I was thinking the PreMuir Wall by Rob Miller and Justen Sjong, but isn't that kind of a variation of the Muir Wall?

Marmot in Bellvue seems to have a lot of liners.

That's just it, I don't think they will get Hilary's vote but the democrats will lean towards a canidate that could appeal towards both parties. Obama is critical of the war, which is good because it gives voters an option to express thier disatisfaction with the war. Even if Obama wins, he will find it incredibly difficult to withdraw from Iraq, that is if he actually attempts to. Hilary can SAY she is against the war, but hasn't make promises to begin troop withdrawal.

Democrats are more likely to go with Hilary in the hopes that it will attract disenchanted republicans and swing states. The problem is that the republicans who disagree with Bush's policies will probably support their parties canidate, provided it's not McCain. Rudy is the republican's safest bet.

I think the Final Four will be Hilary or Obama (edge Hilary) vs. Mitt or Rudy (edge Rudy). Once the Dems and Republicans pick their canidates it will be easier to tell who will win.

I picked up Rock Warrior's way last week and already have it highlighted like it was a coloring book. Mark Twight's Extreme Alpinism book is bad ass. He has more overall nutirion and workout training information than Gadd's book. Although Gadd's book gets into specific excercises that I put into my repetiore immediately.

I got those days off work and am pumped for this event. nOOb, that I am, this will be my first time at an ice fest and doing some routes besides Alpental Falls. I asked the BD rep last night at FF if there will be Cobras to demo. He said their first batch of 50 will be ready next week and he is hoping to skim a couple off. Still there should be plenty of Vipers to demo.

"Waiting", it's only the Office Space of the Food service industry. Or "Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the Hood" so we can understand the harsh realities of living the hood.

Aww come on, it's a perfect excuse to throw on a down jacket.

Hey Crackers, Are you going to bring Cilogear packs for sale or just a few demos?

That happens to me all the time. I always chalked it up to friction from the belay device, accumulated dirt, etc. It's pretty normal as far as I can tell.

How about those windstopper headbands? Stocking stuffers!!!

Way to take advantage of the weather window last weekend.

Portland!! Then you will be more inclined for 2nd day air next time. That is if you don't go with Fed-Ex.

But the Billie Jean is not my lover, so I'll be there

reminds me of my ex, Mount Anything

For $350 the Nemo looks like a steal, 8 minutes left to make up my mind. Too bad I'm already over my monthly quota for gear purchases :-(

I have a 2001 Aprilia SL1000 Falco. Just got some saddle bags which fit my bivy and climbing gear perfectly. It is the only way to ride to WA Pass.

(crickets chirping)....and the winner of the debate is Hydroman for silencing the naysayers.

I did the same downsizing, no complaints. Although I would be worried if you eliminated a belay device in favor of a munter in your weight saving quest. Rope kinks suck.

Ever been so high, that you ate Fancy Feast?

Did you guys see the movie "Waiting"? The manager there has to be the archtype for the Food Service industry.

Bad ass, I was lurking around PRG's website for info on this. Can't wait to see the new Cobras and actually show up with my gear to climb.

Doubt it will happen. Even if he is convicted, he will be pardoned Scooter style.

Boss, "Hey I need you to write some credit memos. When I have some time we can go over it" Me, "That's not necessary, just give me the documentation and I will take care of it." Boss, "Well I have it on an Excel spreadsheet, lets' go over it later." Me, "I can read a spreadsheet." The micromanager still went over it with me.
