1) Bugs should not be so bad as to require DEET.
2) No pitons. Clean pro only. Small alpine rack.
3) It's skiing season up there right now... and probably into July.

He appears to be wearing a bow tie. The cobra snake must have been reserved for less formal occasions.

Is means a form of the verb to be.

The solar panel does power the radio repeater. There's three in the park: Ruby, MacGregor, and Easy Ridge.
Nice TR!

From the Seattle Times: Clinton on Thursday launched a three-state, 21-hour, cross-country marathon campaign swing. Speaking to several hundred supporters in Charleston, W.Va., Clinton acknowledged she has come under growing pressure to drop out. She suggested she will stay at least until Tuesday's primary.
"Some folks say, 'You've got to end this before you get to West Virginia,' " she said. "I think we want to keep this going so the people of West Virginia's voices are heard."

I'll take May 14th (call me optimistic...).

People sometimes become disoriented on the Muir route, especially when poor weather closes in, which can happen suddenly. Pay close attention to terrain and landmarks on your way up, but keep in mind that they can disappear if the clouds close in. I wouldn't carry crampons, but poles could be handy. It's a trudge ...lots of one foot in front of the other.
Also, drink extra water and take extra deep breaths. Climbing up to 10,000 ft. can result in some nausea due to altitude. Dehydration can contribute to such illness.

If you started climbing at PP in '77, you beat me there by two years. I grew up climbing there and in the Icicle. Cro-Magnon requires you to tuck your knees up by your ears as you scrunch across a friction slab with a roof constricting over your head. I remember wishing I was a smaller person. And of course ...there's rattlesnakes there.
I'll see if I can locate my trigger finger picture and upload it.

Favorite tone? Well...that'd have to be Hendrix.

When I think of Stevie Ray Vaughn, I think of his tone. The secret to good tone on the electric guitar: thick strings and strong fingers.
Well... Howard Dumble amplifiers help, too...

Lotta birthdays in March.

Steve Hunter Intro to "Sweet Jane" from Lou Reed's Rock n' Roll Animal
Norman Blake "Old Brown Case" from Live at McCabe's

He's still playing though... Never achieved widespread popularity, but like I said before, he's known as a guitarist's guitarist.

Van Halen credits him with giving Van Halen the idea for two-handed tapping.

He played with Canned Heat at Woodstock. He played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers on the album "USA Union"

He played on the Rolling Stones 1976 album "Black and Blue"

Not Slash. Older. I believe this player is still actively performing. Some maintain this artist's use of manipulated sustained distortion influenced Hendrix's playing.

Considering looking at a Suzuki DR200 SE. Anybody have any experience with it? Need something for zipping around town and can't really see myself on a scooter... Any thoughts?
