Woah... What a story! to coast guard and rescue crew!

"Nothing is fucked? The goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain!"

I fucking love this site... You guys crack me up! Bleeding anus on the first reply... I suppose the closest we have to that is maybe this little guy?

Great pics! That looks like hard work!!!! for getting as far as you did in that stuff!

Hey Kit, Thanks for the TR. Great photos, and good job with da writeup. Sounds like a sufferfest! Glad you got a chance to play around up there, and again, I'm glad you guys got off safely!

Awesome! We gonna see a TR?

Sorry about Ptarmigan, though clearly you made the right descision. Glad you made it up onto Gibralter too, and I look forward to seeing the TR! A fun time climbing precludes the importance of summiting in my book.

I got yer new hobby right here plexus. Shit, that dood certianly isn't getting fat, and I'm guessing that since he is still getting his fair share of that he is having fun too...

Going along with that 20% off coupon, you could get a 60m dry treated 10.6mm rope right now for about 100 bucks. I wish I could find deals like that when I actually need a new rope.

I knew where that was going as soon as I read this: Sucks dood... I had a minor incident on a 2 finger pocket about 6 months ago. I let it be for over a month and it got better, but like I said, it was pretty minor, not the full blown mess you seem to have got yourself into. I say take advantage and start up a new sport...

What about the naked clown on the pogo stick? That's just wierd...

Congrats dude! !!! When I first read this part: I read "We'll find out in 2 weeks if it's my fault." Goes to show that I'm not quite parenting material yet! Anyway, good luck, and again congrats!

Hello! Welcome to the area! So, not sure where you're gonna find good alpine rock routes this time of year... You comfy with glaciers and steep snow? Obviously you are close to Hood routes, which are probably the best bet for alpine now, specially for "one dayerz." Once the driving approach to the Sisters area (via pole creek) or Mt. Jefferson areas start to open up there are great, though very strenous one day routes there. Mostly snow and ice climbs here... Don't expect much from the rock on the cascade volcanos, it's mostly crap. Once things start to melt out there are decent routes on Mt Washington, Broken top, or mt Theilsen. Mostly choss, but if you read "Oregon High" it becomes rapidly apparent which routes suck. If you want good alpine rock routes this summer, you are going to have to start thinking about the north cascades. From PDX, I would expect that most trips you will take will be >1 day. Sure, maybe the routes will go in one day, but often the driving approach will be 3 hours minimum. I recommend checking out the following books: Oregon High - Jeff Thomas Selected Climbs in the Cascades (Vol I and II) - Nelson and Potterfield Cascade Alpine Guide (Vol I - III) - Fred Beckey Each of these will be a great resource for ya. Finally, I would say don't forget that Smith is only 3ish hours from ya... Not alpine, though really a climbing destination not to be missed if you living in OR. Good luck out there!

Shit I wish I wasn't poor...

My god, I should cite that paper in my thesis... That's amazing!

Have you guys seen this link on the petzl page? It's way more fun that work. You get to make up scenarios where your buddy gets hurt taking falls and stuff. Actually pretty neat... I wonder how realistic the math is? Petzl is so cool!

The games are sweet, eh? Mine has something called "waypoint bomber" or something. It's pretty tuff to figure out, and I think it has something to do with running around and throwing your GPS unit at your partner and you get points based on how hard you hit them.

Dude, you need to get a shittier car. I'll give you mine if you want. Over 65 and it gets to rattlin in ways that would make want/need to go slower. I don't even drive it anymore. No tickets in the past few years though, knock on wood. Oh wait, I take that back, I did get a ticket in Salem cause it was too loud. When she told me why I had been pulled over I wasn't sure if I should laugh or not!

Sickity sick. Great job! I was wondering if anyone was going to get away from the Hood focus, and had thought about the 11 myself, though too busy with stoopid school. I guess the sled approach is pretty handy, eh? Too bad about the pics cause I'm sure they would have been schweet! Thanks for the writeup!

That is fucking sweet. I like the sick shots of that kitten!

I'm guessing that based on the weather that this trip is coming to a very unfortunate halt. Sucks trying to plan for a big trip and then having weather screw it up! Specially if you're from outta town and have already organized transportation! Let us know what you end up doing anyway (specially if your up there!)!

Interested in the harness, but would like to see a photo before making an offer that you can't refuse!

Dude, sick photos... I need to get me some of that icy stuff one of these days!

Sorry, missed the single part in the subject... Other ?'s still there though.

Single? Double? With rain fly? Pic? Sorry, just interested in more info.
