If you guys do that I'll be impressed; just remember to get lots of photos.

I've never seen those videos, but I've seen presentations by those guys. They're kind of into excessive rigging; great for a demonstration, but when you're working on a bid job you rarely have time for that stuff. If you really want to be like me I can give you a free starter course in brush dragging, chipping, and raking. I might even buy you a latte if you show up a few days in a row.

The worst slide show I ever saw was one Jim Bridwell did. He's a great climber and the route he climbed was hard core, but he should have hired someone to do the presentation. I've never seen a slideshow by CB or Kitty. Perhaps you guys should leave CB alone and slag on jja for being a star struck name droppin sucka

The good skiing starts at the head of the valley. If it takes a couple of hours for you to ski up the flat part of the valley you may want to choose a shorter tour next time. Either that or make it a two day trip and camp at the head of the valley.

If I read the WSDOT Hwy20 web site correctly it looks like they've plowed past Washington pass on the east side.

All I have to say is Chacalnhide sounds a lot like Jeckyll and Hyde. She(?) does have a unique IP though.

We aren't interested in negativenessies.

She works with Mark G...that shows a lack of taste.

There was the same pecent of sausage on the Queen Bess trip. Some folks can tell some funny storries about you Dru.

Tele, I believe that someone shouldn't give a soldier orders or comment on military strategy without a more indepth understanding of the situations soldier(s) may face, however I think all American citizens have a responsibility to make political decisions that effect soldiers. In the case of Iraq our present administration grossly exagerated the case for weapons of mass distruction (there are none) and our administration also exagerated the case for forgein terrorists in Iraq. Like it or not those were the reasons put forward for war. Saddam was a bad person, but there are many bad leaders that fuck over their countries. I don't see the US doing anything about them. For example why the hell don't we take out Saudi Arabia. They're really fucked and that's where Osama and most of the 9/11 folks came from. We have a bad ass military but we still need to have support from the rest of the world. We had support for Gulf war 1, and nobody said much when we went into Afganistan, but we had no support for going into Iraq. Our current administration makes a decision and then finds the facts it likes to back up the decision they already made. As far as I'm concerned that is the worst way to make any kind of decision let alone a decision that costs American lives. Real Americans will vote losers like GW out of office this year.

If I was Luke I would try and edit what photos I posted more critically...however I'm not. You have bagged on folks for not climbing hard # grades Luke. I know you're bummed at being slammed because you're bouldering, but if you slam back too much you'll be just the same as the slammers. Have fun at the type of climbing that turns your crank the most.

I bet Dru's ears were burning last week. I'll try and post some photos soon.

Too bad the asskicking would be over in a heartbeat, Scott being a pencil necked geek and all. Who's moving this to spray?

Hey man if you're totally down with climbing Rainier over and over and doing crank then Enumclaw is da bomb

I really wish I could go to the Canturbury, but for me Pub Club will be northwest of Pemberton next week.

If loggers quit cutting down trees and creating ugly clearcuts then they wouldn't need big ugly polluting trucks. So do you wipe your butt with toilet paper or do you use a sponge.

I'm with you Bronco. Loggers need pickups or bigger trucks. If you want to slam suburban fucks then thats fine, but don't be dissin on real workers.

It kind of depends on the avy conditions when you get there. If things are stormy cold and the avy conditions are stable then ski in a bunch of places. If things are stable and you want some big N facing drops then ski Dome Glacier, 7 steps, the bowl below Sir Donald, or etc. If it's been warm for a wile then ski on south facing slopes. These are mostly behind the hotel...Ursa Major etc. Have fun!

Well get yourself some higher speed film.

Brian you're kind of clueless about this stuff. If you had all the time in the world then you shouldn't make mistakes like that, but in the real world people fuck up. In a work environment like the one in the picture you need to move fast and constantly make judgement calls based on you're experience. If you don't work quickly you'll loose your ass on a bid job, and working quickly eventually leads to fuck ups. My advice to you is stay in the office and leave real work to others. Also this is why businesses carry insurance.

Gee, with an argument like that, you've sure go ME convinced. Did you take your moron pill this morning, or is it PMS? Alisdair rules Cracked is a punk ass That's all I have to add.

I hate your photos so much I'm compelled to look at them...oh the horror.
