Myself a budddy of mine and Ivan were up on the Eliot on Sunday. Good time was had by all and the weather was not too bad. Crashing seracs were a bit disconcerting though. It was a bit warm.

You were really dying to kick that out weren't ya?

Yup--thats the new kind. Maybe thats what I'll do to make some home-made screamers out of tripple length runners: bunch them up then dip them in tool dip. Yeah, thats the ticket.

Things are shaping up that I may be there Sunday. I'll bring the extra tool with me.

Personally, I like to be able to inspect my gear from time to time. I'll take the elastic over the plastic any day.

Anyone available saturday?

Used to (army). Ditched that job, got a different one where the tests weren't so random--only if you had an accident (EMT). I never get tested now.

I was just wondering if service in the military had any correlation between political views. My hypothesis is no. But so far the sample size is pretty small. It was in no way meant as a slur at all.

Dammit--I thought they caught that guy who hid the camera in the honeybucket.

a quick google search under "trask" revealed:

Oh yeah, and trask. Sorry about that.

Good thing you threw in the towel. Whew--close one! So Greg, I asked you this before but didn't get a response, probably because so much else was going on in that excretional debates topic. Did you serve in the military?

Damn

Or a page top?

My bad--I missed the reference to "street crime" in your post. I just noticed you use that sort of phrase every once in a while and was wondering if you know something I don't. I had an interesting conversation with a Portland cop one time over beers. I was asking when it was ok to shoot an intruder in your home. She told me anytime--the key phrase to use afterwards is that you were "in imminent fear of bodily harm." As long as it passes the reasonableness test, of course. She also said to make sure you iced his ass so's he can't sue ya. Is it time for milk and cookies yet?

By the way, I'll trade my bibler bombshelter for an HK 94. PM if interested.

Now I feel the love! Anyone know where I can stock up on assualt rifles for this looming domestic invasion Greg keeps promising to protect us from?

That cams been there for at least two years. It was a piece of shit when I first tugged on it excitedly (freebie there for ya trask, grab that ball and run with it).

You use a tree as an anchor for the third pitch? I usually use those shiny bolt thingys pounded into the rock. The only tree I use for an anchor on SE corner is the top of the second pitch. Do you count the traverse at the top of the first pitch as a "pitch" itself? If this is the tree of which you speak I got a nut stuck in the same spot. My partner got it out no problemo. Weird how that works sometimes If that nut is on the SE corner its gone by now.

Its damn hear a full moon out there. What were you in such a rush for?

They are popular with the euros. Stood up pretty well from what I saw. Then again, I saw a father/son team with a coleman tent that was patched with duct tape.
