It took 4 days for the approach or for the total trip?

There is a vietnamese language radio station in Portland? You guys are bigots who must not have traveled outside of the US. Those espanol speakers you whine about are often-times picking your food at sub-standard wages living in sub-standard conditions. If all you have to do is push one little extra button on an ATM or credit card reader you are priviliged indeed. Try going to Poland or Slovakia or somewhere where few people speak english and you might learn a bit of tolerance. Whiners.

Show up at a pdx-area pub club and meet some of the locals. In a haze of Terminal Gravity-brand rocket fuel you may roofie some idiot into beating Howitts claimed ascent time on Rainier.

Last two things a redneck says: "Hold my beer" and "Watch this!"

Why do Scots wear Kilts? Sheep can hear zippers.

Walking about as fast as old people fucking? Dude, you need to get a TV or stop peeking in Trasks windows.

Nice pics! How was the approach?

Nice job guys!

No one, and I repeat no one, can beat Trasks inventive style. Take no prisoners.

I take it that's some disgusting porn technique or something, right? Yeah right. Don't play the innocent bystander with us. I'm sure you know fine well what the 2nd fiddle is or whatever you pervy festishists call it. Go on - feign disgust at my post Actually Iain hit the nail on the head. Necro is a renowned "skin flutist". Trask on the other hand prefers the company of the hermaphrodites.

Fuck off. Smoking pot rules! If you enjoy lowering your metal capacities..... Am I the only one who noticed the irony in the fact that Sphincter boy talks about pot lowering the "metal" capacities? Dude, put down the pipe and step away from the keyboard. Hello? Mtngoat--great addition to the discussion. I may not always agree with your posts (in this case I do) but I appreciate your contribution to the board.

Skiing out had to have cut our descent time in half I figure--we left the summit at 10:20, got back at the lunch counter and packed up our stuff and were shredding back to the car. It was a lot cooler than trying to hump it out in that heat--and I am a crappy skier. It sucked walking the road in our boots but I figure we cut at least an hour or two off our time by skiing back. We must have just missed you. We had crashed in my megamid. When it got windy I wished I had staked it out better. It didn't collapse or anything but it was so loose it was flapping most of the night. We watched the fat guys buddy shoveling dirt under his tires to get him unstuck.

You talked to a friend of mine at the lunchcounter. Sorry I missed you but I was way too comfy sipping wine and BS'ing with friends. That wind made it hard to get much sleep didnt it? We summited at 10:20 and were back at the car by 1:30. We watched that idiot tow truck driver tring to get his truck unstuck. What an idiot he was.

Fishing was free. Climbing Adams still required the 15 clams. Quite a crowd on the south side this weekend but the ski down was worth all the work. Road is open and in great shape to Morrison Creek. Probably wont be too long before you can drive a lot farther.

A friend of mine and a friend of Wayne's did it in August. The pics look awful. THe story is as Tex put it--lots of trundling to be had. Enjoy!

Climb Axe has a copy of the topo.

Did I leave that stuff there?

It was a joke.

How did I get home?

They use the snowcat in the summer to shuttle skiers to the top of the palmer too. I think you're making much ado about nothing. Not everyone who rides the snowcat is a newbie nor are they wussing out--their styling out. If you haven't hiked that slog up the lift at least ten times then you really don't know what the hell you're talking about. Its not climbing--its barely hiking. You're walking up through a groomed ski area and oftentimes their running the groomers as you trudge it so its hardly a "mountaineering" experience anyway. Shit--I think they need to style one of those snowcats out with a wetbar, some laval lamps, a bubbler, some velvet pillows and the swiss bikini mountaineering team. It is a snow"cat" right? Shaggadelic. I agree with Ursa though--it'd be nice if they ran the lift at night.

Dead Moon rocks! Supreme Beings of Leisure is seeing heavy airtime. Rhett Miller of the Old 97's has a killer solo album that I am wearing out. Ella Fitzgerald. Morphine. Time for class.

Excellent--I'll be arriving about the time the keg is tapped. I dont think it will be needing iced since there will be at least 5 climbers there drinking. I'll bring some ipecac in case the bran doesn't work Ivan. Maybe we can have vomit launching contests.
