I think the camera depends purely on what you want to get out of your shots. If you just want regular prints to remember the occasion or show friends go get a $100 point and shoot and print film. They are lightweight and get the job done. If you want to blow your shots up to put up around your place or to give as gifts, then get an SLR, shoot with a good slide film, and bring a tripod. The newer SLRs can be fully manual or fully automatic so they really aren't a pain to shoot. The drawback is weight and $. If you want a light SLR setup here is my recommendation. A used Nikon N70 or a new N65, with a Nikon 28-80 G lens. The later will run you about $300 new and weighs a scant 21 ounces (light for an SLR setup). There is a rebate going on now until the end of the year on this setup. This is a great camera, even pros use this exact setup for lightweight trips. The Nikon light meter is far superior to anything point and shoot, you exposures will be good all the time. Normally you have to compensate 2 stops for snow but not with the Nikon's. I've not had one snow shot come out dark, and this is on slide film. For night stuff put it on the tripod, set the timer and let it do it's thing, the shots will come out great. If you want to get into photography you will quickly find yourself very limited with a point and shoot. Need more info fire me a PM.

Hey everybody- Over the holiday I'm going to spend some time and give the website a much needed overhaul. What I need from ya'll is more pictures. I know I've been pretty bad at times getting these up on the front page but that will change, promise. I don't have any skiing pictures from anyone yet except one so some more would be great. Ice, rock, alpine, I can use them all. I'll be creating a gallery for all those that are submitted. So send them damn pictures in, and send em here pictures@cascadeclimbers.com . Try to keep them under 200k because we typically compress them down to under 20k, if not no big. Make sure you include picture credits and caption. If can also put your name or something in the file names so they are easier to keep track of. Thanks! Juanton

Dave link is actually here. There will be a pretty major site update over the holiday including a better links page with weather and the whole nine. [ 12-18-2001: Message edited by: jon ]

Does anyone have these? Looks like a killer glove. Impressions? Sanku so much!

Drul you forgot Terrence and Philip.

Jim Nelson gave me a bottle of that ReviveX last year to try out and it works incredibly well as long as there aren't too many loose microfibers on the surface of the jacket. Too many loose fibers changes the water tension of the water and allows it to soak up easier. I've heard that you can iron the fibers to get rid of them without ruining the composite.

Give Mike Palmer a call at Cascade Crags about their classes. So what gear does he have already?

yeah holmz get funkay now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thread closed at 500 a cc.com record. We are all now stupider for reading that crap.

My roommate does yoga and likes it, well he like the girls there. A brutal ab routine is to do write the alphabet with your legs while laying on your back. You can also hang from a pullup bar and do different types of leg raises. Or you could get one of those ab stimulator electorode deals you see on TV and plug the shit into 240V socket and go nutz.

Holy crap the snow was good at Snoqualmie Pass last night. Seriously some of the dryist snow I've ever skied up there. There was about 6 in of tracked out pow and it was summit west but I DGF cause it was free. Get your ass up there this week!!!

Have fun suckas I'm goin to ski freshiez!

You'll have it by the end of the day.

It's not like how the North Face got bought up by Vanity Fair, putting them in the same family as Wrangler Jeans and Eastpak. Bitch bitch moan moan. Jon, if Wal-Mart offered you $10,000 bucks for this site you'd be laughing all the way to Cabo... I'm not upset about the fact that an actually decent company bought them, it's just the trend where the big guys buy companies that were perfectly fine on their own. I'd like to know what the reasons where for selling, hopefully not greed. Are they going to move manufacturing somewhere else now? Is that going to change the quality of their products?

I hate corporate america!

Sean, I was able to get into the chat room last night using OS 10.1 and IE 5.1. PM me with the errors that you are getting and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Cpt. should open up the Caveman School of Hostility, football coaches from all over the country could come and learn how to fire the team up and get all angry and shit like the Raiders coach. You could be rich and work your own schedule!

If you don't like it don't fucking buy it, don't insult these guys considering all the hard work they are putting into it. Chances are they are hardly profiting off of it.

My TiBook will be my first mac since my old 5300 which I bought in college. I've been stuck in PC land for too long. Here is what I found quote: All you need is a Java enabled browser like Netscape4.5x or Internet Explorer 4.0 or above( You will need IE4.5 on Mac platform). from http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/intro.html I've got a mac here at work on one of my instruments, I'll check it out tomorrow.

NEWS ALERT: A snow advisory has been issued for Cascades and Olympics tonight. 6 to 11 inches expected.

Hey this is/was a good discussion. I've got two things to suggest. Have those of you doing lat pulls tried mixing in negatives. I usually do these really slowely and get a good burn going. I'll do about 10-15 reps and then try to do about 2-3 negatives at the end of each set. The other thing which is more of a general lifting statement involves the speed in which you do your reps. I read an article about how researchers took two college football teams and had them do identical lifting routines except one of the teams focused on doing their reps with a high level of explosiveness, accelerating through the repetition. I guess this group had significantly greater improvements not only in strength but in running speed. Not really surprising but something to think about and maybe try. Courteney did you hear about that study?
