  1. Speaking of mailbox...

     

    On a snowy day in March I went up with a couple of friends, one of which was named Greg. Finding a letter addressed to "Greg" we decided it would be safe to open it. Inside was an insanely jealous letter to "Greg" from some psycho girl berating "Greg" for planning his life around Phil Fortier's adventures. It included a detailed schedule of the amount of time that Greg spends with Phil and suggests that "Greg" will never be financially solvent enough to keep up with Phil's successful career at Macroshaft. The letter included some quotes from Ecclesiastes and was generally very amusing.

     

    Hope you got rid of that one "Greg". If you want the letter let me know. I'll put it back in the mailbox addressed to "Greg-Phil Fortier's Bitch-boy" evils3d.gif

  2. Mammut's top of the food chain shoeller

     

    Large, but fits me narrow in the shoulders. $244.00 brand new, but I'll sell for 200.00. Worn once. The asshole that sold it to me considered it a special order and wouldn't send it back to the manufacturer or sell it in the store.

     

    Email or PM here. King, Snohomish County, Pierce county only unless you want to drive out to North Bend.

  3. Hope all you "spray babies" got your fucking asses handed to you at the Federal Building by hippy friendly SPD and Federal Police. Hope all you liberals burn in hell. Hope you try and confront me in person someday so I can choke you out using Daryl Gates favorite hold.

  4. I noticed Jens mentioned terrain anchoring which is one of the factors considered when evaluating a slope.

     

    I wanted to make a note I've observed this winter about that.

     

    On the poorly bonded initial crust I've seen several releases all the way to the ground despite terrain anchoring. Several on Rainier and one on the wide open talus slopes to the east of Kent Peak and Mclellan's Butte. The one I triggered was a wind packed layer of snow approximately 1 to 2 inches deep that collected speed and more snow for 500 feet. I'm not certain that it would have done any damage to anyone below, but it was really disconcerting to see such a widely dispersed small layer of snow cut loose like that when I could see rocks sticking out all over the place.

  5. Gumby trad climbers Ray Borbon and I knocked off more multi pitch feeding frenzies than that on several occassions at Smith Rock bolt boy.

     

    Our inspiration? Bachar and Long's Half Dome Day as told by John Long.

     

    Score one for the Washington Trad Klan.

  6. If you like a mellow self propelled ski up in that general area then check out Inspiration over at Silver Fir. They are grooming that one run and then allowing fresh snow to settle. Makes for good turns in a so-so year. Lisa, Shasta, Hana and I had a great time and never saw a soul.
