aside from being your usual douchebag self DeChristo, do you have a point? Or are you taking over Peter Puget's douchey link habit?

Everyone wants to find a sleepy little valley: [img:center]http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/500/medium/shangrila.jpg[/img] With great tree skiing for storm days: [img:center]http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/500/medium/DDD0802.jpg[/img] Alpine fun (hey, these were the 3rd day after the storm) [img:center]http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/500/medium/DDD0835.jpg[/img] [img:center]http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/500/medium/DDD0838.jpg[/img] And nice scenery [img:center]http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/500/medium/DDD0829.jpg[/img]

Based on my experience's every corporation I've ever worked for was out to fuck everyone except management. Vendors, Employees, the state and most importantly their investors* *small caveat, the last one they loved one investor. He's facing numerous investment fraud lawsuits.

There's one rule for business. NEVER EVER PAY OR DO ANYTHING YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO EVEN IF IT'S AGAINST THE LAW. They learned it really well, we didn't. Amazingly, we've lived through previous "wars" on the investor class. It's the "peaces" that have fucked us in the ass.

Well JMO, although I think you're a breath of fresh air, plan on a bunch of nasty bitchy 5 year old imitators showing up with their little pissy foul mouths as if saying nasty things about you will win them an argument because they either have nothing else of substance, or or just too fucking stupid to be able to present it in a factual manner. Have a nice day:-) JMO: if you try hard enough, you'll get a couple of "cling-ons" - posters who follow you around and snipe at any opportunity. Unfortunately, no ammount of toilet paper seems to be adequate for separating them from you butt-hairs into the toilet. your ass is so distended you don't notice a cock up there?

It'll work - they are incredibly durable when well staked out. But remember you've got 12hr nights, and you'll be spending alot of them in that tent, especially when it gets rainy in the evening and you need to cook. Something with more interior room, and/or a bigger vestibule would be much more enjoyable

Remember, there are three branches to the U.S. Government, not just one. The causes for what we have now before us has as much to do with Congress as it does the Office of the President. So often people forget that. It's easier to blame an "administration" that is, in theory, led by one person (who is then the go-to goat), than to blame a large group of individuals with different agendas for their own constituencies and who too often toe the party line. I blame equally the Bush Administration and Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) for this mess we're in now. Only 2 branches control the purse, executive and legislative. For most of the past 8 years those were controlled by the Republican party with George W Bush as defacto head. Spin all you want.

Never seen any Bollywood have you Off White?

You are saying Staying Alive is more technical than Snow Sense, correct? Snow Sense is a waste for anyone of a lower 48 (excluding cascappalachia) literacy level.

I've stayed at the Belvedere up the road in Argentiere (good public transport to Chamonix, far quieter and less of a scene) http://www.gitelebelvedere.eu/ I think the management has changed at the Belvedere. If you need an airport transfer from Geneva http://www.alpybus.com Easter week is "fun"

I'm always curious what makes a "real" outdoor brand. The major factor seems to be it not having been "discovered"

sponger? man, all you need is a bucket of water and your hand! Yes where everybody wipes with water and their left hand. It's unclean to use your left hand for any other purpose. Speaking as a lefty I hate this idea. you ever seen the pants of the righties?

cc.com - the wipe bucket of the internet

sorry, I don't recognize that ASCII art/emoticon. two breasts with areolea? not to be confused with ()*()

I didn't notice much substantial changes from the 2st to the 2nd edition, but I'm not a microparser.

Staying alive in Avalanche Terrain

odd selection of destinations

Yankees talkin' bout the south are so quaint

Porter try's to RickRoll.... and pulls a kevbone

A splitboarding queer. quelle surprise. There's an article in an upcoming CAA on how all shovels break, FWIW

You mean, they are throwing them at people this year?

well, it does have a big picture of a pot leaf with a cross through it asking you not to smoke it. On the plus side it's defacto legal here.

OMG! IF I DONT HAVE THE RIGHT SHOVEL IM GOING TO DIE! DIE! DIE!
