I'd say your definition is so strict that it changes the definition of the word. Most reasonable people would call many of those things epic.

WTF?

An adventure where danger is clear and present. Where the events overwhelm you and cause you to take action in order to prevent disaster.

We got a minor rope problem after the pendulum and weren't trying to go fast at all but we ascended in 7.5 hours and rappelled the route in probably 1.5 hours.

funny this thread is resurrected right when I got back from Yosemite. Here is the TR - blog

Trip: Yosemite - After Seven and Royal Arches Date: 5/1/2010 Trip Report: X post. The upload thingy wasn't working for photos. alpine climbing blog

I'm impressed.

Completely agree. The pro on damnation is way good. Aliens are a must IMO.

The closest camera I can think of is the Hero cam (the helmet cam thing). Problem with that is image quality. I hear it is pretty bad. But then again, you can strap it to your helmet which is awesome.

Not really a tech junkie- but I am a photography person. I like mine. Although it isn't the most resilient thing. If you want you can get the waterproof case for like 40 bucks that protects it. My screen cracked when I took it up a climb but it still works. For the money you can't beat it. And yes, the quality is good. There is a HD version available but I find the normal version to be good. The capacity is 120 minutes- plenty for anything short of a Denali trip.

Chrome. Fastest out there IMO.

My guess was also static, although I've not been there.

Spill the beans!

That's a catch-22 if I ever heard of one.

I think this sentence would make more sense like this. "This could mean not creating new trails, if possible."

lol it is above this topic right now.

No.I meant ft. I heard it from this guy coming down the pearly gates and as you can clearly see...he's a professional. Sorry to post this photo again but it gets funnier every time I look at it. I've found you can't always believe what you hear. Funny picture none the less. I've always heard of the Mt. Hood perpetual epics.

Proliance Surgeons is a good practice on the Eastside. I can give specifics if you want.

That last pic is surreal. I love the word deproach.

Thanks for the link Dane. I am spreading the word.

Solid

Those pictures make me sad inside.

"As far as carrying O2...yeah I'd say that's a good idea considering I've heard that you can get AMS at anything above 3000 ft." righhhhht...try meters.

Second picture...
