Now that's impressive.

So I guess if Tony is successful and makes it back down, all the nay-sayers will have to come up with some other reason why he should not be climbing. After all, when someone can just go out and climb a big peak with out all the presumed prerequisite stuff everyone else is saying he do, I'm guessing that will be a crushing blow to some of the elitist egos out there. Climbing seems to be one of those sports that people like to think only themselves, and maybe certain others, are qualified for such "extreme" activities. If something goes wrong there will be plenty of "I told you so" armchair quarterbacks. But bad shit can, and has happened plenty of times, to some of the best and most qualified climbers out there. Sometimes I think more experience is not necessarily a good thing either. People start thinking they know it all and/or just get careless and sloppy. Good luck Tony. Do your homework, be careful up there and know when to heed to the mountain. It will always be there for another attempt.

mmmm poached wings and gulls, yummy.

LOL

Good times! Hoping the weather guys are all wrong and we can squeeze in a few more laps on Sunday. It never rains in the gorge.

Also, Julbo has an excellent warranty and service. I just sent an ancient pair of glacier glasses back to them that I almost threw away because they were totally trashed. I got an e-mail from them today, just 3 days after I sent them in, and they told me since they no longer make that model I can pick a new pair from the Julbo website and the glasses would be shipped to me next week. The pair I sent in were also replacements they had given me over 10 years ago when I sent an even older pair in. Sure keeps me loyal to them.

Great pics, looks like a perfect day! Wish it was my turn!!

See you at noon in the parking lot.

I can get out Friday, mid morning or later.

If your asking me, I live in North Bonneville, WA. Which is about 5 minutes (by car) east of Beacon Rock State Park. 5 Miles west of Stevenson, WA.

Nepali Coast Trail on Kauai is really cool too. kind of sketchy for a small child though.

My back hurts just watching those flingy dead lifts so I guess I'm not worthy to pay someone to ridicule and denigrate me while working out.

But your missing all the great skiing here. 8 degrees, windy as hell but at least the snow is nice an icy. To bad your suffering down there. Tell Borat I said Hi.

NICE!

Dont you mean "Eye of the Tiger"? Duh....duh duh duh....duh duh duh....duh duh duuuuuhhhhh. Yo, AAADDDRRRRIIIAAANNNNEE!

Here I am, Rock you like a hurricane!

How about a penis and scrotal ottoman to complete the set? I sure hope that thing is "clean".

check pm

Well you're no fun! See if you get invited - BTW, how old are you? (good advice on the under the bridge tie off thing.) Old enough, but not as old as you're crusty ass! It's not so much the years as it is the mileage with me though (rode hard and put to bed wet, er somethin like that). I think I'll be forty soon but let me get out my kacalater.

Everyone know what REI stands for, right? Return Every Item!

oughta be clear, dry and cold as neptune's cock - enjoy! LOL

Thought about joining you in the suffer-fest but was pretty soaked from running the trail so I wussed out. Looked like as much fun as a toothache though. Prolly skiing Mon.

Also, if you run the rope(s) under the bridge and jump from the opposite site that it is anchored, you will get more swing angle. Course, you'd want to make sure the rope(s) would not rub/catch like it did in this incident. Some screamers might soften the ride too? Maybe when I was in my 20's but certainly not now. Looks like fun though.

If I show at all, I won't be late. Got some buddies wanting me to go ski so we'll see which looks like more fun. Have fun if I miss you out there. Monday is looking good too.

Stupid is a stupid does, as one genius puts it
