True dat. Even if you don't know how to ski I recommend getting skis and skins. The approach is much more enjoyable on skis that snowshoes. If you cant ski then carry them back down or leave your skins on for the downhill.

You don't actually climb much do you Carl? I can't think of a single time when I've gotten to the trailhead and haven't had to distribute gear/pro or don my gorts. Hell, I don't wanna be seen wearing that shit outside of the alpine environment.

Yeah, right. When I was putting my stuff away the other day I watched one of the parking guys lambaste some dude for dropping off his crew at the parking lot entrance--a full 20 feet from the 'official' loading zone.

What about Hood, SH and Adams in a day?

This doesn't jibe with my experience in the region last summer. Things were pretty calm.

Have you looked at Dodge's book?

Its no longer available. I bought it.

I like McCain as well. He seems to have more integrity than any of the candidates thus far on either side.

They are bolted sport routes on limestone.

I don't understand why Kosovo keeps getting brought up either. The analogy between Kosovo and Iraq is inappropriate in this case. Clinton had nothing to gain politically (or financially) by lying about Monica or about Kosovo. The current administration has a lot to gain by developments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Distel may be the best climber on the board. It doesn't make his pictures any more interesting though.

Didn't appear to have any new bolts on it last summer when I did it. The beginning is pretty run out.

Sketch's new sig line: "In Search of Leutholds". If sketch actually climbed he'd know that Bill and I have even climbed together. Catbirdseat called a dolt quite a while ago. I like the word and its fitting.

I thought I was the only one who thought he just kept posting the same picture over and over.

Have her rub one out on your avatar image. Take video.

Do ya think that guy in the pic has any clue that he's been posted ad nauseum on this site?

Thats my point Will. Its not black & white. Just because someone is participating in a rally, parade or whatever doesn't automatically brand them as a terrorist.

Voting is active participation. Paying taxes is active participation. Nothing passive about it. Advocating terrorism is one thing; actively participating is quite another. Just ask Craig Rosbraugh or the FBI.

Do all the marchers at the terrorist rallys carry AK-47s? Your rant is weak. By logical extension of your argument we are all terrorists since our government has engaged in terrorist activities and by virtue of our very presence in this country we are supporting our government.

I march in support of organized labor. Does this make me a union member? Nope.

Spray has become the sport climbing of cc.com

This is the hells canyon between OR and ID. I climbed some of the single-pitch sport routes there years ago. Fun stuff and not crowded at the time. Very short approach.

Is that some new kind of party condiment from geese fed with Port wine?

Security of Iraq should be haned over to the UN and our troops returned home, the US should disavow any interest in Iraqui oil and the US should withdraw all its troops from the Middle East. They don't want to be influenced by the US or western culture? Thats fine by me. Every nation has the right to self-determination.
