Last night we got to the gate at 5:04 PM. In front of us was a line of 20 cars...
Wow, what an experience! Climbers should stand up and protest. After all, this mountain doesn't belong to the goverment.

Thanks for the info!

I think, they are trying to cut down a number of climbers and potential accidents.

Rainier park rangers close the gate at Longmire at 5 pm. If a climbing party is late from the summit, it will be automatically strangled in the park for extra-night. If a person is injured or needs to be home urgently, he will find no exit from this situation. I find it counterintuitive and unwise.
I am wondering if anyone has a solution/experience with this issue. Thanks!

Why the hell Americans and Russians stopped getting high together? When I was growing up, religiously collecting these stamps, they promised to have artificial gardens on Mars.
BTW, I have this stamp!
That's really cool. I was 14 when the rendezvous took place and it was the most excitement I'd had since Apollo 13 blew a tank a few years earlier. I hate to say it, but the geopolitical world was a much more understandable place back in the days when you and I lived on the brink of a nuclear holocaust.
I was in my early teens as well when humans started acting like a single species...just for a brief moment. I kind off spaced out not realizing the cold war was on. What helped me stay ignorant, reading books like this:
Alenxander Beliaev "Star Katc" written in the 50s! This guy looks like a superman!!!

How do I join a masonic party in Portland?
dunno - pretty certain you gotta have some sorta ring though
she got my 1/2 lb golden ring. I got a pair of socks with the hole in them - work just fine if you cut off the bottom part.

We will be drinking vodka with Obama and Putin soon, singing "Girls, girls, girls..."
seems awfully unfair for berlusconi to be left out of this party

btw, oleg, love your new avatar image - is that from the russian version of fight club?
This guy (starring by Leonov) is a main character in a great Russian comedy "Gentlemen of luck”. He is a snitch (just a normal guy, a teacher in a daycare) who was integrated into a Russian prison to establish his dominance as “Pahan” (King). Although this episode is in Russian, watch a scene when he screams “Пасть порву, моргалы выколю!!!” It translates as “I will tear your trap and poke your blinkers” (prison slang)

Did anyone notice that the past two climbing area controversies were apparently Russian affairs?
First the spray painted climbs up at Leavenworth, and now this. Must be a cultural thing.
If you guys could stop doing this stuff, it would be great, mmmmkay?
To avoid generalization, we need to grant Ivan red passport and take away my US passport first.
I will make sure the cliffs are free of dust if you restrain your lovely kids from shopping in the local gunshops...

What language do I speak to people who confuse Pushkin with Putin?

I am simply a poet. How did you miss it?

What the fuck did I do, people?

Brothers! We all love mountains. Let us stop fighting, get laid and drunk and aim our guns at our common enemies. We all know what and who first drains and then kills a man of any nationality…
right Pat?

Rainier climbing and Longmire gate
in Climber's Board

I did talk to a person on a phone. In a thick South American accent, he explained to me that one can "probably" find a key at the office up until 5:30 pm, and after that "he doesn't know". It felt like the National park rangers are winter-hibernating. A mellow-land... Go figure.
