  1. Full Trip report? My buddy & I were aiming to tackle it this weekend. Besides the obvious ice cliff, what were the conditions like? Thanks in advance,
  2. If it has to haul skis & needs to be 40L, Sphynx is your best bet IMO. It has side ski straps more substantial than the Speed.
  3. I was up on the Squak/ Easton last Sat. The plan was to skin up to Sherman Peak and ski down the same day. Sherman peak looked heavily crevased, so we opted to traverse over to the Easton route. We only encountered one spicy snowbridge. Other than that, conditions were ideal. Descended the Squak, 12 hours car to car.
  4. Not all scooters are gay. The Lambretta pictured above and vintage Vespas are classy. Sure you have the Vinos on the other spectrum with the floral print that give the rest a bad name.
  5. would you pay if domesticated gays and lesbians picked the place for a picnic? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA57gysJSt4'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA57gysJSt4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA57gysJSt4
  6. No, they have have not paid it yet.
  7. aren't liberals still fighting new nuclear power plants? even though they are used all over europe and could help save our asses? That's deflecting from the point KKK. http://www.newser.com/story/20229.html Nearly 20 years after the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil in Prince William Sound, the company asked the Supreme Court to reject a ruling that it pay $2.5 billion in punitive damages.
  8. Ask these fellas at your local shop; Company........... MOUNTAIN HIGH SPORTS, INC. Address........... 105 E. 4TH AVENUE Location.......... ELLENSBURG WA 98926 Don't expect it to last long if you will leave it exposed. Actually, I wouldn't want my family climbing on it. Teach them how to lead climb instead.

    10 Reasons a Motorcycle is Better than a Woman 10) It only takes a few minutes to warm up, and if you don't want to ride long it won't complain. 9) There's no fuss if you want to take a nap after a long ride. 8) You can test drive it before making a commitment. 7) You can use it to pick up OTHER women. 6) You can swap with a friend. 5) The cost of maintenance is much less. 4) Once you've ridden it, it doesn't keep calling. 3) Bikes don't care how many other motorcycles you have. 2) If you ride it once, it won't look for you nine months later. 1) It has an odometer, so you can tell how many times it's "been around the block".

    Iraq

    I think you missed the part about "more than 100 soldiers in armoured vehicles as attack helicopters circled overhead. Soldiers redirected traffic, restricted access to the Americans and sharpshooters were posted on the rooftops." This is clearly not "the type of environment his men will be fighting in"

    Iraq

    No, Let's go to Iraq! With enough additional security, it's safe for an hour long visit to the market. Senator John McCain, arrived at Shorja market on Sunday with more than 100 soldiers in armoured vehicles as attack helicopters circled overhead. Soldiers redirected traffic, restricted access to the Americans and sharpshooters were posted on the rooftops. They wore bulletproof vests throughout their hour-long visit. Senator McCain and his three colleagues described Shorja as a safe, bustling place full of hopeful and warmly welcoming Iraqis — "Like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime," offered Republican Mike Pence. "What are they talking about?" said Ali Jassim Faiyad, owner of an electrical appliances shop. "The security procedures were abnormal. They paralysed the market when they came. This was only for the media." The market the congressmen say they saw is fundamentally different from the market Iraqis know. Merchants and customers say a campaign by insurgents to attack Baghdad's markets has put many shop owners out of business and forced radical changes in the way people shop. Shorja, set in a sprawling labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys, has been bombed at least six times in the past few months. http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/senators-security-circus/2007/04/03/1175366241393.html

    Iraq

    The Illinois senator made his only trip to Iraq in January 2006 as part of a congressional delegation. McCain, a senator from Arizona, has been to Iraq eight times, most recently in March. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-05-29-obama-mccain_N.htm
  14. That's exactly what you need. Close enough to keep you warm, doesn't restrict movement and room for a base layer. I have worn the hell out of my guide pants and they are still functional.

    Personally attacking those who don't agree with you? Classy. Still avoiding the greater issue? http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/05/senate.iraq/index.html Story Highlights Report says Bush administration misused intelligence in run-up to Iraq war Administration selectively declassified information to bolster case, report says Panel: Public misled about contacts between Saddam Hussein, al Qaeda White House spokeswoman calls findings old news -That is because we know there was no connection between Saddam & 9/11 and no WMD's. So how is this occupation justified?

    Just checking back on this thread to see if someone turned it into a religious argument to deflect a misguided point.
  17. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/04/democrats.wednesday/index.html Can you hear the "POP" sound of Hilary's head popping out of her ass?
  18. I had a ski pole catch on something and twist my arm around, you know like when the cops put handcuffs on you and then fell on my shoulder. It made a sublaxation (ball moved, but not completely out of socket). I was fine for weeks, except for some soreness, so I resumed lifting. After doing military press, my shoulder was PISSED. Had the MRI, saw an orthopedic specialist, just saw an orthopedic physical therapist today. Diagnosis, 1 cm tear of one out of four muscles that form the rotator cuff and contusion in my socket. My PT's recommendation (and relevant to Rob) is to strengthen your deltoid muscles. Your pecs may be fine, but those muscles have to work jointly with your shoulder muscles. The excersises prescribed to me were similar to the motions of arm wrestling, I don't know how to describe it without a diagram, but it was like the excersises in Will Gadd's Ice climbing book.
  19. I liked their business model, but doubted they could be greener than Pradagonia.
  20. Word! I was up there last weekend. Bring a bicycle & piss off a republican.
