+1 seriously, awesome job, you guys! very impressive, intimidating-looking route!

i think this article might give you good ideas: http://www.coldthistle.blogspot.com/2013/01/dear-lord-please-just-five-small-things.html GOOD LUCK.

indeed. condolences. http://mynorthwest.com/174/2174698/Ice-climber-falls-to-death-near-Coulee-City

nice. any pics of denman?

congrats, all! should make "top 5" of 2013!

yep. i've been climbing on G14s with petzl bails for two years. they fit my baturas and trango extremes much better. never had any problems.

wow, i love the variety! i didn't climb much this year, but most trips were quite memorable. death picnic (x2) ... a bunch of skiing around alpental (let's count that as 2 also, so i can keep with the "top 5" math) ... mother's day st helens ski while 7 months pregnant

looks super fun! thanks for posting!

looks great! the ribbon pitch looks cruxy!

very nice pictures, Loomis. thanks for the recent reports!

nice report! glad you weren't too bothered by the light sprinkling and a chilly night. you are a hardbaby! wanna go ice climbing sometime?

wow, great report, AWESOME shots! love this one: can't wait for the end to my non-climbing season!

whoa! pile on the superlatives! excellent report, dudes!

indeed - this was totally a great read. congrats on an awesome climb! sounds like you guys made good decisions and climbed in excellent style. well done!

awesome! i've been fantasizing about doing that too - way to get it!!

excellent - looks like really fun conditions! great photos, too! congrats on your success.

those are some seriously beautiful pictures! looks like an amazing trip!!

this is the issue i have with this junk. most dietary changes fail to produce long-term results not because they don't work, but rather because the participants impose stringent enough restrictions upon themselves to actually make these changes permanent. the whole mentality of a "diet" is that it's a short-term, crash course type of havoc you wreck on your body to fit into a dream outfit [before inevitably bouncing back to the original weight]. even the JAMA study is only 4 weeks - this only promotes the false impression that short-term weight loss is something to strive for.

you lucky sierra-ites!

Holy Crap! Congratulations old man! Welcome to the club, it's an exhausting but wonderful one! sorry for the off-topic comment, matt... ditto on the congrats, Sol! super cool!

very nice, detailed report! looks like you got a little bit of practice climbing that glacier ice after all! well done!

nice, way to brave the extra approach, too! looks like there aren't too many people out! i made this image from a gps track a few years ago, i think it shows nicely how much of the mountain you actually cover (so you guys did that in a day PLUS 6 more miles of the road you had to travel - nice work, no question)

daaaaang, ryan. you looked so chilled out friday night, wouldn't have guessed you had some awesome adventures in the works. inspired by gratuitous consumption of prosecco? great job!

seems like this primer does a good job at reviewing some casein and whey basics AND cites a number of articles from reputable peer-reviewed journals: http://www.nutritionexpress.com/showarticle.aspx?articleid=787 the primary literature likely has the numbers for actual mass of proteins that the study participants took in.

wow. looks phenomenal. good job, guys, and thanks for posting the report!!
