They did improve. The first few albums with Sid are pretty wierd. My favorite Floyd is: Obscured By Clouds, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here. I think I watched the movie of The Wall one too many times. They might be good, or they might be like The Who...they kept reuniting until they turned into a joke.

Ok I'll be nice. Before you climb a route on Stawamus Chief you probably want to hang out at Smoke bluffs or some of the smaller craggs. What I do know about climbing in Minnesota is there isn't much in the way of crack climbing or multi pitch climbing. You'll need to work on both of those.

From Minnesota your best bet to summiting Mt. Seattle would be the SeaTac route. Though if you have time you may like the scenic I-90 line.

Or did you mean me???

Start in Mt. Seattle and do the I-5 traverse through Mt Everett, Mount Vernon, and Mt Bellingham. The crux move comes when crossing the scarry border pitch....

There is a town of Squamish but no Mt.Squamish.

Jon said he doesn't like you and wishes he could get rid of you.

Chaps needs a basic lesson in swearing. Repeat this until it sounds natural Chaps. Fuck you you fucking fuck. once you've mastered this we'll move on to some more advanced stuff involving sexual innuendo.

I think the problem is I don't hate women, people of color, or liberals, but I am willing to play games once I figure out the rules. I think those guys are poor sports and don't want to play by the rules they espouse. Go figure.

I was just trying to contribute to all the popular topics. Nobody over there wanted to talk about climbing, but they did want to talk shit. I figured when in Rome... Do you really not understand my parable Mr E? Just remember it's not about the story it's about what you bring to the story.

Hey Dipshit (I bet they don't use that word on your board) I went climbing in Yosemite with someone from Minnesota recently. I don't have a problem with folks from flatter states, but I do have a problem with delusional folks. First off climbing hard in the gym means nothing. You might be more fit for rock climbing, but gym climbing and rock climbing are apples and oranges. Secondly your obsession with Rainier shows that you have a sheep like brain (stay away from CPB ) Rainier is the high point in the state, but anyone who climbs for a while around here usually finds that many of the shorter peaks offer better technical challenges. Unless you get far off the beaten track climbing Rainier is little more than following a trail in the snow, staying out of crevases, and summiting when the weather is stable. And lastly if you come out here and wear shorts over polypro everybody will be laughing at you. Just a hint: a really good place to go if you come out here on vacation is Washington pass. Sure you wont get the golly gee wiz look from folks when you go home, but you will have done some real climbing.

Just a thought, but you might want to change the title of this thread. I was expecting something else.

Climbing tomorrow; graduation bbq tonight.

We all know you know everything Dru, so maybe you don't need to say anything about skiing.

Softshell pants work pretty darn good for skiing. I have a pullover top too, but its more of a windshirt than anything else. (no really )

I did that, and now I can read everything but Trask's Blog. I still can't believe I got banned for writing a story about 3 dogs and a badger. I guess when they make personal attacks it's, "fair and balanced," but if I write something in response to their bs it's unfair and rude.

Well the article certainly doesn't make me want to sign up for the special subscription deal. It's sad; there actually used to be some good stuff in those mags but no more.

Yes, but I might have to rework my writing style. It wouldn't do to use an Ascentionist style in Minnesota.

I guess I got banned from the whole board. I can't even lurk. (or I haven't figured out how to log out so I can lurk)

I got 2 PM's this morning that I'll never be able to read. Maybe they were from Mike. I guess I did get banned Those guys can dish it out, but they can't take it.

Huh? I get this message every time I try and go over there I thought I could lurk even if banned... Oh well it is pretty funny if I got banned from a site that is suppose to welcome all points of view.

Are you really supprised he didn't get it.

Mt Rainier is a big piece of shit. Guess again flatlander.
