Check out this backflip

That must be the birthday cake next to the avatar? How do I get me one of those?

I wanna ski, but looks like avy danger is going to be high in the BC and don't quite want to deal with the masses at the ski areas. What's on peeps' agendas?

You want calories? Check out the ALL YOU CAN EAT Indian Buffet at Pabla Indian Cuisine - 1516 2nd Ave, 1/2 block north of Pike. $7.99 for as much as you want. Yummy. Salumi , though plan on at least $10 and a bit of a walk/ride.

Is that the scene where Chuck got the crap kicked out of him by Bruce Lee? Chuck sucks big wet farts, that's fo sho!

Chuck Norris VS Mahatma Gandhi

Though their web presence is small, they do have a pretty crappy website.... CCH Website Kind of gives you the feeling these things are made in some guy's garage.

Neither can I. And when you hold Alt and 0,1,7,and 6, you get nothing. Is there some secret key sequence I'm missing? Do I have to yell "Yummy toaster struddle" while pressing the keys?

mo betta. looks like a fun climb.

Dude! Resize that shit! You can't possibly view that whole photo on a screen, at least not at a normal resolution.

wow! that's some talent. those guys could probably make a good living as stuntmen. it's amazing that dropping a few stories isn't a problem if you land correctly. those knees can't last for long though!

Somebody enter that shit in the photo contest! nice shot.

eat a d*ck?

Temperature inversion = cold down low, hot and melting up high

I know Doug Tompkins (guy who started North Face) has been buying up land there for a long time (mostly in northern Patagonia, just south of the lakes district - *amazing area*). He actually does own land at one point all the way from the Pacific to the Argentine border (and then some in Argentina as well). Chileans have been freaking out about him for a long time - there always seems to be some sort of conspiracy theory on him in the paper, talking about how is buying land for this or that (everything from new Jewish state to nuclear waste dump- some hidden agenda). They can't get it around their heads that this guy actually really thinks this area is worth protecting. It's got loads of virgin temperate rainforest - insanely lush and rugged and wet. I believe he's transferred the land (or is in the process of) into some sort of non-profit organization set up to protect it from logging, etc. Hopefully the Chileans will eventually come around and see that this move is better than logging the hell out of and destroying the area. That who you thinking of?

Dude, that pic of Richie Simmons this early in the morning was just a little too much. That is one increadibly creepy individual.

Yeah, that fight over all that land in southern Patagonia is ridiculous. The Argys and Chileans really take it really seriously down there though. When I was down in Ushuaia I wanted to go climbing in the Cordillera Darwin (Chilean mtns. just across the border, in the middle of nowhere), but ran into tons of red tape from the Chileans and the Argentines didn't even want to acknowledge that the range existed. So freakin' stupid. I belive they're still trying to figure out how to divide the Southern Patagonia Icecap. I spent about a year down there and saw a fair amount of the andes from Tierra del Fuego to Bolivia. The most spectacular is definetely everything from the S.Pat.Icecap south, though north from there to the Lake District is quite beautiful as well and has tons and tons of mountains (not just volcano slogs). I've got my eyes set on the Darwin Range someday, or maybe some stuff near the Icecap. There's so much unexplored stuff down there!

I just installed Google "Earth" on my machine. It's a very cool tool. It link allows you to jump around the globe and check out pretty much any place you like. It's all in 3-D and you can zoom in/out, change you angle of perspective so you can really see things like elevation differences, mountains, etc. I'm guessing it downloads data from google's severs as it needs it because that is way too much info to store on your computer. Anyway, it's cool to be able to go check out different areas of the earth and get an idea of the terrain and general geographic layout. Urban areas in general have better resolution, non-populated areas have a ways to go in terms of quality, but it's a start! Gotta love technology. Grand Canyon...

Here's one for the SCENIC category - Sunrise over Fitzroy - Argentine Patagonia

How long is this izzle going on for?

Ouch.

or this... Trogdor the Burninator

Damn.... that sucks. It was that Italian climbers's 14th 8000m peak, just as it was for Viesturs A WEEK AGO!!! I imagine these were members of the same Italian party he was climbing with last week? Yeah, no wonder these guys quit while they're ahead. Let the search for bigfoot begin.

Go Ed. I guess MSN struck some kind of deal to host all the weblogs and pics for this climb. It's all on a website called "The ULTIMATE Climb" Lots of text/pics/audio
