OK Scotty, folks can decide whether they want to listen to someone with no experience in the subject (you) or somebody who's actually been on the mountain and seen how things work.

I think one of the key facts PP forgets is that those logging companies spend a lot of money to lobby the politcians who control public lands. Simpson, and the rest are lobbying for cheap leases and little regulation for use of those lands. Therefore it's the private companies that are responsible for the shitty condition of public land they use.

Give me land lots of land with the starry sky above, don't fence me in... Congrats.

I'm confused. I thought Annabelle was climbing on Everest, but I guess she climbed something In New Orleans.

Actually the tall dry grass by the freeway is more environmentally correct. The grass grows, then drys, then a passing motorist throws out a cigarette but which starts a huge brush fire which cleanses the land in much the same way that a lightning strike would. The homeowner grass is not natural at all. Sure she puts pride and attention into her property, but it's the wrong kind of attention, and it causes a lot of nasty runoff that screws up a lot more property then her little chunk of lawn.

A better for Fairweather

...because he is "dissin'" other's attempts. In a way, it is a sort of socially enforced karma. If you had actually read my post you would know that I didn't slam her. I said she deserves the same respect a triathelete deserves. I also pointed out that she took advantage of what she had to get funding. My only comment that was at all negative was that it isn't much of a mountaineering accomplishment. The fact of the matter is that Sherpas set all the fixed lines on the South Col Route in some years they set fixed lines practically to the summit. If you jugged fixed lines all the way up El Cap that's not the same as setting the fixed lines. Your attitude sucks Scott.

So one would have to visit the Super Secret Moderator Forum to enjoy that lovely picture of Jennifer Connelly? Okay, here's a less questionable picture of her: Thank you for posting that picture and the one that's in the mod forum now

I own the company; thanks for asking.

How about at 8,000 ft after you puked up a stomach full of poptarts.

No really...later Scotty.

I only made it part way through the Illiad. If I were to do anything I would finish the book.

You're still posting ain't ya Scotty.

Interior Ranges North and South.

Oh I know it's not you, but you let him put it on your site.

Well it's hardly pro bush administration.

I've only briefly browsed your web site, but this quote jumps out at me.

You spend all day on the internet doing crap like this I'm impressed...no really I am

I really don't disrespect Annabelle at all. She used what she had to get what she wanted. I just figure that climbing the South Col route in 2004 is a lot like running a triathalon; impresive, but not to an extreme state.
