I have just reserved the Bridge Creek Group site for Friday Oct 1st through Sunday Oct 3rd We'll provide more details as things progress (we're making it up as we go along) Right now expect a fun group get together. Camping, climbing, beer, campfire. One thing that's come up is the idea of a service project. It seems like a good idea, but the last 3 years the service project has never really worked out that well. If somebody is enthusiastic about the idea of a service project and wants to volunteer to put in some time to make it happen then contact either jon or me.

People get busted for poaching all the time in CO. If I remember right it's a big fine from the sheriff. I'm also sure that patrolers will also be in on messing with folks. I'm sure most of the time you could sneak out without getting busted, but it's a headach I don't want to have to deal with.

There you have the contest rules. It sounds at least somewhat responsible, but I would probably change my plans if I was going to climb the NA wall. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing I would be into, but if it pisses off those republicans who wish they had a climbers4bush organization I'm all for that.

Didn't you read? CM already commited to hiring a snow ranger to look for punks breakin the law. As to the spot...whatever... you can see anyone leaving towards Crystal Lakes from the King, and a good skier could probably catch up with anyone. But I'm sure there are other good spots to lurk.

shit-a-cow-ski

4 Kerry

I believe you could enforce the rule, or at least make it a pain in the ass to avoid the ranger and patrolers. All you'd need is a guy on AT gear hanging out on top of the King and one or two other places.

A day late and a dollar short click

Jim Donnini was giving the slideshow that benifited climbers4kerry; and now Jim McCarthy wants to kick his ass.

Oh my god the nodder man it's hard to get rid of the steaksause

I like Kerry, but I don't climb for him. Jim Donnini is cool too.

I thought I was the one that outed Pope, not that it was any big shock. Maybe it was PP I don't know. Anyway please please don't out me Poop. My employer reads this site, and he might have not like what I've been saying.

Bend over GW here we come

I'll never drive through downtown Van again.

From the area I've skied Three Way peak a number of times. Also with a season pass it's quite reasonable cost wise to head into Crystal Lakes basin for the day. I suppose all of that will get you in trouble with the snow ranger

Up GW's nose dude.

I don't have too much issue with CM putting in a tram, and if they have to put in a new lift I guess the area they've selected is the least objectionable to me. The only thing that really bugs me is trying to close the backcountry to lift access skiing. I've always loved that feature of Crystal, and I don't look forward to trying to dodge some nazi patrol guy while trying to get into the backcountry.

I figure that being a republican is kind of like being autistic. Some republicans can do some funny tricks that impress a lot of people, but none of them can be cured of their disease. I like to put effort into TRs, but I couldn't be bothered to try and change somebodys poorly designed brain.

Actually Faiweather the style you just replied in is going to get most folks to hit the scroll button. If you want people to read what you say in a political thread or some other argument try and keep it to 2 paragraphs at a maximum.

I'd like to see Bush and Cheney gang raped by the Borax 20 Mule team.

Foreign monitors I don't think having some foreigners watch the election and then write a report is anything to get worked up over.

I think anyone who talks tough about using the military but had to get their dad to pull strings so they could get into the Texas National Gaurd durring a major war is a big ol wimp.

If you were to come up the Dais couloir you would avoid the seracs because you would be on the ridge. The upper Angel glacier is pretty straightforward. Colin could give you some better advice.

Nice We heard you were in the area and saw your tracks headed towards the N-NW ridge on Combatant.
