Can anything top the heady, kynd vibes of the Rainbow Thread?

Sunburned the roof and back of my mouth on the n. ridge of baker a few years back. Perfect neve on the early morning ascent, but the heat turned on in the afternoon. Descending the coleman demming was like wallowing through a giant margarita, but there wasn't any tequilla. After a long, dehydrated, and hungry slog down through the mush and to the trail head, we set off, post haste, for Bob's in Bellingham. I didn't realize that I'd burned my mouth until I took the first bite of my burger and mustard squirted out and onto the burn . . . pain!!! Onion rings were like swallowing sandpaper. I had to drink my dinner, which helped ease the pain. that shit hurt for days.

The Things They Carried & Lake of the Woods are mind-bending. Yep, mind-bending is the best way to describe the first chapter of The Things They Carried.

I'll be in SLC for a few days later in the month, and am looking for some cragging recommendations. I'd like to minimize driving and maximize climbing, and am mostly interested in moderate trad routes (<5.10), but also like to check out quality sport routes or bouldering. If you had 2 1/2 days in the SLC area, what would be on your ticklist? Thanks

Yeah, st. eds does have some great hills. my wife and I ran there once, but haven't been able to muster the fortitude to go again after witnessing two dudes butt fucking in the bushes All our other Seattle-area trail runs have been sodomy-free. YMMV.

Disco is the best. Seward Park has some decent trails. The loop around the outside of the park is ~3 miles, and there are a bunch of trails that criss-cross the middle. Good hills and some of the only old growth in the city limits. Plus, a few pairs of nesting bald eagles! Carkeek Park has some good trails and hills as well.

yeah, but apparently he's a Canadian secret agent. Sounds rad.

It closed not long after they opened the Tacoma store. I think that spot is an off-ramp now. The Tukwila REI isn't too far out of the way if you're going from Sea-Tac to the White River entrance.

Make sure you bring your time machine.

Wow!!! Glad you're okay. You certainly picked a sweet line

bumpity. Somebody's gotta want to get after something . . .

That whole Royal Albert Hall show is phenomenal. A piece of rock history. I love that version of One Too Many Mornings. Electric Bob

Thanks Chuck. I'd forgoten that would be up today. Neil

Anyone interested in harvesting some corn or climbing on Sunday? Laps in Edith Creek or Tatoosh? Moderates in Lworth? Let's set it up.

I hope someone takes advantage of this outstanding opporunity to update the mounties pic thread.

Once the love is gone, there is no hope. Quit and sell me your rack for cheap.

Any suggestions for bouldering in the Mazama / Winthrop area? I've climbed at the crags (fun rock) in Mazama, and am looking for beta on other good blocs in the area. Thanks!

I can't believe I read this entire thread. Mods, please banninate me immediately.

Damn.

Got a pair of Grivel G-10Ls, and they fit my Syner-Gs perfectly. Unfortunately, Grivel has discontinued them.
