But we still don't know who can piss the farthest. Is it JB or PP? I want my ten minutes back.

Count me as opposed to legislating the use of MLU's for climbing parties or any recreational activity group. Completely agree with and appreciate PMR's statement on mandating MLU use. That being said, someone's comment about keeping the rescuers in mind during these events got me thinking...(I know, dangerous) What if there would be a culture shift among climbers regarding MLU's when they consider a winter climb? I'm thinking along the lines of climbers starting to consider the dangers to a rescue team conducting a lengthy search/recovery when a pinging MLU might have shortened the rescuers exposure. I'm sure there are holes in my theory. Carry on.

...and La Sportiva boots have been desirable since before the '50's.

I have issues 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 22. Lot of seven for $140.00 or #3 for $35.00 #7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 22 for $25.00 each plus shipping

I believe you. My first time up there was the same experience. Plus we had engaged in some substance abuse at the top that impaired our route finding ability and it was pretty obvious the goat was aware of that and took pity on us. I never got a chance to thank that mountain goat.

I thought it was already open. http://mountrainierconditions.blogspot.com/2008/05/emmons-winthrop-glacier-w-inter-glacier.html

Yeah, that ad didn't look that sketchy. Plus, after I posted I realized that the jacket obviously doesn't look like a Frontpoint, Icefall, or Rock and Ice.

I'm sure someone at FF has already seen this, but in case they haven't.... http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/608969566.html

Coulda sworn his name was Jeb. Wait.... is there still another brother I need to worry about?!

Is this for real??! What a pathetic dork.

I 2nd Gilmore's. They keep my '67 E-100 Falcon running great.

I agree oly. The last 10 minutes of the film it seems like all the principle characters get shot in the head. (sorry about the spoiler to those who haven't seen it)

Alec Baldwin is a scene stealer in Scorsese's latest flick, "The Departed" "I need a cigarette. You want a cigarette? Are you one of those fitness freaks? You are a fitness freak! Fuck you! I think I paraphrased that a bit but his delivery is, as usual, spot on.

I'm confused... When does the climbing resume?

(to Marge who is lingering at the arts fair on the way to the chili cook-off) "C'mon Marge! Less artsy more fartsy!!"

Yeah, jazz and big band. Plus my dad's from Chicago, Krupa's hometown.

My dad keeps yammering on about some guy named Gene Krupa. Maybe its time to put him in a home.

You registered nearly 2 years ago and have a whopping 40 posts. Who's a voyeur? Nice Rant, Rob. I think you pretty much voiced what all the regulars think/feel. No, I'm only a lurker. If I want to achieve voyeur status I have to hang around any thread related to tragedy or morbidity and chime in repeatedly about how sorry I am and to remind everyone to trust in jesus. Or maybe I have to check out people's profiles to see when they registered and then perform some complicated calculations related to their number of posts that can help determine if they are a member of the gang or not. Damn, I knew I should've participated in the nodder thread, the rei sucks thread, and the aren't the mountaineers all gapers thread. Too late now. Back to lurking.

Wow, I feel alot better after reading your post. Seriously, thank-you. I was starting to think I was the only one. The voyeurs on this site are really creeping me out. oh and happy birthday.

So did Phil just refer to the stranded climbers as popsicles? And did he previously state that climbers are arrogant? Implying he is not? I'm confused Phil. Please clarify. I'm sure the family and friends of the stranded climbers would appreciate that also.

HA! HA! Our elaborate ruse dragged Fido back into the light. Welcome back.
