Where do you find such detailed weather info...the Environment Canada site is not that specific.

I'm planning to head up this weekend...if anyone is up there this week, pics or beta on the glacier condition would be much appreciated.

I'd love top hear you theory, Bill. I just figured your non-response was because you didn't have one. Certainly it is not because USA is a defender of democracy and justice...this is clear from the atrocities where US has NOT intervened. Its my opinion that saying this is a "War on Terror" is clever framing of the debate. Are we any safer from terror now? Or are just causing to be raised up a new generation of terrorists? On the other hand, it certainly a convenient way to get the masses to give up rights and freedoms. I'll post references for my previous post soon, just need to look them up again

Well said. But not well thought out or true. Isn't it fun to pretend this regime is a bunch of inept imbiciles? Ever consider they know exactly what they are doing and everything is going to plan? I don't mean Bush and his cronies, I mean the folks pulling the puppet strings.

The REAL goal of this war is to justify spending on the military industrial complex which is another way of saying giving handouts to Cheney and his buddies. This is what war has always been about and always will be. They have a vested interest to drag this out and make the people believe this is about democracy or oil or freedom or whatever smoke screen the masses will believe.

Whats with all the stalker threads lately?

Mix, Arch and TTK must be out climbing together

bump.

Canadians are having the most fun.

I am in Vancouver, BC, would be up for some multi-pitch stuff in Squamish or something alpine (open to suggestions, anything that can be done as a day trip). Have rack and rope, lead up to 10a/b comfortably, willing to follow up to 10d/11a. Happy to rope gun or be rope gunned.

Reagan was a puppet. His only talent is teleprompt reading. I suspect the same for George W.

WTF is with your avatar pic, Marc? Thats just wrong.

no, thats not safe.

When was the last election that *wasn't* just sound bites. Welcome to the age of television. MTV has whittled our collective attention spans to where thats the only way politicians can reach us (by "us" i mean the masses, not the learned CC.com sprayers ;-) We'll get legitimate political discourse as soon as we demand it. A good read on the subject: Neil Postman, "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Political Discourse in the Age of Entertainment". Its an easy read given the subject matter. Along the same lines I just finished Chomsky, "Understanding Power". Interesting book that reframes world events from 1960-ish through 1990s (published just after the WTC bombing), easy read (broken into short sections/topics) but I am still digesting all the info. Anybody here read it? Maybe I'll start my own thread on the subject.

How is your Florida thread going KKK?

8 hours and 7 minutes You guys should try teh interwebs sometime... http://www.mapquest.com/mq/3-BHWa

I second the keep your big hexes for alpine stuff...much lighter way to carry big pro or double up on big sizes and/or cheap leave-behinds when backing off. I have #8-11 and place them. I left two backing off the North North Arete in the rain last year. However, I do have to put up with some mocking from those who prefer to carry triples of their #2-#4 camalots up the trail. I can live with that. If Marc doesn't want them, I'll take them.

bad idea to ask for climbng advice in spray.

True story: I work for a medical IT company and was doing some research on mammography. I got a call from corporate IT asking to explain my "activities". WTF? Do they have some bozo sitting behind a terminal monitoring how many sites I visit that have naughty words (like "breast")?!?!111 F'n twits, do they not have any idea what the company actually does?

When I went car camping, we took the Pac-n-Play with us. Granted, we have a big tent that it fit inside plus room for mom and dad. Recently we took him on an overnight biking trip with a small lightweight tent and had the same worries. We just put him on a foam pad between us. He's never slept better - must have been all the fresh air.
