I'm not sure why the kids were all worked up about having to read his book though. Seems to me it would be a lot easier to write an essay about Touching the Void than Moby Dick or some shit like that. Maybe they're pissed because its harder to find critical essays about Simpsons work on the internet than Keats and Melville.

If nothing else, the British are definitly entertaining.

But thats a sweet wolf shirt. I hate how the hipsters commandeered the wolf shirt thing though.

Renton granite will be going off though.

I think Sky and the Hummels' vision and in turn their websites showed a lot of people what was possible in the Cascades ski-wise. A lot like the Skoogs, et al did a generation before minus the internet. It'll be interesting to see what the next generation comes up with.

Yeah but they are B-O-R-I-N-G

Hopefully the OP has enough info to write her paper now.

You need seminars too. Don't forget the seminars! And a new camera. That's the shittiest photo I've ever seen.

Only when he wears her underwear too.

SOP for Beckey and his contemporaries was just to lie down in the grass in their clothes and go to sleep. Of course, I'm sure that was in the summer and dry weather. I had friends that were on a logging crew and when they were out overnight they would just use the burrito roll technique, which involves lying on a plastic tarp and rolling up in it to stay dry. Really though, for the best warmth to weight ratio a lightweight sleeping bag and an added bivy sack in cold or wet conditions is your best bet. For the wieght of insulated Carhart overalls you could bring a -20 synthetic bag.

I don't think he / she knows the difference.

Apparently, Oyvind Hendriksen (sp?) a local b/c skier who posts a lot on TAY was the rescuer who's rope broke.

For Dan to say that, shit must have been real.

Are you kidding? Hang that antique shit on your wall and buy some gear made in this century.

Nice. Looks pretty legit.

If you go please tell all the pad people that bouldering zones aren't campgrounds / drum circle areas / bonfire party zones, etc. Back in the days of Larry the Tool I used to loath him, but at least he kept the order and the riff raff out.

Fixed for ya! Its ironic. The more you promote Ron Paul and cheesy guitar butt rock the more I hate both of them.

You're better off to just keep driving N on 97 and check out climbing around Omak.

John Candy. Definitly John Candy.

Nice work on a somewhat obscure gem. 4600 vf for two pitches is brutal even by Washington standards. I'm waiting until they build a tram before I go back up there.

Yeah Rob you better go diddle a few kids before you can complain that pedophiles and catholic priests are shitbags.

Looks like a great trip. I'm stoked foy you guys! Looks a little luxurious for Rolf though.

You're right I got 'em backwards. Nice job.

Looks like you guys climbed the North East Buttress Couloir on Colchuck, not the NBC.

In Europe, with a bike and public transport you can pretty much get anywhere. Another thing they've got better than us.
