He made everything on the route look like 5.6. I think he grunted once under the Great Roof.

I talked to my BMRC buddy who was part of the rescue. Here's the scoop: 2 Guys from WWU, unroped, on glacier, 3/4 up slope beneath high camp, guy takes fall down slope (no helmet) and into 65-70 foot crevasse. Friend climbs down (dude in hole has rope), gets him on pad, gets him in sleeping bag, heads out, gets help. Longstory short, the guy was AO4 pretty much the whole time, pretty banged up, really, really lucky. He's at harborview in the O.R. this morning(high femur fracture), but he's expected to make a full recovery.

I'm just glad that no rope holds got left behind. House would be PISSED!

The molten Al looked like Huber oozing up 5.13 like it was 5.6.

Other research has shown that psycilosybe 'shrooms give a person a long-lasting (as in months) sense of euphoria and well-being, probably a good thing for someone with Stage IV cancer.

So I was watching a vid of Huber on El Cap off of Google Video, skipped into the middle of it, and watched him make a 5.10 flake look like a 5.6. Then I watched the whole thing and learned he was making 5.13 look like 5.6. Then I burned all my gear.

I wonder when Steve will be going back to Denali to get his stove.

Perhaps Leland can offer forth some suggestions on proper bolting etiquette.

There's a topo?

Or...belay a bit higher in cracks below the 5.9 finger crack, chop the manky bolt belay, and go above and around the corner and belay. Link-a-dinka-DEEE!!!

SICKNESS!!!

I shot the Sheriff.

Saddam held his countrymen in an iron grip, regularly employing tools of torture to force his will.

Sheer Terror

Why do you insist on believing the antisino propaganda? It's just silly to think that the Chinese would do something like this. Silly!

Warning: You might want to check the U.B.C.s "V.O.C." (Varsity Outdoor Club) schedule before heading up to Squish. We got unlucky and shared the day with all 200 of them. As we drove into town early and came around the corner into Murrin, expecting to see no one, they were massed at the Bog Wall, filling the parking lot. Needless to say, the crags were crawling with people all day. If you're at UBC, you might want to think about joining the Junior Varsity Outdoor Center. The two VOC "guides" next to us spent two hours spraying to a captive audience of noobs about useless shit they really didn't need to know until anyone actually got tied in and climbed. Perhaps the JVOC is smaller and staffed by less awesome climbers, leading to more actual climbing for trip participants.

Looks more like a paraglider than a parachute, so probably not a BASE jump, IMHO.

I thought you'd be talking about THIS.

Right. Does he even include descriptions for climbs like "Clean Crack"?

I don't have the guide in front of me, but I don't think that that is the case.

Looks like it's going to get COLD!!! -30000F will put us well below absolute zero, so you'd better add a layer to your action suit.

My point.

1)An entire chicken has more surface area than a single chicken nugget. 2)It takes less energy to cook a single chicken nugget than it takes to cook an entire chicken. Therefore it takes less energy to keep a chicken nugget warm while it climbs in the winter than it would for an entire chicken. 3) Woolly mammoth tusks turned inward, indicating that woolly mammoths were in fact introverts. Question: Why are small dogs preferred over large dogs on dog sled teams?

Wrong. Larger people have a larger surface area, and therefore lose more heat through convection than smaller people. Think again. Volume increases as the cube whereas surface area increases as the square. I did not state the function of Surface Area v. Volume. Larger people have larger surface area. What is there to think again about? Additionally, because larger people have a larger volume, as you correctly stated, they have higher energy requirements and need more food to maintain homeostasis.
