Gear Express seemed to have good prices when I was checking them out. Stock wasn't so great though.

How much for the brass knuckles!!!

Is there such thing as tubing w/o beer?

Its OK when you can swim but its not swimming season yet.

The local Yakima SAR was at Tieton a couple weeks ago. Gaitors, beer bellies, loops of webbing everywhere, falling down trying to walk down the trail. Sketchy. I don't recomend ever needing a rescue in that area.

Too hot for index. Time to fish or mountain climb or sumthin.

Sicko.

Sweet! Nice Work!!

What a coincidence. I was thinking of me too. Ha Ha. Did you guys make it up LR?

That's no big deal. I don't even remember how old I am.

Climb: Rainier-Fuhrer Finger Climb and Descent Date of Climb: 6/24/2006 Trip Report: Kat and I left Paradise at 5:30 pm on Friday and skinned and hiked up to a camp around 9,000 ft by nine. Snow was nice and firm and temps cool once we got on the Nisqually and we were in the shade. Kat was feeling worn down from a road trip to Yos and extreme lack of sleep for the past few days, so she elected to sleep. I woke and melted water around 3:00 and left camp by a quarter to 4:00 am. Hiked up the Finger in 'poons, then stayed climbers' left of the Upper Nisqually (Sky's beta) and up to the broad summit slopes. Went up real fast and was feeling like shit so the last 800 feet or so went slow. Then I went down to about 13,000 and chilled / napped for about an hour waiting for shit to soften. Then I skiied down the upper Nisqually which was way fun obstacle course crevassiers skiing and into the finger which was steep smooth corn on skiier's right Yee Haw!!! Four thousand feet of good turns. Got back to camp and chilled for a bit in the sun, then Kat and I had another 3500 feet of fun corn turns back to the Nisqually, which I thought was just a blast on steep rollovers, rock bands, and skiing past crevices. Cool. Then I hung out on a rock while Kat hiked up to below Pan Point and skiied down to the Nisqually. Back at the truck by two with all the tourons in the parking lot and it was hot!! so we drank Pacifico with lime and gaped at the gapers. Fun times. Gear Notes: Tele gear, aluminum cramps, third tool used once. No pics 'cause Kat's camers was munched by a bear in Yos. Approach Notes: No 'schwacking!

Logical yes, appropriate...not really. Sometimes situations don't allow for proper "venting", a heads up thread is sometimes a nice way to get a concensus, or perhaps an answer from the offending party if infact they peruse the board. Or simply a chance to vent outside the situation. After the fact, smart alec replies don't help. Plus, such a course of action would violate the PNW's tradition of passive aggressivism. Better to just shut up about it at the time, then bitch about it later.

I'd recomend skiing on a glacier because its fun to get the sloggers all riled up by skiing over their ropes. Make sure you get your edges sharpened before hand though.

Aero Methow is very competent. I'm sure they did a great job.

Maybe he didn't see the rope until he had skiied over it.

I hear Leland super sport bolted a route on S Early too.

Yeah, breathing tubes are aid.

I think he's well enough to order him up a six-pack and a stripper. What room is he in?

Don't you mean muff diving?

If that were true, in my case, the skeeters would just get really drunk.

From the partner's forum ... What a tosser

If people want your help Gary they'll kidnap you, tie you up in their basement with duct tape, then have the Gimp ass-rape you until you reveal the perfect compromise between file size, resolution, and image dimensions. Until then, STFU noob!

That would be quite a steep hike!

Climbing accident or tree accident?

I would guess there are snow patches.
