THERMOGENESIS!

I remember reading climbing reports in late 2003 that said the only teams making it up the glacier were those that climbed into, and then back out of, crevasses that blocked the way. The Tahoma wasn't too bad at the beginning of July last year, but I think by the end of the month it would have been difficult to pass. And this year....well, let's just say it's going to be an early season.

w00t! You crazy snow-driving, cougar-escaping, tree crack-climbing, slush-stomping, 5.4-sending, frozen-nuts-glissading madmen! Here's to all that and more!

Right on, my dawgs! That is some sweet shizzle.

Rad TR! These kinds of climbs are so much fun to read about. I get super stoked. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet, d00d. I really like these two photos! Summit enlightenment is always a good thing.

CC and I were among the poor fools who drove down Saturday. We got all of two pitches in before it started raining. It snowed at the Grasslands that night, too. In the morning we drove to Bachelor. So much for warm tuff in the sun! Glad you boys got some, Foxy.

The shit you guys come up with is laughable. I'm not sure where specialed got his info, but I can tell you it's untrue. And even if it were, it wouldn't be anyone's business but my own. I'm not sure why I always get dragged into your NOLSe bashing (he isn't usually the one who mentions me), especially since we're no longer dating. I have Greg_W to thank for teaching me that it really doesn't matter what people on a BBS are saying about you . Spray away.

Saturday: Skiing with cracked. Sunday: Skiing with CascadeClimber. FRESHIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEZ!

Ah, screw Smith this weekend!

I am in search of a fellow wanker to jam cracks and pull nubbins at the tuffland of Smiffay this weekend. PM if you are old enough to buy Mike's and get smashed at the Grasslands.

Hey, you changed the title of the thread.

I got one!

Sweet photos, Thrash! I particularly like the first one and the shot of ivan. But that second picture...Am I seeing things or did you photoshop a monster-dog into it?

Your loss, sugar .

Is anyone else packed and ready to go RIGHT NOW?

I won't be at Smiffay this weekend - sorry to disappoint, my fellow .commies . Yesterday Rainier had a more favorable forecast than Smith. Of course that has now changed, but I must heed the call! Time to get spanked during another winter attempt. w00tw00t

Count me in, dawgs!

I don't see what the big deal is. Someone wrote a book to make a profit. Isn't that what every author does? I mean, if you're going to skewer somebody for doing that, why not go after people who fill hundreds of pages about the Clinton sex scandal . At least this is about something positive. As with any book: if you're not interested in the subject matter, don't read it.

Glitter? I'm on it!

If we continue to get this crazy un-winterlike weather (rain, sun, no snow, rain), it'll probably be all rock even that early in the year . It looked pretty snowy today though . My guess is that in late May/early June the headwall will still be mostly snow but the rockbands will be partially melted out.

Didn't find much to read in this thread, kid ....some cool photos though. My favorite:

Stone Gardens is it for me...it just feels more relaxed and friendly, and saving money is always a plus. Also, if you are deathly afraid of Gri-gri's, as I am, you will stay out of VW!
