looks like a good time. i hope you blow up this picture and put it on your wall

thanks buddy, just imagine in a few years when the fire department doesn't own your soul you can be out there too!

Trip: Mt Daniel - Ski Date: 7/28/2012 Trip Report: For anyone wanting a conditions update to get out skiing...about 2 hours of walking to get to snow. We skied down around noon, snow was slightly past corn but not slush, fairly smooth higher up.

nice looking trip. dumb question perhaps, you went up the boston basin trail then came down cascade pass trail to make a loop back to your car?

Very cool. Did you guys find the perfect bivy boulder? Should have been just before you made it to the meadow, or snow in your case.

As Steve said, you will find adventure at Tieton! Depending on what level your climbing at, those routes that Joe P put up on goose egg look pretty sweet too! This time of year watch out for ticks and rattlesnakes.

Kev...the dihedral from ride the lightening is super obvious, so I always use that as a point of reference. If I remember correctly, the trail from the spring puts you near the base of dirty sanchez and ride the lightening. You sport or trad climbing or both? Moon rocks and royal columns have fun trad, haven't spent any time at wildcat wall but have been told good things. For sport for dream wall has some quality routes - don't think the newest ones are in the book but they are all right around the .10 range. If its melted out, check out the South Fork! Make sure to take pictures!

do you have tuesday free instead?

i can attest from my own observations today that things were moving fairly easily...a little too easily in places. be careful folks, especially with the predicted warming and sunshine

well sounds like most peoples' 20s tonights subject is way less cool - not. studying the best camera out there

Just a little food for thought from a non Seattle based person. I personally like not living in a city and enjoying a quieter life closer to the outdoors. With that said, I lived in Ellensburg for 6 years and on Snoqualmie Pass (Alpental) for another year. Ellensburg, similar to leavenworth and wenatchee, is east of the crest therefore having much more stable weather and a true four seasons. While Ellensburg isn't as close to the icicile/tumwater as leavenworth, we coould still get there in 50 minutes. 35 minutes to vantage, 60ish to tieton crags. The stuarts and snoqualmie pass are 50-70 minutes away, and bletwett is barely 30 minutes away for skiing. then you also have easy access up the teanaway and cle elum river roads, which provide more access to climbing (mountains and crags) and skiing. Snoqualmie pass is its own animal. I think its the highest elevation of year round residents in WA. Very small but close community. Skiing is some of the best in the state (i'm sure that'll fire people up) and lots of alpine climbing and trails to explore. With all that being said i'm moving to spokane this fall for grad school but look forward to the abundance of trails and crags in/near the city, good skiing in the nearby hills and the large canadadian and idahio mountains a short drive away. everything above is my opinion so enjoy and welcome to WA.

what part of the L5? spinous process? compression? one good thing about breaking the L5 is the spinal cord is turing into the cauda equina, and there are no major nerves that are responsible for innervating organs (those end at L2). there are of course the basic spinal nerves, which are important too

not sure if i've heard the term multiplexers, but there are plexuses, which are combinations of spinal nerves that serve various regions throughout the body. such as brachial plexus does the proximal limb, etc they are both way, so they serve as centers for both afferent and efferent systems, as are most nervous pathways

cns is the spinal cord there...then you can see the dorsal and ventral roots come together outside of the spinal cord and make the larger bulb there, then bifurcate into other pre and post ganglions

collection of neurons outside of the cns

i'm too busy spewing this actually

hello all
