There's some slushing action, not freezing action, going on. In Alpental valley. Don't know about the peaks.

Lucky, for you, you don't need to worry about this, unless you go to Europe.

Got some freshiez face shots last wknd!

Don't even *think* of going up there to look for ice yet.

It might be listed here:http://209.64.181.208/advscripts/mbs_rd2_rpt.aspif you know the road #. But where does the snow get deep? Probably pretty low down right now ... 2000ft?

Who gives a shit. Bonzo gets booted, Bonzo makes new alias, posts again.

I thought I heard on TV that one of the people died, but I can't be sure.

Snow not too good yet in the Cascades... but did anyone seen the footage of the Olympics filmed by King 5's helicopter on Friday? Wow... looked totally amazing - they were skimming along super-steep knife-edged corniced ridge lines.

Where was the cornice you tunneled through? Just practise, or was it part of a climb?

Maybe he could take a clue from pothead-Beckey, and make it a little smaller.

Thanks... I'll have to have another go at it though. Right now it looks too much like a big cigar (needed something dark to contrast with the white background).

How often does "featured member" change? An hour ago it was the "foo adamson" thing, and now its "Dan Petersen"??? 15 minutes of fame?

They should get the ability to log in as any member.

We were back in the area on Sunday for more skiing. The falls alongside the trail had noticeably more ice on them than even the day before. And higher up around the morainey-cliffy area where people camp, there were several spots of water ice - probably top-ropeable if you could find an anchor.

goddammit.. it worked when I posted it.

Testing my new sig....

There's been a discussion of this on cc.com before. Might want to search for Potterfield. He alludes to his partner using a new belay device he wasn't familiar with earlier in the story. But that's it. I think the general feeling is he doesn't want to explain what happened, because his partner probably screwed up, and he doesn't want to dis him publicly, 'cause it's his friend?

We left the seracs around 2pm, and went skiing nearby. 3 or 4 inches of powder on a sometimes icy base made for quick, nice skiing. It was a cold day! Nice. Lots of waterfalls starting to freeze up.

Hmm.... is a thread 10 pages max?

Then next, we can see how short we can make a page. ......................................iiiiiiii................................... ................................................................ .................................................................................................... ............................................................ ......................................iiiiiiii................................... ................................................................ .................................................................................................... ............................................................ ......................................iiiiiiii................................... ................................................................ .................................................................................................... ............................................................

Hmm...... I think you get to a new page based on the number of characters, not the vertical height of hte posts....Check the size of the scroll bars on page 10 versus the other pages.... it's already much higher --- but no page 11 yet! ....ok, back to work...
