i like your butt, can i wear it as a hat?

one day there was a boy named anderson, and he spent his life climbing a huge pile of shit, now he has his own show and he is a jaded old man. unfortunately there are no pictures.

you work way harder than me. hopefully you are at least online in your master class, slacking at something!!!! or else i will feel bad about myself

see, i wasn't lieing about vantage, these guys are great!

sounds good to me (more motivated than anyone else i know), other than one thing, just go to the gym tonight, why wait if it is something you want to start doing?

in that case, the gym would be a great place to start, though it might take until spring to get outside but that is ok. maybe ask if anyone is headed to vantage and wouldn't mind if you tagged along. i mean, you will probably be totally pumped after 4-5 routes, so someone here might not mind helping you get up and out for the first day. you are right though, you just have to get out to make new climbing friends.

had a shot of jonny walker blue bought for me by the bar owner the other night durring the game, ummm, i am sold. now to start robbing banks to support a new drinking habit.

what grad program are you in by the way?

sorry, mountain gear, not mountain wear, my bad

Hey Kit, i just left spokane and maybe can help with a few thoughts. first of all, way to go on the weight! that is great. but i would agree carolyn and say the sooner you can start climbing, the better. the only way you are going to know if you enjoy it, and want to get better is by actually getting your hands and feet on rock. as far as gear shops, i really like the guys at mountain wear ? i think it was called. it is on like division and nora, north of zips(best hangover cure ever!) they will be able to get you going for sure, are really nice to talk to , rent snow shoes from, etc. mountain goat has the high end gear too, and is down near the climbing gym, which might not be a terrible place to start meeting the locals too. i went to gonzaga, and you might be able to meet some folks to head up to minihaha with for some bouldering or whatnot. just head into the outdoors office during the day and introduce yourself, let them know what you want to do, meet some more people. as far as mt. spokane, get a topo, some snowshoes, head out there, park at the cross country ski area and head up, it is a great day trip for sure. go up the west side to avoid the skiers! (you might want to plan a bit more, but you have basic mountaineering, so you should be good, easy daytrip, great way to get outside) in terms of rockclimbing, meeting like minded people to head you in the right direction is the right place to start, so good luck, and start as soon as you can, even if it is the gym in the wonderful easternwashington winter! oh, eastern has a pretty big outdoors department too for cheap rentals and trips i think you could probably go on. have fun!

maybe a job for the mounties

Seriously though, the point is to try and keep poo out of the streams etc. right? that is really why just pooping on the ground and not covering it is frowned upon when BIFFing(bathroom in forest floor). the rain/runoff etc carries the bacteria all around causing problems that people worry about, so i would say that is what you would worry about when pooing in "shallow" snow that will melt. it may just land on the ground, but it is still a bacteria hazard lying around for wildlife to be enthralled with. wow work sucks.

i already was in the "this week was bad for..." thread

nothing else

go get some there, not mt. hood.

precisely

cariboucellent photo actually, tv on the radio is pretty good too. though i don't know about occupying that top spot for the whole year

hahaha, wild turkey 101, i have three hairs on my chest from the three times i drank that, signifying three seperate times i threw up on my pants, wore them to class the next day, and didn't notice until i was walking home. and i wonder why i couldn't get dates with the smart girls...damn you 101

i really like pendletons whiskey. i mean, not sweet like bourbon, but for 30 bucks approx, i think it is great. it is what i pick up when not buying foxy brown (anyone know where i can get foxy in oregon, only have found it in montana)

sealbashers? that has to be a joke,,, right? where is peta on this thread?

pooping at work. i need more coffee.
