I wish I could quit you...

Not sure if this will help, but here you go anayway I did a lot of 24 and 48 hour adventure races when I lived in the midwest and I came up with my own little nutritional strategy that works well for me. Like you, I cannot injest gu or bars forever or I start to feel sick and eventually stop hiking or puke. For me the key was actually eating a slightly more normal meal to fill up my stomach some and to give my palette a rest from all the bars. I would alternate a bar or a gu every 45-60 minutes for the entire race and every 6 hours I would eat a "real meal" which for me consisted of beef jerky, string cheese, and a couple rolls. If I could get a peice of fruit, I would eat that as well (usually a banana). This is when I would also take salt tablet depending on how hot it was. This strategy worked well for me and has allowed me to go for up to 31 hours straight without wanting to vomit. For a drink system, I always used a 4:1 ratio of water and gatorade. I have not tried Spiz yet, but I am interested in checking it out. Just not sure how I feel about drinks that contain fat and protein...

Aren't you supposed to snort coke?

Ooohhh, I need to get on that route again. Had to back off back in the late 90s...

When I arrived in WA (Feb), I was leading 8 trad / 9 sport, and at the end of summer I am leading 10 trad / 10+ sport. I have been here a little over 8 months now I have done the following (chestbeat!): Baker - Easton Rainier - Emmons (attempt, melted out) Guye peak Dragontail/Colchuck linkup Dragontail - Serpentine arete Tooth - south face solo, NE slabs (attempt, too much avalanche activity) Mt.Whitney - slog route Boundary peak - slog again Lots of cragging: Squamish - 4 weekends (Ultimate everything, Diedre, bannana peel, calculus crack, mosquito connection, many others) Darrington - Silent running Vantage - Most of sunshine wall and the feathers Index - Lots of time on the lower wall and Green Dragon on the upper wall Smith - Zebra zion, many other nice lines Exits - averaging about once every 2 weeks or so, running out of lines I can do... All this and I had to take a month off due to an injury. Can't wait to get my first ice season in here (assuming I can find the ice and someone to go with).

FYI: Make sure you bring a stick clip for the upper bolt ladders

She did several times, now we just have to wait for the sex tapes...

I know this is important information, but how did it get 5 stars?

And of course Fletch lives.

Do you have any technical gear? Rope? Snow stakes? What routes are you talking about doing?

So what happens at the end of the trapped in the closet saga? I have only seen the South park take.

Brain Candy

I always found Ouray to be great in early January. Not as many people and its not chopped out. Plus a large number of the pros show up early to start getting some sessions in before the festival. God I love climbing there. Why can't we have a Ouray out here?

Vertical limit

I think my biggest problem with this thing would be that it would hook on everything. No thanks, I'll stick with my ATC.

Seriously? I thought that movie was fucked up. Especially the last scene.

Nice work! Can't wait to get on the ice myself

That is a poorly made cake; he is missing his sheep fucking boots.

Maybe you are just white and nerdy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkhMcyuYroA

I finally got it! Its a squirrel!

What I wouldn't pay to have that hair style be in fashion again.

The photo is, but is the music?

Yea, Overture has that long chain. Has a nice crux low, and then the excellent pull over the roof. Still need to get it clean
