Trundling is a necessary survival skill on any shitty route you plan to reverse. What you don't remove will be waiting to remove you on the way down. Its also very, very satisfying, especially when digitally memorialized. The best things in life truly are free. We are very diligent in making our shittiest routes slightly less shitty for those who, inexplicably, choose to follow. We can't legally own a mini gun, so I ask: what choice do we have? We practice this skill often and get out a lot, so some of you may to wish to move to a safer state, such as Montana, which affords the additional benefit of looking the other way regarding certain cross species liaisons. It is true that, given this mountain's high popularity, particularly the gully in question, and full to bursting parking lot, we should both be severely punished...preferably while tied up.

Tweakers don't drive their SUVs into guard rails. They drive your SUV into guard rails.

Came down to Muir one time, there's a party super pissed off that somebody stole everything they had. They took off for home before we did. On the way down we noticed something yellow laying on its side way down on the Nisqually Gl, about 2000' up from Paradise. We ran into them again in the parking lot and delivered some good news and some bad news....

Oh, trust me Ivan, not killjoys at all LOL Expected more of the usual assclowns, KKubed was a given, but still a decent turn out. The trundling was particularly good on this mountain, but it didn't hold a roman candle to the fuel canisters we detonated in the old campfire the night before. They went up like mini IEDs. No film, though. You Mountie Trip Leaders out there'll have to wait till next time to opine on that.

the only weapon you need on Denali is your poo bucket

Jesus was most likely a really social party boy who's fan base deified him...a rock star of his time. He also probably knew a few crowd pleasing magic tricks. Or he was the son of God who rose from the dead. Yeah...that sounds way more likely.

Persuasion by 'fuck you'...a strategy not unknown to the tea baggers on this site, and one that will be every bit as effective. The GOP leadership despises the Palins of the world...far, far more than their Democratic 'opponents'...who are actually long term friends and colleagues for the most part. The tea baggers haven't yet figured out that the GOP considers them 'other'. They will in a few weeks. To me, they're just a bunch of dumbshit Kochsuckers.

That's better.

I 'guided' a friend's 20 year old son for 6 days in the Cascades in just such a manner and it was a great experience for both of us. I mulled it over for about 6 months and went on a shorter 'test' climb before finally agreeing to do it, and am really glad i did. Sure, it's an unusual post, but it certainly doesn't warrant the derisive responses regarding 'obituaries' and the like...from moderators no less. Christ.

I think you are reading it wrong. For far too long have representatives acted outside the interest of their constituents (Republicans and Democrats). I don't think that it matters if the candidate is further right or left, just not the incumbent. FWIW I think you'll see the GOP get behind these new candidates rather quickly since they have no choice. I also don't think it'll help Democrats unless they can turn the economy around between now and November. Past elections indicate that the GOP probably won't get behind these rogue candidates, nor will centrist GOP voters. As Repubs are chronically outnumbered by Dems, simple arithmetic would predict that tea baggers, despite all their bluster, will be as disappointed as their GOP rivals this November. Call it a conservative dot com bubble.

Sarah Palin on a Burger King diet. But she'll win in Biden's district without RNC support, no problem.

just a wee bit premature, considering that the trial hasn't even started.

No Republican votes were needed. Obama made the mistake of thinking the opposition would be needed. The opposition made the mistake of proving him wrong.

If i was only smart enough to play that stupid

what's really rich is that "pay to play" (user fees) has become generalized in direct response to tax cuts advocated and won by the so-called "small government" (cough, cough) crowd that has been in charge for the last 30+ years. Do try to be consistent. While giving props to the program at Denali the fact remains that, at its core, it is an unnecessary governmental endeavor. Calling for smaller government while decrying the cost/benefit ratio of a pay-to-play scheme that isn't needed to begin with is not inconsistent at all. Do we really need an expensive government enclave at 14,000 feet? Unless you'd prefer draggin a sled through the tiaga for 2 weeks to add McKinley to your brag list, and camp in a poo garden (with the occasional body added for ambience), or, not climb the mountain at all, yes the enclave is needed. BTW, its not at 14000. Not even close. Its also not that expensive an enclave, particularly considering the traffic that goes through it.

It is a nation of whiners. LOL you're way funnier than someone who actually comes up with this shit on purpose

after a few have already slipped under the wire already

These new fees are all occurring under a big-government spend-thrift administration, and they are complete BS. You're needed back in the Rocket Science forum

Soros gives money to promote what he believes is in the public good. The Kochs give money exclusively to directly serve their corporate interests, often (as in the case of their anti environmental regulation efforts) at the public's expense. For some, there's a clear and obvious distinction. For others, not so much.

YOU try opening those bear boxes without any training....
