  1. Oooh boy... that's unfortunate.
  2. Can we get back to the part of the post that involved scantily clad women? I liked that much more. Here, I'll get us started:
  3. As soon as he finishes fixing her cable.
  4. March 14th is Steak and a blow job day! [video:youtube]hOYbFS2w_G4
  5. BTW, as of 2007, the youngest American on Everest was Samantha Larson, age 18. And she bagged the 7 summits...
  6. Mine rather quickly went from tight to wear-them-all-day comfy...
  7. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! $600? Anyone want to open a climbing museum? Though I think I see a crack'n up in there... might be interested in that one.
  8. I think someone needs to be taken down a peg... [video:youtube]JLO1YIWQuXE
  9. I use the first-gen BD Dry Tool glove, which I like a lot for ice climbing. The Dry Tool is apparently discontinued after two generations, and has been replaced by the Torque. The Torque is meant to be even more nimble, but offers even less insulation than the Dry Tool.
  10. try coming in hankie instead
  11. You mean you get excited watching shit like this?
  12. curious, i always thought elevating my BAL WAS therapeutic Exactly. So drink some more, elevate your BAL, and get it from sub-therapeutic to therapeutic levels.
  13. Baker has routes on it that can be done as a day climb. The Easton Glacier is one such route, as is the Coleman-Deming.
  14. Because of what DPS said -- the south side of Hood has an early season. No one climbs it in July due to objective hazard.

    ASSHOLES

    Coming right up... sort of... it's the incredible, reusable, ecofriendly Wallypop cloth wipes
  19. I was on my bike. That's OK. You can probably get a new Buick for less than the price of a new bike... In any case, glad you're OK enough to be spraying about it.
  20. Cheer up... I'm sure GM will happily sell you a new Buick real cheap
  21. Might be nice to post that video somewhere publicly accessible, assuming it does not violate the copyrights of any still existing holders. I'd certainly love to see it.
  22. The second edition apparently came out in 2008. More info here
  23. Use Handbrake. Works like a charm. Set the video to MPG-4 and the audio to AAC and you should be all set.
  24. Trip: Lane Peak - The Zipper Date: 2/20/2009 Trip Report: My friend Henry and I took advantage of the good weather and avalance forecast and tagged Lane Peak via the Zipper today. Left the car at 9am on slowshoes, and we were at the base of the climb at 10:30. Floatation was handy once we started climbing up from the creek to the base of the climb. Me approaching the start of the climb The snow was ~15-20 inches of soft stuff over hard crust, so we decided to skip roping up and soloed the couloir. It took a little over an hour. We had lunch at the top, took in the views, and relaxed for a while. Visibility was great, with St. Helens, Adams and Hood all being out. We had a hard time not staring at Rainier -- the Tatoosh make for a great vantage point. Henry in the couloir Me on the top of the couloir We thought about heading up that first (climber's right) gully to the summit, but decided to traverse to the west where we found what was the normal summit route. We tagged the summit, rapped down and started our descent by 2pm. On the descent we forgot about the bit of info that Layback75 posted about taking the leftmost gully and it took us a while to find the right place to descend. We were at the car a little after four, with the whole trip taking a tad over seven hours. Gear Notes: We brought a bunch but didn't use any of it. Approach Notes: Another couple of days like today would consolidate the soft snow in the couloir and make the climb perfect. Skis would have been good. No flotation necessary 'till the meadow. There is an obvious snowshoe track.
  25. They're not up on their website yet, and apparently won't be available until March. Bill, you're such a cock tease...
