The topic concerning the accident at Vantage has been moved temporarily until the family can be notified, this has been requested by local friends. Thanks for your understanding. Jon

I'll do it for $100!

Those Chinese better not shoot at any more climbers or we'll have to drop some lazer guided horsecock on their ass!

We should do a milk challenge, I remember reading about them doing this at an Access Fund party in the valley a long time ago. You have to drink one gallon of whole milk in one hour and hold it down for another hour. If anybody manages to do it they get a prize.

I'd be pissed off too if I couldn't use Google any longer!

"Daddy?" "Yes sweety?" "Those people on the hill wearing tight neon clothes, are those gapers daddy?" "Yes honey, those are gapers."

Performance will match any advertised price, just bring in the printed out page or the magazine.

Hey somebodies birthday is on the 2nd! Who could it be?

Or you could get a 4.5 pound can for $25 at Performance Bike!

I hate error messages.

Shut up before the Doctor punches you square in the nose, you fossil-fuels tool! Hey DFA where is the power coming from that powers you computer that you spray on all day long? How did you get to work today? How do you get to Smith, do you ride your bike? In other words STFU!!!!!!!

I was actually talking about the disclaimer issue with someone the other night. Honestly I don't know much about what our risks are. If there are any lawyer types that would be willing to help us put together a statement that would be neat. Last time I read legalese when I was trying to patent something my brain just about melted. I think there is a recognizable difference between posting an opinion and purposefully posting bad advice. In the latter case either they should be called out or it should be brought to the moderators attention. Things like giving a route condition is really very subjective, versus telling some poor newbie all they should take to go do DA TOOF is a set of quickdraws and a gri gri which is just plain fucked up. What may obviously seem like a joke to you or others may not be interpreted that way by someone who doesn't know any better. So you are putting someone at risk so you can get a laugh? Should that tolerated by us but more importantly the sites core users? I would hope not. [ 09-24-2002, 03:34 PM: Message edited by: jon ]

PLEASE DON'T SUE US WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY ANYWAYS!

Ok calm down fellas. What other areas are there that are good for teaching groups besides Mountie Dome, there has to be others? Why do you guys insist on fighting for the same spot? I think it would be nice if there were no large groups on the Mountie dome on the weekend at all so us non group people can climb on it, give us a chance to use the place to teach newbies. I'm not trying to turn this into a mountie bashfest but I would like to see the Mountaineers and other organized groups start using other areas for a change, or do those trips on weekdays. It's not fair for any group to assume they have the whole area for the day because they are a large group and are teaching beginners and this is the best place to do it because it is close to the road etc. etc. etc.

Venga Roberto! Venga Venga Venga!

I have no recollection of that Senator.

Peter Whittaker is hosting the Rainier Mountainfest in Ashford, WA, including book and poster signing by notable local climbers, salmon feast, beer, and music. More info can be found at Rainiermountainfest.com.

"Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy. Action packed from the very first page. One of his best books I think present a truely scary reality in the post 9/11 world. "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Green. If you like science and got at least a B in physics class this is a fascinating book introducing you to the history of Newtonian physics and the work of Einstein to develop a unified theory. Talks about String theory and multiple dimensions and does it in a way that an average person can understand. Great nerd stuff.

I'll be there on Sunday.
