Andrew--are you in Portland now?

The route is, in fact, Space. The climbers are Larry and Andrew. Pink is Andrew? I thought Andrew was in Colorado. Still have that van?

Perhaps that will be more enjoyable than Ivan singing at the belay. I doubt it though.

I have one complete Riva binding and the cable and throw for the other binding (plate broke). Free to whoever claims them first. These are, I believe, the Riva ONE version--yellow cables and side-throw on a spring. If you are not local (i.e. PDX or willing to come to PDX) you will have to pay for shipping ($5).

I'm actually surprised Sobo and I haven't met yet. Happy birthday Paul.

If baa was all I could date, like if I was a shut in nerd addicted to the Internet still living with my parents in Chillwack, maybe I'd date them too. Dru still lives with his parents?

Opdyke is more than 63 isn't he?

Another thing you can do is put your skins on for the downhill sections too. Not "fun" but it does keep things a bit more under control if you are a terrible skier and/or using mountaineering boots.

Me talk pretty one day.

I've met both JayB and DeChristo and I can tell you that they are most certainly NOT the same person.

Another Portlander had his rack--and wallet--stolen from his truck at the Bagdad Theatre. When he canceled his credit card the CSR told him his card had just been used to rent a hotel room downtown. He called the hotel and sure enough, he was registered. He called the cops who told him it was a low priority and they might take action--it was only when he said he was going to take action himself that the cops acted. he got most of his stuff back. Property crimes are pretty low on the cops priority scale. Be sure and check next adventure too. Good luck.

Whats your street shoe size?

If thats the topo I am thinking of, its been posted before. Crackman thats sick! Glad to hear you made it. Sounds like you went up the Coe onto the sunshine.

Not since gas prices skyrocketed. That was then, this is now. The auto makers milked that cow a little too long. From http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4023925: Trucks continued to dominate U.S. vehicle sales in 2006. Another year of auto sales is complete, and while total sales dropped just 2.6 percent, the mix of cars and trucks has changed. Full-size pickups continue to be the most popular vehicles with U.S. buyers; however, truck sales are down 6.7 percent compared to sales in 2005. Total sales show the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado as the top two sellers in the country, followed by the Dodge Ram in fourth, according to sales information published by Automotive News.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the most successful vehicles manufactured by US auto makers (i.e. SUVs) also the most fuel-inefficient?

I answered your PM.

Actually I think the only person still reading V7's mindless drivel IS KKK.

Definitely. You'll want to err on the size of being a bit too small rather than too large.

Weird Science. Hot chick, stupid stupid movie.

what is that in US sizes? I have an old 2-buckle pair of T-2s that are, if memory serves, a US 11. They have the lace-up liners. They are well used but still have life. I'd part with them cheap.

I take it you think the cost of transportation is not factored into the pricing of consumer goods.

How dare you insult ferret's like that!

I have some leather boots, size 12.5 if memory serves. They're just gathering dust so if anyone is interested make me an offer. They are in great shape.

I was up on the hogsback about a week ago as well. If you ski it, take rock skis. Lots of footprints going up to the bergschrund and lots coming right back down. As Iain noted, the old chute is the route of choice right now and even that requires trudging back onto scree before you get on the snow again. We need more a lot more coverage.

Now none of the avatar pictures appear for me. This happened the last time you guys "upgraded" the board.
