Gary, Be it digital art or photography, some of those images are really gorgeous. Just like climbing, in photography I think we all have an ill-defined ethical line of what is and isnt acceptable. To me I think exposure bracketing and such is a great tool to recreate the dyanmic range of an actual scene. I probably draw the line at moving animals around and such.

I had one of those rock gobots. They sucked. Voltron also sucked because of the pink one and the toys were made like shit. Transformers rocked, especially the metal ones. He-Man seemed pretty masculine compared to some of the other toys my older sister made me play with like Care Bears and Glow Worms. On a side note, what are your opinions on hyper color clothing?

Are suggesting a future Miss Cascade Climber Contest might be in the works? I cant wait.

Weekend climber, THat is a pretty great app. I hate having to go back and forth to six different web pages to see a weeks trends. Thanks!!!

Climbing Completing the Snow Traverse on Torment-Forbidden

Scenic Evening Sun on the Breadloaves City of Rocks, ID

Still within Ski Area boundary. Many of the best lines at Baker involve ducking one or more ropes. Unfortuneately many visitors don't know what ropes are good to duck and which aren't. The article may refer to a spot where people regularly duck one rope, then traverse back out before the cliff band. This is a fairly popular line in that case. As stated on TGR continuing down the fall line here is much less common. Condolences to the skiers family.

Any pics?

Slaphappy, Nice list. What about Poison Ivy Crack as well as the afformentioned other 8 mile rock cracks. Since this is a workshop and not just a tick list, I really like the idea of listing routes by specific (or crux) technique required. Hiking classic crack won't necessarily prep you for 5.9 fingers or OW. I think ideally (if Oly can do it) the list should try to have 2+ climbs per grade per area per technique when possible. Based on my limited experience at Tieton, this seems very possible there given the variety of cracks. At LW, easy finger cracks are a little harder to find for example, but knowing them would provide some real utility to the list. OOPS, dont forget crack

Glad it only took you ~5 omonths to figure that out. True hot or not polls should remain at www.hotornot.com

5.6 Left Side Mounties Dome Barney's Rubble Crack 5.7 Clamshell Crack (LW) .9 Inca Roads (Testpiece 5.9 everything IMO) Tangled up in blue Intro to 10a fingers Flying Circus Erics list is pretty comprehensive

Only climbed it once. Used double ropes clipping one before the traverse and the other after the traverse. Hand traversed to the crack because the mantle looked scary.

I like TV, and had considered going DSL/satellite thinking I could save some $$$. Just havent had the time in the last 3+ years to put the effort into finding out the exact savings.

So maybe you could save $10-25 vs comcast. I will have to look into it. I can never check DSL options cause I dont have a land phone # to search with on the websites.

I have cable now, but hate getting by comcast when DSL is only like $25/month. I was under the impression though that a phone line was necessary for DSL to work. Although I dont know why I thought that.

Can you still get DSL for a low price if you dont have an active land line?

I have the body of a man and the head of a dragon!

What could be so important to say that it cant just be sprayed on CC instead of over a phone. Just create the talk to Oly forum where all your family can login and chat with you.

Thanks, Didnt realize there was that much difference.

My fault. I checked Bend and it looked cold and snowy everyday. Terrebonne forecast looks pretty good Fri, and sunny and chilly saturday. Hmmm.

Smiffy forecast looks horrid! Is anybody still planning on going?

I think it was part of the Oly Takeover of 2005

My mom has a Civic Hybrid that shes had since the first year they came out. No major problems, but I will ask her for specifics when I see her on Turkeyday. My advisor has a Prius. His first one got totaled so now he is on his second. I have driven both and prefer the prius, although it looks kind of goofy. Both have good power, but the prius has more tech-nerd features and really good interior design. No blind spots and very well thought out. Both are great cars IMO. Personally, I am kind of excited about the Ford escape Hybrid for overall utility, however I have many doubts about ford quality compared to the japanese.

Smith may be in the cards for me as well. We will see how the forecast looks.
