I did not know it was to keep the goods warm; always thought it was to accessoreyes.

He just backed off of the Eiger-too warm.

Well, at least that is good news about the integrity of the 1st light. Now I'm just going to worry about being blown away in another wind storm. Note to self-get better tie down cordage.

excuse me for sray-us-inter-ruptus; has anyone every been air born in a tent?

I think I need to adjust my goals; what's das toof? I had fun last w/the Brothers High Ho Silver and co.(names have been changed) at Icicle. Good times there. And now I know about the secret camp that I always drive by. And the Brothers always make up for my lack of character with good pseudo-drama/comedy/pseudo-epics.

G-spotter got back to me on this and I'm not quoting him but something like, to paraphrase with liberties; yo dude, have you checked the weather lately, or, maybe you need to smell the coffee first, or, wake up old delirious fatigued man, or, read between the lines bro. you're so neeeeeegative larry! you forgot ignorant too

Actually what I said was, thank you I'm not a skier. And he said, Ya but the point is that techical rock is crap right now and technical high ice is hidden by snow. It's good for skiing and hiking and that's it until we get some sunny weather. I was just trying to make fun of how dense I am sometimes. The yoke is on me.

Have you ever spent hours doing something you thought was a good job? Well, I hope this saves someone some time. I Silnet'ed the seams on my tent with painstaking attention to detail a couple years ago; the tent comes w/out the seams sealed or taped. Now the clinker: I did not have the tent set up/seams tensioned when I sealed it. So today I went outside to do something productive today(ya,sure) and pulled the tent fabric tight, not like a gorilla, but like firm at the seams. Yep, the goop pulled apart and behold, no goo on the stitching-hadn't even touched it. Recommendation: set up tent a few times, stress tent fabric several times.Then try to tension the stitching a little at the seam while your applying the goo to the stitching. And it actually takes very, very little goo in the right spot to do the job-as you all already know; 'cept me. If this is BS let me know.

At the moment I guess it's me thats 'out': rock/Mtn climbing/backpacking fatigue and family and social stuff has culminated in a melt down so I am not even a weak dude, let alone a tough guy, at the moment. But usually I am about mediocre, but ambitious. However, I shall(famous last words) rise again, like the Phoenix. Thank you, I mean it, for your perspective. It maybe my own arrogance but this seems to be a good thread up to now w/solid advice. I don't want to be sketchy or stupid or in over my head. I like fair weather/good conditions to keep things w/in my comfort zone. A Mt. w/about 600-800 ft of lower end moderate technical, 5.6 AI II-III, and around 3k' of elevation gain, 4 mile approach, would be a good starting point for me for a two day trip.

sounds like things are 'out' right now.

Mostly easier stuff to lead and moderate to follow-alpine or rock; unless i am feeling really hungry. put me on the c-list.

Any suggestions for whats in condition for moderate technical alpine climbs this time of year in Washington Cascades/sans big approaches if possible.

well, I had Madame Bovary to read; the poor thing just can't make up her mind who she wants to co-noodle with. Sleep? Not much cause too excited/amped.The last two nights I sorta slept and even had a non-sexual intriguing dream about 3 sisters that were checking me out and passing me around-I'm not joking. I did make a run back to the car to grab more fuel/food. The only thing I ended up with on the way out was too much coffee, too little sleep, and a big-old-hard-on. OK, maybe not that big; but it was hard. Really hard. And old. And thinking whats next. And laughing more than once at myself for stupid thoughts. Now i have to hide the dry roasted peanuts or I'm going to blow chips. And recover, hopefully, enough for the next thing.

I guess you can't judge a book, or owner, buy it's cover.

Trip: Three Sisters Wilderness - N. Sister, M. Sister Date: 8/31/2010 Trip Report: Date Aug 31 to Sept 7. Did N. Sister to summit snow patch and turned around because sketchy looking scree after snow patch. Did M. Sister twice. Reg route: had two small snow patches, one just above notch, and one near summit; collier glacier route w/second highest snow field to E. ridge to summit-sketchy, interesting, talus blocks to summit. Snow was perfect neve' before sun hit. Practice crampon technique. Short re-con to east side. Fatigue/weather coincided at nearly the same time for trip out. Gear Notes: crampons, one tool; should have brought two for second highest snow field?/glacier to play around on it more: probably around 40 degree angle; not sure, but would have felt way more secure. Approach Notes: Obsidian TH

this is getting funny. i did have a cheap-o yrs ago for the valley slum and i think it ended up costing me 25 cents a nite before it shredded. I hate to admit it but I was consumed by brand name shit 4 awhile when i worked in retail outdoor and made a few bad/impulse purchases. i should have researched what the big boys use-not that i will ever be on par/w them but 4 re-sale value. i am always amazed, I shouldn't be, at peoples remarks, such as, 'looks like you have good gear', with the implication in their voice that that's all it takes. Sometimes the product hype,(heres the bait) like Goretex is just like politics; all hype.

well now I will probably seal both sides now as the seams seemed to have stretched out some. yes the quiver of tents; I just took a Siltarp tarp 4 below t-line in the rain and the highlight 4 above t-line/sans rain. good combo. plus the Siltarp still works as a bivi sack if things get real ugly-haven't had to do it and hope i never will, and makes 4 a good pillow in a stuff sack.Yes, I do need a pillow 4 my good neck or it goes bad.TMI but i am considering having a panel w/ guy line put into the 1st light; many tents have reinforced areas w/guy points. what do I have to lose? my life if i can't depend on the tent. oh, the threads of this post, when will it end?
