Oh, something like an Infinity FX35 or FX45, for example. Or a Porsche Cayenne.

I'd second that suggestion. There have been some nice first ascents put up, and it would be great to be able to get to them quickly.

What I would like to know is which god you pissed off... there's been an awful lot of crap coming your way recently. This way I'll know to stay on his good side...

Yeah, that looked very much like an ex-

Well, actually, maybe not quite "likey" -- the dark blue highlighted bar makes the black text difficult to read. Other than that, it's a nice scheme

Oooo, me likey

Yeah, I switched to it and it works pretty well for me. I liked the blue color scheme better, but this isn't bad.

Yes, I'm sure your trips to Lightning Dome will never be the same again

I'm not kidding. I'm pretty sure I've seen this at REI before...

True dat... call them back-country bondage accessories and sell them next to the hand-cranked margarita blender and the other crap they seem to carry these days.

Well, the default style on Firefox3/Windows looks like ass. The font is too small, there's these annoying gold bars highlighting every other active topic, and it looks too busy overall.

And a couple of lusty wenches.

Ah yes, the same guys that make plastic nuts

And a crucial little bit from their website: "Working on CE and UIAA certification." No thanks, I'll wait...

Hmmm, no. They look new on the market. No references to them anywhere. Maybe it is CCH attempting to rebrand themselves

And hey, if people are stupid enough to buy this stuff for $20, then Metolius will just keep on making it.

If you happen to see an airstream trailer with the logo of a cast-iron skillet on the side of it, stop by and get some food -- these guys rock

Good time of the year to go. Did this a few years ago right after Thanksgiving and it was excellent. If you're going up the standard route from the hut, don't bother with ropes -- it is just a long snow slog even though it is on the Jamapa glacier. Any one of the outfits working out of Tlachichuca is probably fine. Most people go with Reyes -- we didn't, but I can't remember whom we used. The new climbers hut is very large and very noisy. The three of us opted to sleep in the old, small 6-person hut which we had to ourselves. Kinda dank and dusty, but quiet.

Sounds like my kind of climbing... too bad I'll be at Vantage.

would rather eat pie than grow up

South face of Ingalls

Something like that.

Everybody's got one. Now scientists think they know how that happened...
