Yeah I read that article on the alpinist's site a few days ago. With all the FA TR's I've read that used Scurlock photos for routefinding beta, a big for Mr. Scurlock is in order!

Happy B-Day Bro!

Yeah, good times! We pretty much walked right into that one eh, right where everyone said they'd be.

That pic of Blake on the "stack of teetering blocks" made my morning Thanks for the great TR!

For what its worth I absolutely love my princeton tec, never had another brand but the one I have has always performed very well for me. It is light enough I never really notice its there and batteries seem to last forever.

happy B-day CC.com!!! I love this site, it never fails to get me stoked to go climbing or cheers me up with some pretty hilarious spray! Thanks to those who keep this side-show running!!! -Josh

I'd like to get out and climb wednesday as the weather appears to be holding. I'd gladly drive as far, carry as much gear, buy as much beer as would be necessary to have you do all the leading. Index? Exits? Leavenworth? I can follow 5.8/9 and am a safe belay and would love an opportunity to take the sharp end. I've got classes until 11am so I could be ready to go by 11:05. Please hit me up and we can discuss options. -Josh

I definitely think were on the same page. I've done many alpine scrambles (Mt. Adams, Sahale Peak, Mt. Buckner, Dragontail Peak etc.) and have recently broken into technical climbing. I just lack a solid group of partners who also desire to step their game up. I have the necessary winter gear, knowledge, and a strong ambition to climb just about anything in the winter, rock, ice, big mountain, ski mountaineering routes etc. I've got no issues with alpine bivvies on high icy ledges or single push marathons. I'm in great shape and hope we can get together!! -Josh

I'm pretty sure Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 before the Supreme Court turned it over, so the same argument may be made for GW's win in that election too.

"The John McCain Experience" says it all. [video:youtube]

I'm pretty sure Beckey and company climbed in converse all-stars or something similar right? They made it up stuff I never could in 1940's tennis shoes.

Riiight that stuff only happens in spray

If I'm not mistaken I think they are Doggles http://www.doggles.com/

Belay slave for hire! I'd like to get out and climb wednesday or thursday although the weather is supposed to turn wednesday night. I'd gladly drive as far, carry as much gear, buy as much beer as would be necessary to have you do all the leading. Index? Exits? Moderate c2c alpine? I can follow 5.8/9 and am a safe belay. Hit me up and we can discuss options. I can leave tuesday afternoon for alpine. I start classes a week from monday and really want to get out for my last few days of summer.

I got my start skiing with my family at timberline when I was about eight. It wasn't a bad place to learn and the lodge there was especially cool to me as a kid. I took a few lessons at timberline (mainly to occupy me and my sister while our parents skied) but didn't really get the hang of it from the instructors as I was a little nervous. My folks, avid skiers, realized we we're not having the best time on the slopes took me out and showed me how it was done and it was their patient instruction taught me the most. While timberline was great I never really fell in love with skiing until we finally went to meadows. I'll say meadows buttercup beats timberlines bunny slope any day I can't count how many laps I did on that one... hah good times. The beginner/intermediate terrain is great at meadows as well as the snow, well worth the extra drive imho!
