If you're planning on finding partners on CC.com, just post trip reports and chat with people. Either way, most people will want to do something mellow with a total stranger before taking on a big objective, so I'm not sure it actually matters that much.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't flaming you. Actually, I don't think ANYBODY has been flaming you. And to be fair, unless you are being dishonest about your experience, Mt. Adams is WELL below your skill set. Incidentally, I don't remember recommending you do anything "well above" your comfort zone. In fact, I would have been happy to have provided additional routes which you might have found more interesting, given your experiences and ambitions. I was trying to give you the benefit of my local experience, to help you have a better experience in the PNW -- and you threw back in my face, and then cried about being "flamed." Anyway, I hope you have a good trip. Mt. Adams has some nice views.

"advice." Hmm. I'm not advocating you do a "more dangerous" mountain, I'm advocating you pick an objective that will teach you something. It sounds like Mt. Adams is well within your abilities. It's an awful long trip and I'm just trying to save you some disappointment, but if you want to sound like an ungrateful, know-it-all prick to someone bothering to take time to answer your question, be my guest. What do you think you're going to learn on Mt. Adams that you couldn't learn in the White Mountains? What interested you about Adams, other than the altitude? If you're going to come ALL THE WAY out here, there are better options. But it sounds like you already have it all figured out. Cheers!

Cut spending on the poor and middle class, and give all that extra money to the rich in the form of tax breaks. What's not to love about that plan? Now, just dress it up in teabaggery and Atlas Shrugged verbage, and voila! Brilliant!

I like Gov. Daniels WAY more than Christie. Christie is a dumb fuck. At least Daniels cuts spending AND raises (some) taxes. He at least tried to (temporarily) raise the income tax on the rich in his state.

Why is your next step to graduate to "something over 10,000 feet?" Mt. Adams is really boring, and it sounds like you already know how to walk uphill on snow. If I was going to fly all the way to Washington from Maine, Mt. Adams would NOT be my climb of choice, ESPECIALLY if I wanted to learn "alpine climbing."

Ironic that somebody who admires the protesters across the world demanding in one voice something so simple as the right to vote, would belittle our ballot box in the same breath.

THe man behind the curtain. LOL. CONSPIRACY!!!!!!

Tell that to Rosa Parks.

She won't be able to talk on the phone tomorrow. Take my word for it, she'll have her mouth full.

THIS COULD BE OUR YEAR!!!!

Justice Thomas touched my wee-wee when I was a child.

Also, make sure everyone knows you're white.

I just wore my FF puffy to ride home from the Stumbling Monk, and it made my life better. I was so toasty I was giggling. Best $$ I ever spent. Thanks FF!!

OK, devil's advocate time. Federal employees don't have collective bargaining rights. Why should state employees? And why does Obama support state employees keeping their collective bargaining status, but refuses to give the same right to federal employees? Why shouldn't the states have the same flexibility the President has regarding managing compensation?

I knew a girl who can pee standing up. I'll ask her what kind of sports bra she uses.

Then I'd be able to visit your mom faster.

But, Nitrox has already admitted this has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility, and everything to do with revenge. Why bother confusing the issue with facts? He just wants to "stick it to the unions," so it really doesn't matter how much they get paid. It's too much.

well, at least you admit this is about political revenge, and not common sense. Kudos, I guess.

Not that long, in your case.

Considering how much money we spend on our military, World War II never really ended.

+1, well-said Who got us into this mess in the first place? And now those same people want to make teachers and linemen pay the check, while fighting tooth-and-nail for tax cuts for the richest of the rich. It's like reverse robin hood.

I'm teabagging for sarah.

I do a lot of solo work on my dickerman, but never for a full day. You got an ugly face or something?
