Couloir

Sorry, 4 hours and 28 min. I suck! http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?newaddr=...s&terr=3005

Plastic is a petroleum product.

Gotta love tolerance and an open mind for a different opinion!

Eugene is actually much closer to Smith than Medford (~2.5 hours compared to ~4.5 hours). I'd choose Eugene anyway. Pretty cool town, laid back, college town and less than an hour to the beach too.

I believe the Mazamas still do this sort of thing. Also, in Forest Park, the Friends of Forest Park do this sort of thing almost year round. http://www.mazamas.org/activities/trail_tending.php and http://www.friendsofforestpark.org/html/our_projects.html

I know I'm tired of wiggers.

I've strategically cut out the butt of my neon spandex capris, don a very tight wife-beater--trimmed off mid-tummy and holla-hoop my gear sling around my sweatband-laden, mullet-sportin' head while I'm waiting for the short bus too arrive. Who's with me!?!?

It's sold in virtually every climbing shop that sells books (Climb Axe, US Outdoor, Mountain Shop, OMC, REI, et.al.) and yes, it's a great guidebook.

So, did the ever find that cat?

Another vote for the Edelrid Ultralite. I love mine. I haven't used it in really warm environments, but I have heard it can be too warm. I'm not concered about it though.

I was running in Forest Park one time and I snuck off on a side trail to pee and low and behold there was a huge pile of poop. Well, the person didn't have any toilet paper so they used a dollar bill!! I returned a week later and went to the same spot. Low and behold the dollar bill was gone! Wow!

I bet it is extremely tasty right now.

John - Until now I wasn't aware of your site. It's INCREDIBLE. Thank you for taking the time and resources to put this all together. Nice work!

That looks like a great site. I wasn't aware of it. Thanks for posting.

I hope I don't get suicided some day!

Not to get too into government conspiracy, but if this is what's available commercially, think of what the govenrment has.

I agree. Over the years though I've learned to accept it as is and not get too frustrated about it. Short of sleeping pills every night. What else is there to do? Maybe I should limit it to just one bottle of wine a night instead of two...and several beers. I hear that doesn't make for good, restful REM sleep!

Probably better than then. I think they've had about 6 feet of fresh up there in the past several weeks.

That's exactly what I was looking for. At first glance they tend to make sense. Though I have not placed them in rock, I was trying them out in my garage of all places and though they seem intuitive, I definitely see why you almost have to place them in the perfect crack. Which as we all know, seldom exists. I'm reluctant to sell them on Ebay. I'd hate to have them ultimately contribute to someone's death. I'm not hurting for cash, maybe I'll just hang onto them. Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I came across some old SMC Camalots--a whole rack plus some hexes. I'm going to resling everything, but I was wondering if these Camalots are truly a thing of the past and I should avoid them , OR reslung, they're good to go? The whole rack is in excellent shape. I would imagine used maybe once or twice. Some of them not at all. They're simply old. For those that don't remember, these were "the latest thing" at one time. They are like Tricams only hollowed out (in the larger sizes) like hexes. Any thoughts?

Bought a MH Voodoo a few months back. Love it.

Get Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search and Destroy. Both are recommended by Microsoft to get rid of Spyware. Clean out your cookies and files everytime you surf. Run this software at least weekly. Make sure your virus software is current and has automatic updating. Make sure you have windows update on automatic for critical updates. And, if you're paranoid about anything else that might be saved on your computer, get Window Washer by Webroot.

I was wondering something similar when the Robert Blake verdict was announced and afterward during that bizarre press conference he was rambling on. I was thinking, what if he walked and of there and said, "Those fuckers bought it. Can you believe that?!?!" I mean, he can't be retried. Is there anything that could be done at that point?? I know he is trying the settle the civil suit of wrongful death now. A comment like that would obviously spell dome for him. But beyond that, what could the state do?

I know, I thought the same thing. From what I understand, they take the crushed ring, melt it down and make a new ring for the next Pope. Lots of history in those rings. Though I have more issues with the Catholic church and Christianity in general than I can count, above all that, I have a very deep respect for the man. I find it difficult to not truly revere him. And I honor his passing.

Oh...never mind. Wrong crowd.
