountains, "except maybe ski boots" that allowed me to walk confidently without the fear of re-rolling it. I actually got pretty used to them, and ended up summiting many a high crag in them. Just sucks when the front catches and folds under so you catch air and eat trail dust in front of 25 3rd grader girls. Not to worry, I kicked everyone of their asses.

Damn, I only got my 62Bug, up to 67 going down the pass. "That was my top speed in it" Better than 8mph 1st gear going up. I think I got a record 50 middle fingers in 30 minutes of driving.

A lot must have changed in the past few years, for them to have worse cust. service than R E I. And they had a great selection compared to REI "Makalu" ..but hey, I guess you could hit up TARGET on your way out from REI. And then grab an Italian Soda at Starbucks. Mmmnnn Strip Malls.. 1 option I've had to do because of size issues, is to order a few pairs of boots shipped to a REI store "free shipping" and tried them on in the store. If I don't like them, I don't buy them. Order some more.. Just because the Boise REI doesn't have a selection doesn't mean they don't have it at another store or wharehouse.

Check out The Benchmark on Vista ave. They have good stuff, and are helpfull. And are right accross the street from a titty bar if you can't find anything your size and want to spend some money. I like my Asolo AFS Guidas. They have a stiff enough and high enuf backs to keep my legs from getting chewed by my Snowboard bindings.. Here are some REVIEWS

I've allready seen it twice.. I give it

Dammit, Alex, I TOLD you not to post that photo! How come that when I look at the picture I see the mountain, but when tomtom looks at it he sees the polypro?.. Anyway, what is it kinda secret code? Polypro makes one look like a montee? Zatknees Suka Pizta!

I have this bad LaFuma WarmN Light 1Kilo It packs small and has kept me warm in COLD weather. It's not the smallest or lightest, but it can be found cheap, and has a full length zipper.

I'd have to say that the bivy would appear to be well thought out and calculated. And from an armchair aspect, that crevasse would seem to swallow any blocks that might attack. And if the photo's aren't all they seem? I have climbed with both of you, and know you wouldn't plan a bivy in immediate danger.

I'm your man Focker!

I thought it was "never battle an unarmed man"

Press Play

Thats what I was shooting for

Yeah, I've done it quite a lot. It's really quite simple. Go to your local international airport, buy a ticket, board the plane, have a few complimentary drinks, and once the plane gets to cruising altitude, you've effectively acclimatized to 8,000 meters. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two once you take off! Actually, "At a 39,000 foot cruise altitude, the cabin pressure is equivalent to 6,900 feet or pressure of 11.5 psi (about) 450 feet less than Mexico City. reference here

Depends where you are. Some of the peaks in the sawtooths have more of a challenge finding the registar than finding the route. It's almost of game of "hide the registar" You have to get an alpine start, just to spend the necessary time on the summit hunting for the damn thing. If you dont find it, you have to carve a hole in your arm and write it out in blood on your t-shirt, shove it in your only water bottle. Makes for a thirsty/sunburnt descent, but it will be there next time.

Glad to hear you guys made it up it. Good job, it was tough early in the year, and only tougher now.

Don't anyone forget September 19th is officially "International talk like a Pirate Day"

go fuck yourself, Aaron. Bring it on Bitch ..I've got the on my side.. Your sleeping bags will be plagued with little holes from our furry friends

I'd Spray more, but I just got a JOB! I kept getting told I don't have the right qualifications..

Hmmnn I'm wondering just who the Troll is. If OregonBob isn't a Troll then... I think a "shut the fuck up asshole" is in order. There is a lot of spray going on here for a "non spray forum" How about everyone quits chest beating, and mind your fucking self.
