http://www.komonews.com/news/37411004.html#idc-container Looks like there are going to be some more repercussions from the Grouse Mt deal. About how m any deaths are there yearly in the slackcountry? Is this year higher than normal, or is there more media attention?

Gold crampons may be a little heavy.

Why do you post that question every six months or so? Wait, why isn't this in spray, all TR's are spray?

Shameless plug, but stop in at Winter Fox in Sandy, first shop on the right, brown wood building, we're nice people and know some stuff. That said, the place Scheissami references, Mirror Lake trailhead currently has no parking, because ODOT, or whoever pushed snow into that area when clearing the roads. White river is pretty flat and you can go as far as you want. Trillium lake is groomed, but a lot of people still go there to snowshoes, and is a loop around the lake, with one steep hill down to the lake. Barlow pass is cool, and you can hike to either frog lake, or twin lake from there, or if you continue down 26 can access them from other trailheads.

Just saw that, thanks for posting it.

15 will get ya 20.

It's a good thing that evac and flight back to the UK are also powered by green energy, otherwise he might run up a bit of a carbon footprint. Uhoh.

Oh yeah, sweet pictures, way to climb stuff that looks pretty fawkin tricky.

Are those prehung cable draws next to The Glitch? What is the story behind those?

My virus scanner blocked that site, just a heads up for others, might want to check your computer.

Sweet thanks.

I'm looking at getting a pair of carbon fiber black prophets, and am wondering if I would still be able to swap in new picks? I would imagine so, but just want to be sure.

Anyone used or seen the OR Manifesto jacket, I just saw it in Mountain Gear's fall magazine. http://www.rei.com/product/771644/?cm_mmc=ps_google-_-Fall_Catalog_08-_-Apparel_Brand_Outdoor-Research-_-OR%20Manifesto&gclid=CIrrz9LZiZcCFSAUagode2iF_Q Says it has a balaclava hood, thumb holes, and a full length zipper. Wool and polyester mix.

I think we are batting 1.000 against pirates, or maybe someone could explain the last time Somali's took over a US Navy boat.

As far as the TR issue that I posted about, it has happened to me with Tvash and Ivan and others.

When I click on view trip reports directly from a username sometimes it leads me directly to the complete TR forum and I have to search by name rather than the link leading directly to the TRs posted by a username. Just a heads up, but I am using the old Firefox for browsing.

I'm interested in either, got snowshoes, axe and crampons. No car but would be willing to carpool with others.

She was at the concession speech. Honestly, who gives a fuck? You sound like all the people bitching about how Obama is not a US citizen. It's all forged paperwork, birth certificates and medical records.

I believe that was the clap.

Read about climate versus weather. To me it is hard to apply dramatic weather events to climate cooling/warming. Want something spooky read about ocean acidification.

A trick I have done while winter camping is to heat just a little water, and put it in a bowl that the canister can rest in, which seemed to make the fuel last a lot longer. This was just a regular canister stove, so I have no idea about turning the canister upside down.

Sure would be cool.
