It's the helmet that makes that outfit pop.

"If I were a butterfly, I'd thank you, Lord, that I could fly. And if I were a wiggily worm, I'd thank you, Lord, that I could squirm. But I'll just thank you, Jesus, for making me ME, And making you YOU!"

Noooooo!

I wasn't talking about her. I know better.

Good points, Bug. It only took one time for someone to no-show on me before I invested in a solo set-up. No more wasted climbing opportunities if my partner flakes.

Doesn't bother me at all. I think she'd want it that way.

Yum! Mine, too! Let's put that on the menu for next year's Rope Up.

I've started stocking up on the Gluhwein when I do my beverage shopping in Leavenworth(love that wine shop in the Subway mercantile ). Not as sweet as some of the spiced plonk, it's the bees knees on a chilly evening.

Well-deserved kudos to you, Blake! It's been fun reading the TR's here of all the cool stuff you've put up this season--good to see that others can now share in some of that inspiration.

Don't underestimate what you can do with a good hand pump.

Can someone... explain why "Ree" looks like a blow-up doll???

You are a woman after my own heart! Given the choice, it's the rest of you I'd be after.

that's what I said, only more nasty Great minds think alike.

Smell my finger.

Apparently she's enjoying it more than we are.

I can. Or so I'm told.

I've been eyeing that forecast, as well... I might be out there Monday(Leavenworth).

That's sweet. How did we miss each other?? I think we watched you on Icicle Buttress on Saturday morning. There was a group on R&D for most of the day, then another group doing some stuff to the right that looked fun(one of the climbers wore a white helmet, burgundy shirt).

I think you're right, Bug. Looks like she's already double-posting to fatten up her count. Glad you had a good run up Midway!

I've fallen on my cams twice--both were first pieces and thankfully were well-placed so as not to pop. As a newbie trad leader, seeing the gear actually do what it is designed to do(ie-stop a fall) was a big deal. I remember hanging there looking at them in grateful amazement.

Thanks, hun! I'm glad Kelster and I hung around a bit on that first night...easier to get to know folks when it's a smaller group. Interesting to hear about your "Trees at Risk" test too. Good luck with that!

I baked a cake. That was friendly. Sorry if you didn't get a slice. I've still got the recipe around here if anyone wants a copy(for the "blackberry impossible pie".)

We just got home tonight...wanted to squeeze one more gorgeous day out of this fleeting fall season. Awesome weekend! It was great to meet some of the fine folks of cc.com and put some names to faces...shout out to Bug, Zonk, Ericb, Blake, Rad, Mythosgirl, Feck, Porter, MattP, Kurt Hicks... Also got in some good climbing. Took Kelly up her first Icicle multi's(Saber and R&D) and finally got a clean lead on Classic. (woot!) Another highlight was discovering a new restaurant in town: Dragonfly Bistro and Martini Lounge in the basement of the Bavarian Ritz hotel. Very hip place for der town. Urban, funky atmostphere with sushi bar, asian fusion menu, saki, and a dance floor. We got the sea-salt encrusted edamame, soba chili noodles and a light lime-infused curry. Yumm-o!

Running a "cookie cleaner"-type program can also do it. Good luck.

Is it your antivirus program or a security setting, perhaps? One of mine does that(logs me out of all my accounts after each visit if I leave it on the high security setting.)
