You're asking for a cramponed kick in the nuts, hippie!

You better, if ya know what's good for you!

If I'm already back spraying on Saturday night, you know the weekend didn't go as planned

; seriously.

Am I the only one who thinks that makes sense? To get back on topic, I like the DC in early season when the cleaver is still covered in snow. It's certainly not the route you want if you're looking for solitude or a wilderness experience, but it has its advantages. And it is by far my favorite descent route! When you top out in shitty conditions, it's a relief to get on that low-angle, switchbacking trench and sail down to Muir.

PM Pandora. why? have they put a dsl line into the muir hut recently??? Whatever, kid . I haven't been up there in six weeks! I'm not even sure whether my little snowman prince is still there

How did he drag those bushes up with him?

If the weather is bad enough, yes!

So in your case, head=ass?

Doll, you don't know the half of it. Let's go climbing and show these wankers some alpine style.

uh, Mike... did you realize that Babushka is Russian for "grandmother"??

No one can fill my post-holing shoes, hon But BreezyD, you're welcome to try! I hereby challenge you to a slog-off! You pick the mountain and day, and we'll duel for the title of cc.com Posthole Queen

My dad and I climbed the Kautz Cleaver as our first non-dog route on Rainier a couple years back, 4th of July weekend. We approached via Comet Falls and Van Trump Park and camped at around 8400 feet on Wapowety Cleaver. The next day we got a late start, which was a bad idea considering how warm it was. At around 11,000 feet the ice chunks started whizzing past. Somehow we managed to avoid getting hit directly (more than once or twice anyway) and topped out after the longest summit day ever. There were a couple spots higher on the route that were either fairly steep or had a bit of exposure, but it's sweet and you'll dig it.

All I know about the Trango S is that when CascadeClimber wore them on a trip to the Sisters, he ran me and my plastics into the ground

partly sunny/mostly cloudy partly cloudy/mostly sunny ja?

w00t!

My dad bought his in February, and I purchased mine in March. Neither of us have received the annual permits either. I recall talking to one cc.commer who had not kept his temporary permit (I still have mine), and when he registered for another climb, the ranger took his word that he had paid for a permit earlier in the year.

Nice work, kiddo! No lost gear this time, eh?

Trask has moved on to bigger and better

Excellent! Glad to see I'm not the only one caught napping on the job

Pete, you're such a trickster

All you need to know is to be careful of what you get yourself into

My name was suggested by cracked. The image is one of Pandora's box, of course!

WHOA! WHAT A HOTTIE!
