OH8, OH8, OH8 Sunny & dry. OH8!

Seems Boner and JH do most the bitching. We all know Boner likes to stir the pot. We also know it's easy to get JH riled up. Thus the vicious cycle continues...

you're a young hipster, bring women! I'm neither young nor hip and I even managed to bring a couple extra Betties to the last ledge party AND a keg o beer. Bitchez!

Anyone looking for AT boots? AT Boots for Sale

I'm requesting that the seasonal onset of Bitching About Beacon not occur this year, or I'll be making some deletions. Its not a positive or acceptable use of this forum. strange, i seem to recall the forum was created more or less specifically to contain the bitching and keep it out of all the other honest, god-fearing forums Beatards, Beatards, Beatards!!! Occupy BEACON or DIE!

Problem with that many PK's comes in when the "joy stick" won't "erupt". I leave my "joystick" alone when I'm pounding PKs. Although I'm a mighty adroit multi-tasker, there are some tasks that are best left separated in palce and time... If you say so.

No promises dude. I will be there if it's dry! I can likely be there after you get off but need to run it by G-Ma manana. Surely the stars will align in cooperation on closing day, right?

how damp did it get today? i couldn't be out there earlier than 4 i don't think, but the moon is getting pretty near full, isn't it? I was working in the yard most of the day and did not see any rain at all. As long as it doesn't rain overnight, I think the corner should be doable. I'll be out earlier but might stay later if I can get grams to watch the rug rats...

40% chance of rain for closing day, anyone up for a lap or two? (weather permitting, of course) If it's dry, I will be out. Look me up.

totally understand. check geartrade.com. backcountry.com uses it for their returned items, if your size pops up you could find a good deal on boots, skis and even bindings. Thanks, I'll check them out.

Miker get'n das Corner done. Can't believe we did not run into Bill and Steve. Oh well, maybe next summer...

Thanks, Yeah, the weight savings of dynafits sure seems nice. I was thinking I could trade up in boots and keep my molded liners. Probably would not cost much if I went that route. Not quite in the budget now though. I've always owned fritcshi, the problems I did have w them, I was able to repair. Overall, they were pretty reliable. Um, yeah, agreed on the Markers. Last time I was looking they were making the "Duke" but have not really looked at what is currently on the market. Last years goods will be light years ahead of my old school gear.

More like "finally time to see-the-light side"... What would be the best all around, cascade front/backcountry ski & binding set-up, sans dynafit bindings? I'm due to upgrade the old AT gear and mostly want light & good "all around" skis/bindings. (ie - I don't really have a "quiver" to choose from for conditions)? I already have good boots but they are not dynafit compatible. If I wanted to pic up a nice pair of LAST YEARS goods, what should I look for? If any ya'lz has a pair that you are unloading, please let me know. I'm 5'10 175 *cough* er, 180lbs. Advanced skier. I'm not going to be doing anything too hard core at my age, but I do ski aggressive and steep lines. I know it is usually a toss up between heavy/stable vs light/squirly, but I'd guess they have some pretty cool shite to choose from nowadays, no? Aspirations of doing longer, more remote ski touring/mountaineering so reliability in the bindings is critical. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

U musta killed all the planets already.

PM sent.

Cheers to the "Crazy Feisty Russian" I've heard and read so much about but yet to meet. Psst, Keep it between the fences already!

This thread really shows how bad the spray has gotten lately. Have we finally hit bottom yet? Another sign it is soon the end o the world.

Still waiting here. fuq'n rain. GIVE ME SOME SNOW ALREADY, DAMNIT!

Not much yet... A few wet snowflakes flying.

Where do you find all these gems Bill?

I once blew out an old oval on a short sport climb fall. The biner did not break but was bent backwards leaving the gate wide open. It still held the rope in the hanger though. I think I still have it laying around somewhere.

Anywhere in particular?

I guess this makes us co-stockers?

By several accounts now, he's a miserable human being--not only here, but in person as well. How does someone become so obnoxious that they even manage to get their own trip report pulled? What's more, why would he refuse to apologize for recently threatening to "fuck my wife in the mouth"? Talented? Maybe, but not very smart at all. His pedantic style notwithstanding, his word structure, and even his spelling, indicate someone with some serious gaps in their education. An engineer? Maybe, but not a good one, I suspect. I do not like him, nor do I have any desire to meet him. He and I have nothing in common--other than the sickness that this website feeds. Don't feel guilty about the disgust that this poor excuse for a human being evokes. You're not alone. Careful, don't dis an "ordained minister"!
