Mud wrestling? Thumb Wars?

I second that.

I thought the melting point for chocolate was 98 degrees?

You are the MAN SS!

I'm impressed that the police found a sleeping bag of yours in Alaska that was stolen in Bellingham. Glad to hear it too. They must have a team of the best detectives working around the clock in shifts... The dude abides

Must be the uber classic line at beacon rock that links up the ozone traverse?

Hmm, interesting theory. I've always thought climbing was a sport that often tended to attract some wiley characters. I've seen plenty of nice, "good" folks out there at the crags but have also seen as many "shady" characters living "outside the lines" of society "norms". Of course, we don't have any such types on cc.com.

Sorry to hear but nowhere is safe. I've heard of gear theft at base of crags, parking lot smash and grabs, on and on. Thieves like gyms because they can hit quite a few lockers and usually score something quickly. Even if it is locked they can sneak in bolt cutters. I used to work at a health club and some kids kept hitting the lockers and it took a long time to finally catch them in the act since they had a lookout and signals to alert the thief. My wife thinks I'm paranoid for telling her to lock the cars doors at night in our sleepy little town but once you come out and find your vehicle ransacked, you will never feel the same about security. It's unfortunate but crime is everywhere and will hit you when you least expect it, even if you think you are doing the right things to avoid being a target. Bummer!

If you want powder it all about Utah. They don't call it the greatest snow on earth for nothing. You can get good powder at many other areas but Utah is renowned world wide for it's light super dry, super fluffy pow pow. Alta, SnowBird and Solitude are all great but even better is the back country.

Zip it.

Hey, can't someone paste that hawtee in her undies up there on future beacon? Been a while since we've seen "what he wakes up to"... Or at least what he used to wake up to...

Think of all the trickle down economic benefits too. Eye patch makers, wooden leg companies and mail order hook arms are seeing incredible gains... not to mention the rum companies.

MMM bacon, beacon, beacon, bacon, mmmm. I sure hope that is vegan, free range, anti-antibiotic, sodium free, fair trade, eco friendly, nitrate free bacon though.

Barefoot none the less... shoes are aid.. Very impressive, if true.

MMM, Jensen's ridge, anyone for some yummy poison oak. Ivan?

I'm so sorry! Maybe your insurance will cover some sort of counseling or rehab?

Great idea, I'd be interested. Thought about it lately myself.

That is awesome :tup: I've boiled eggs with the in-suite coffee maker. It takes about two hours to get them fully hard-boiled and most coffee makers auto shut off after 1 hour. So be aware you need to cycle the power after and hour. A few boiled eggs plus a bowl of Cheerios and OJ == bfast of champions. (milk and OJ kept cold in the ice bucket, of course) Get a real job so you can afford to eat out like normal folks is also an alternative Or just hit the free continental breakfast that most hotels have nowadays.

I managed to pull that one off one time with an 18 pack in my buddies pack. He had no idea till we got to camp. My pack was still about 2.5 times the weight of his since I had all the gear, he just had a pack with a little food and MY beer.

I heard those guys can make a couple hundred bucks a day, location, location, location. You can buy a lot of fodees with that kind of cash.

Nice shot!

I would also leave a trail of bread crumbs along the way... ....and 10 essentials. Beer comes in 10 packs now?

I'll be looking at it when I wake up Saturday morning. Too bad my trip is only a solo backpacking journey. Poor thing, life is rough... Have fun!

Wow, I always thought of something like that but figured it was way off in the future. I guess we really do live in the future now...

Surely you jest?
