That's what I thought he meant.

Yes? Your....?

So, it's the Korthaus tomorrow around 7:30 PM? Do you have to pass through one of those metal detector thingies to get into the "Korthaus?"

My assumption is that this is a group sort of event, where we camp together and hook up with people to climb with at camp? Like at Rope-up. Otherwise, I'd be reluctant to make the trek down there, without a reasonable chance I will find someone to climb with. That being said, I will be happy to rope up with you, Dr. C. You might not have as much fun, though, because I climb a couple of grades lower than you. I'll be looking to climb in the 5.5-5.7 range, although I can belay up to, heck, 5.13a?

Thanks, guys.

And in case anyone cares, I found my keys! No? OK. Cool.

Hm, stockroom.com has some *interesting* items for your bounding and bondage pleasure. Then there's this--an authentic old-time chastity belt! Bizarro. Hey, MisterE TOLD me to go look! Or is it, MasterE?

I COULD have posted worse, just search "chastity belt"... Be right back...

Thanks, FindIt Man!

That poor woman! I bet a good plastic surgeon could do something about that grey band across her torso.

Dude.

...where would you be?

Never mind, just found a thread: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/303658/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1 Carry on, then.

Has anyone come across info. that indicates whether carbonated water, like Talking Rain, hydrates your body the same as tap water? I know it has other problems, such as leaching calcium, but I'm particularly wondering if I am getting any hydration benefits by drinking Talking Rain all day at work, or if the body cannot use carbonated water as it does uncarbonated water.

Probably this is covered somewhere? If not, I found some good information of how to safely go climbin' when you don't have a partner, and you just have to get out, here: http://www.tradgirl.com/climbing_faq/advanced.htm#trsolo Are there any other ideas or safe practices folk use? Thoughts on the info. in the link? TIA.

Is there already a thread on this? If not, is primaloft really as warm as down? Does it have any drawbacks over down? I'm thinking I might get an REI Gossamer primaloft coat with hood. Opinions? Thanks.

At Vantage: "And then you have to unstuck yourself..."

I think I'm going! I could use to carpool. Probably I'll take Friday off work and make it a 3-day weekend.

<sigh> Nobody to rope up with.

If you're referring to me, I've been scoffing at movie prices since they hit $6. Not relevant, I know, as your point is that peeps pay money for other "entertainment," so why not for visits to national parks? I don't see "nature" and the environment we live in as entertainment. It's the basis, an essential; it meets a human need (although, if you follow that line of argument, shouldn't all sex be free?). Parks are concentrated natural environments, set aside for respite, etc., in an industrialized society. I don't see it as a commodity to be purchased. But apparently that is the way of the future, and the now. BTW, the high cost of gas is precisely one of the reasons park entry fees should *not* rise. But, whatev. Nobody asked me, eh? Carry on, then.

I have a Hello Kitty zombie.

I have a Hello Kitty avatar. I bet you have a hello kitty tattoo!! Yup, t'at, too.

Ignore him. He's drunk.

You mean, did we freak to the beat of the Hallelujah chorus? 'Fraid not. Maybe next time!

Both!
