What's wrong with Andy?

Anna, I can't help but wonder if you'd give up flying as easily as climbing if you have close call?

Here's a view of the north side. From the north, you can drive to "basecamp" although the real basecamp, "advanced base camp," involves a hike of something like 20 miles. DROOL, DROOL.

A friend of mine had one of those 3 man slingshots, so we'd cut potatoes in half have 2 people hold it and 2 people firing them accross a street into a townhouse complex. By the time the people could get out of their gated complex we were gone! we could get a good sized bowl off in a few minuits. Same friend and I placed 2by4s accross highway just over the crest of a hill. KA KLUNK KA KLUNK! [ 10-30-2002, 11:29 PM: Message edited by: salbrecher ]

I rapped off this bolt once...and it looked a little rusty, good thing their were 2

Took a basketball down a manhole and kicked it into the pipe. Water filled up manhole. Friends mom called sewer company to come fix sewer. houses drains/toilets on street back up. Friends mom made us appologize to sewer men. Couldn't stop laughing and peed my pants while trying to appologize, I still find it funny. My neighbors didn't. Same friend and I hit golfballs onto major intersection from his backyard over the comercial buisness behind his house for a few months period(he and his parents would go to golfcourses and pick up golfballs from forests, we'd hit the bad balls). ESSO guy caught us one day golfclubs in hand and made us appologize to the manager. Lucky for us he was youngish and didn't seem to care. He just told us to stop hitting them at his gastation. Hell, I'm only 18 I can STILL do this stuff. Bring on the good ideas! [ 10-29-2002, 12:37 AM: Message edited by: salbrecher ]

When I was 10 I hacksawed my dads rifle bullets appart to get the gun powder I didn't think about potential sparks . I also lit a cocktail of flamable matierial and fluids in a container with some of the bullets in it to hear them explode. My friend and I made pipe bombs with pounded down screecheroo fireworks stuffed into a tite fitting metal pipe. The sound could be heard umpteen blocks away. You can do the same thing but just ducttape the pounded screecheroo, they're soooooo loud!

what day are you going on FS?

Jim Sinclair the Vulcan's Thumb is in the Fairley guide described as the only peak unclimbed due to difficulty (or something like that). An ascent of the similarily unclimbed Teacup Handle on the Table might make a good warmup. Good luck Word has it you can climb them snow gullies most of the way up except for a little scramble at the top.

Tried to get up the north peak of black tusk but got turned back/spooked at the main peak at the thought of climbing rime ice . and it was fucking cold . [ 10-27-2002, 08:08 PM: Message edited by: salbrecher ]

What the name of the spanish rap? I want it to!

Sad news but... "Good physical health"? I thought he had a heart attack.

Curvy, lots of lights and small towns on the small roads, traffic. I know how to estimate driving time smartass, I want a realistic picture of how long it will take. So why don't you test your theory coming back to seattle from levanworth on a sunday afternoon, then we'll see how accurate you are. Well if you know it's going to be busy comming back from 11worth on a Sunday afternoon you can factor that into your ET .
