Well the critics have a point. All those stoners will get the munchies and scarf down that oh-so-bad fast food.

Nice effort guys!

Who pissed in your corn flakes this morning?

I've been planning to throw superfeet in all my shoes and see if that helps. I assume your orthotics are prescribed/custom-made? funny thing is on multi-day trips, I really don't have problems. It's the day after a trip, first thing in the morning where I limp around like I've been hobbled a la "Misery".

I've got similar pain on my left foot, in front of the heel. I've attributed it to plantar fasciitis. I've had it for about a year, but there are times it is worse. Sux getting old...

they were probably posed by the photographer in that order.

You guys lucked out - we had no views of Rainier during our climb.

Eat a bag of dicks!

Porter try's to RickRoll.... and pulls a kevbone c'est tres a propos, considering it is a thread started by a complete retard

POTD

actually, it's kind of fun.

I don't have a set-up yet. Yes, the conditions were great for it!

It is West - not sure if it's Wahpenayo or some other peak on the Tatoosh ridge crest.

Trip: Lane Peak - Zipper Date: 2/14/2009 Trip Report: Yesterday I climbed Lane Peak with a few folks. Avy danger was forecast to be decreasing from Friday as moderate below 7000 ft. on N. aspects, so we decided to take a look at the route without beacons/probes. The objective viewed from the approach: The approach is easy and short, the worst part being the hike up the hill from the parking lot to the road above. Temps were in the high 20's. There was at least a foot of powder on the hill above a hard layer and it was slippery in spots. We used snowshoes on the road and up a fair amount of the avy fan leading up to the Zipper. We encountered variable snow conditions all day. When the snow got harder and icier we switched to 'pons and roped up. Immediately the snow got soft again - with more than a foot of loose powder on top. We immediately wondered if 1) this was a good idea due to the slope being loaded and a moderate avy forecast, 2) why we roped up since there wasn't going to be a need for pro. We headed up anyways. This involved a lot of wallowing. Only some sections of the route (very short) were firm at all. Overall it was pleasant climbing though. When we were about 2/3 of the way up, it started to snow lightly and got colder. Starting up the Zipper: Finishing up the Zipper: We topped off just after 1:30 and a couple folks scoped out the last pitch to the summit. It was steeper than the zipper (50 degrees at least) and looked icy. A couple folks decided to head down; the rest of us opted for a quick tag of the summit. The weather had just started to improve a this time. This last bit was the most "sporting" part of the day with about 100 feet of icy snow that took a few pickets and one ice screw (very marginal). A party in front of us climbed this part unroped, but it looked sketchy. You definitely want a 2nd tool for this, and will do some front-pointing. Summit pron: After tagging the summit we turned around and belayed one person to the tree just below and set up a rappel anchor and belayed each other to the anchor as well. We then set up a double-rope rappel to get past the "sporty" section, and then hauled ass to get back to the cars at 5:25 - just before dusk. This is steeper than it looks from the photo: A great day to be out! Gear Notes: Ice axe, 2nd tool, crampons, snowshoes, rope, a few pickets. Approach Notes: Around of foot of powder in the open areas, less in the forested area. Variable snow conditions.

Pardon me, but I get sick of this type of racist bullshit. you don't have to percieve it as racist if you don't want i reckon, but our national and recent history clearly shows our preference, no? Good call DeC!

WTH? IS THAT DAVE SCHULDT!?!???!?!?!?!?

It's all Bush's fault.

Eat something off a motel room floor?

LOL. Yeah, you clearly have "grown up" So, are you older than Phelps? Let him have a chance to "grow up" just like you "did".

Oh yeah.....did you happened to see his schedule during the games? He barely had a moment to take shit. Cry me a river. I have worked more daunting schedules than that with even more stress. Many of us do. Get this: We don't get to smoke pot either and we aren't making millions of dollars. Maybe you should - you'd be less uptight. Kevbone: hook him up!

Let the "law" take care of itself. The loss of sponsorships and public crucifixion have nothing to do with the law. Yes it does. He broke the law and is now paying for it. Kellogs doesn't want to be associated with a criminal. *yawn*

Let the "law" take care of itself. The loss of sponsorships and public crucifixion have nothing to do with the law.

Why should he? He's worked hard - let him enjoy himself.

Dave. What a right wing conservative statement to make. Just because it is bad for your lungs, you think it should not be legal for others to do? Didn’t you mean to say “ that said its not good for your lungs, just like smoking anything else, so I don’t think I will use it”…… Take care. Kevboner, you are proof positive of the inimical, irreversible effects of THC.
