editing your responses, tsk tsk tsk. What happened to clever In all honesty, it didn't seem clever. I'd say lack of cleverness is a flogging offense around here but...

That way you don't get your hands dirty!

aaaaaah, but it's a classic and I'm lazy!

I've got some splitters i've been pretty happy with. They can certainly outclimb my lazy ass and i've had them on up to 8 or 10 hrs at a stretch and haven't lost any toenail

Only when she wants to be.

In that case i'll give you a good price for all your gear

Wasn't it the Mayans who used to play some game with rubber balls and hoops, where they sacrificed the losers? Hell, chimps masterbate and throw feces. Pointlessness has always been around and always will be!

Thread drift... But the book "Ascent" (biography of Willi Unsoeld) was fantastic! And yes climbing is pointless. So is jet skiing, pet ownership (dog, nodders, gimps etc), recreational sex, taking a shower every day, wearing ties to work, posting on cc.com, all thing on TV and the radio, the chimperor........ So it's not really any more pointless than most other things in life besides having kids, and providing food and shelter for them. Were just lucky that we have to spend less time on the necessities.

A bunch of you fuckers need to quit talking out of your ass. You want to know how leaders are selected? They volunteer their time, yep, that's about it. How many of you ever mentored a group of 20 or so young boys for years on end? To be critical of the organization is fine, but don't tie it to deaths of good people and kids. It's disgusting.

too fuckin hot. That's why it's Otter Pop time!!!

Demonstrations ladies?

I realize they're the evil empire and all but 2 lb 10 oz, and can shave 15 of those if you leave the floor. REI Gimme Shelter

Yes but think of how much she could have gotten done while making those 5000+ posts! Heck, Dru could probably have cured cancer by now!

Where's Icegirl been? She could probably set you up with a mainline.

I had a Prof. during my undergrad who's dissertation was on Sperm Motility in an Active Channel.

Now that's efficient slacking!

Cold Coffee as well, but a nice chilled Limoncello sounds awfully nice at the moment! Is absinthe still illegal in the US?

If your looking for cheap, REI has 2 lb something tarp shelter and ground cloth combo that pitchs' with trecking poles, and looks like it should sleep 2 and definitely keep the rain off.

Any suggestions on how to clean cams? I've got a TCU with one sticky lobe that won't spring back into place properly. I'm thinking rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush right now but I was wondering if anyone had fabulous trick for it? Thanks in advance.

Such route recommendation!

I tried the pole/axe combo on Glacier Peak a couple of years ago (doing the Frostbite Ridge carryover). With just a summit pack i'm not sure if it would have made a difference but with the full overnight kit it helped a great deal with balance, and i'd certainly recommend it. Just be sure not to stick your hand through the keeper strap on the pole and be ready to ditch it in a hurry.

Don't know about this weekend but Orbit was great yesterday

Yep, Salmon berries. Not very tasty for my money though, and only in really wet areas. Though there are ripe Thimbleberries and native Blackberries from the top of the switchbacks all the way to the turn off for Snow Creek wall! Walking back to the cars took a littl while!
