AlpineK

Pine beetles are all over and on the loose.

I lived at this house just outside of Eldorado Canyon for about a year several years ago. I love it since I was so close to rad climbing. My landlord and another roommate lived in the house; they spent all of their free time watching MMA events.

Exactly.

It wasn't my birthday, but I got a cool present for christmas last winter. It looked like a miniture Stihl chainsaw, but when you play with it you find that it is a lighter where the flame comes out from the handle side.

Hell yes

Yesterday a guy from Oregon came up and checked out the Knuckleboom truck. He liked it and gave me a pile of cash for it. He's going to get a dolly for his scout rig and trailer it back to OR on the back end of the Knuckleboom this morning. The only thing I have left to do is make a report of sale to the DOL. The truck is going to spend its days picking up large rocks. There's still a chipper available for sale.

There are all kinds of letters and little kiddy toys in there. I would have read a bit, but it was wet enough I didn't want to muck them up. Thanks everyone it wasn't anywhere close to rad climbing, but it was a bid deal for me given where I was at last year at this time.

This trip was a FA for me at least. I've never been up Mailbox before. It's a lot more fun than Si, and I've been up that a hundred times.

Yes the doctor is a she, and there still no word on when she wants me back in. I am keeping tabs on other things though. Today I hiked up here then I ate a bunch of beef jerky and weighed myself. I'm at 203.5 lbs today which is down 16.5 lbs from when I started weighing myself. (screw the contest start) I don't remember exactly, but it seems like I'm getting pretty close to where I was before I hurt myself.

Trip: Mailbox Peak - The Trail Route Date: 8/21/2007 Trip Report: I know so what it's just a hike. This is the first alpine thing with a summit I've done in over a year, so it's a big deal to me. The weather was suppose to be better after noon on this day, but it kept raining long after that. On this route there seem to be multiple trails that all work for the route up. The sun never came out, but there were some huckleberries on the trail. Nobody else was out this day which was nice. The mailboxes at the summit were both stuffed with letters and odds and ends. I spent long enough on the summit to take a couple pictures then headed back down to my truck and then Ken's Truck Town where I bought a box of beef jerky. Time to summit: 3hrs. Total Time : 5hrs I wonder if that idiot from Portland with the dog ever set a record car to summit? Summit in the rain. Hurry up and take that picture so I can get the hell out of here. Gear Notes: Shoes are needed. Approach Notes: Approach via Ken's Truck Town, Middle Fork Road, and Lake Dorothy Road. Park at a large lot on the left side of the road. Then follow the gated road to the right and bypass the gate. Follow the road till you see an obvious trail going uphill to the left of the road.

Just to be clear Pink you would have to send money to the site admin. I'm just looking for some cash under the table from others.

Yes, but how much $ is that worth to you.

I'm willing to take bids on what to change Pink's title to. I'll consider all suggestions.* *Cash up front for the winning bid.

I'm a mod, but I had nothing to do with your current title. Just look at it as a sign that you made a big enough impression to rate fucking with.

Porter has helped me with my fucked up computer, and thanks to him it's behaving itself....for now; who knows what it'll do next week.

My advice is to never believe a user with 1 post to their user name. Feel free to prove me wrong...like that's going to happen.

Yeah, I want to climb that chimney.

They should make ski helmets out of it. It's the middle of August and all I can think about is skiing.

That looks like an excellent way to spend a day in the desert. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I'm in Vegas.

When I did the route we did a rap off the top and downclimbed the West Ridge. That went pretty smoothly.

Mt Torment.

Clearly the next picture posted here should be Don's favorite Via Ferrata picture. I mean why do a wimpy Via Ferrata like the photo above when you can go full on. My best approximation: Actually after the Tacoma Narrows that thing looks pretty fun.

Exactly. Maybe somebody should forward that story to some of the groups who are active above the Upper Town Wall.
