  1. Cause "The best climbing in Oregon is in Washington."
  2. I was about to upgrade my Camalots to the C4s (mine are the last generation) till I saw the thread about the DMMs. Now I guess I will wait till February and then make the upgrade.
  3. Yeah, I agree... I don't mind genuine engagement but I hate it when I go to Safeway, for example, and it is painfully obvious that every employee is required to say hello to me, even if it is done in the most un-genuine, fake manner. There is always a fine line of being too pushy or not available. The bag checking seems reasonable if asked in a nice way, though.
  4. And just when I thought I did not need any more cams... Shaweet!
  5. If your belayer is belaying from inside a Walmart tarp tent, then all climbs will be at least a full grade easier.
  6. Yeah!
  7. Well I guess you haven't heard of me, but I'm kind of a big deal. This is a little primer with some background. Some day you'll thank me. Just look at the crap I've had to deal with: [video:youtube]oPXH7PjqhB0 Nowdays things are a lot mellower...I like music and chilling out. Anyway, I hope this has answered your question, Indiana. Dude, that's my uncle (my Dad's bro) you just blew away at 7 mins and 23 seconds. You really upset my grandmother when that happened. I think you blew him away another time in Hard to Kill...
  8. So which one is Dawg and which one is Pope?
  9. I have a red Astralplane that I purchased about 1994 and I believe it says it "Bozeman, MT" right on the tag. I was at REI and my buddy convinced me to spend the extra $150, or whatever it was, and I am so glad he talked me into it... "Dave, as much shit as you carry, you deserve the Astralplane". It has been a great pack and still going strong 15 years later. (Although most of those years it has been in the gear closet). Not sure when the switch was made, but look your pack over and see if any of the tags say Bozeman, MT on them. If not, it is likely made in Mexico.
  10. Check PM's
  11. Seeing how most hand sanitizer gels are alcohol based, a little spark should get it going. Throw in a few Fritos and you have a bonfire...
  12. This adds a whole new meaning to "giving great belay"...
  13. I just passed by Beacon about 10 minutes ago and the big CLOSED sign is still there. If someone takes the sign down, it would then be open, right?
  14. When does the cc.com thread-staple Kevbone bashing begin?
  15. Nice! Since you did not post any pics, here are a few from our trip up Prusik W Ridge a couple weeks ago. I left my camera on the roof of my car after our trip. I knew I should not have but I was so tired and was just closing the hatch back. Sure enough, I spaced it and did not realize it for another 15-20 minutes. I went back and found the case on the road but no camera in sight. Bummer, as I had just bought it before our trip. Lucky for me, a good sole - Andrew found it on the road and tracked me down through the ranger station. He said "the pics were so good, I could zoom in and read your backcountry permit... However, the permit was turned around so I could not read your names..." THANK YOU ANDREW!!! What a great area! Can't wait to go back and do the South Face.
  16. Nice, but, how did Tiger Woods do?
  17. Bummer, RIP John!
  18. Don't leave Jetta drivers out of this thread!
  19. Yeah, go for the Beacon Bacon Double with cheese. I hear the gull wings are good too, especially when poached.
  20. When I called the park yesterday, they seemed to know just a bit less than I already knew, which aint much. Opening on the 15th sounds about right... she did say "there is some falcon activity", though.
  21. Uh-oh, Pink is grumpy again, honeymoon over already?

    I GOT....

    Uh, maybe for the first year, then you will NEVER get any... Congrats & good luck! "Marriage is a contract, you'd better read it before you sign it" were some of the wisest words I ever disregarded.
