There are not many bands with great keyboardists. Good stuff!

Don Airey played on that Rainbow album, but that's cool

So are some delicious chicken recipes. Gonna have some classic roasted chicken tonight in fact.

Richard Lord would be, but Jon? Don't see it.

Perfect Strangers was also simultaneously the greatest and the worst television program ever created. Balki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That show was horrible. I bet Kevbone liked it.

Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice. Each a virtuoso.

Hush Highway Star Smoke on the Water Woman from Tokyo All still on airwaves regularly. Apparently you can't count either Weird, I had the song Hush running through my mind as I read this thread. Carry on. Band reunions can often come across as flat, but damn if Perfect Strangers was not an ass-kicking song, including Jon Lord's intro.

Not sure why you feel the need to shit on other people's threads, but if a fuck you is in order here, it is directed towards you. Now bugger off already.

Use the internet, boner. Not only ignorant, but stupid. From Wikipedia: Deep Purple are cited, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, as pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal.[3][5] The group have influenced a number of rock bands, including Metallica,[92] Queen,[93] Aerosmith,[94] Van Halen,[95] Alice in Chains,[96] Pantera,[97] Bon Jovi,[98] Rush,[99] Motörhead,[100] as well as many New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands such as Iron Maiden,[101] Judas Priest,[102] and Def Leppard.[103] Iron Maiden's bassist and primary songwriter, Steve Harris, states that the band's "heaviness" was inspired by "Black Sabbath and Deep Purple with a bit of Zeppelin thrown in."[104] Lead vocalist of Def Leppard, Joe Elliot, has stated, "In 1971, there were only three bands that mattered, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple."[4] In 2000, Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" programme.[105] In 2011, they received the Innovator Award at the 2011 Classic Rock Awards in London.[16]

Someone who makes Eddie Van Halen look like a 5 year old playing chopsticks at his first piano recital. ("Jump" LOL)

You don't just rope up on a glacier to be able to group arrest. If you keep slack out of the rope and someone punches through a hidden crevasse or unstable snow bridge they will should not fall far, whereas without roping up you could go for a long ride.

An event held annually in Puyallup?

sounds "fun"

There are 37 and 40 m glacier ropes that are sold (at least I recall that when shopping in the past). For moderate slopes a 30m is fine for 2-3 persons, including the DC.

30m is fine for that route, IMO. Try out your prusiks first on it, if they slip, wrap an extra time.

North Twin Sister (N face I think). It is about 50 degrees at the top and eases going down. It may be melted back by now, but you may be in luck if you hit it soon.

And post after post of this, is OK? "douchey, can you create your own insults or are you a total total dumb fucking clowpunch incapable of any creative process? so far: reposts: 2, creativity:0. looks like one sided game. I was going to post pic of your mom, but you beat me to it. good job salty breath."

Trip: Kangaroo Temple - North Face Date: 7/8/2012 Trip Report: SG and I led a couple of beginners up the N face of Kangaroo Temple on Sunday, the day after we climbed SEWS. We were pretty beat from the previous day's work so this trip was a welcome notch lower - at least on the technical part. Unfortunately, I lost my camera battery on the summit of SEWS, so I only have a few photos taken by another party on the route that day. See approach notes for a conditions report. This is a fun, easy route with great exposure and views. There is also a cool 5.7 route nearby (NW face) which I have been meaning to try. KK leading around the exposed corner on the third pitch: KK topping out on the third pitch: Gear Notes: Small alpine rack up to 2". You could use a C4 #3 if you have one with you. Approach Notes: Patchy snow from the parking lot until where the valley steepens. Much of the climber's trail through the bush is either flooded or under snow, and tricky to follow. The snow is melting fast, however. There is still a ton of snow up to the pass, and the climbers trail from there to Kangaroo Temple still has a lot of steep snow to maneuver around. Just below the notch on KT you can either ascend steep snow or stay climber's left on the loose rocky trail.

Go Ron Paul!!

You are tearing it up this year Matt! Good one!
