Welcome to CC.com dipshit. The above trip report is fine and people not interested in the rest of the bs will skip all the replies. You are suck. I will bitch slap you at Pub Club.

I was going to suggest Grady's as a Pub Club location, however I hear the Montlake Bridge is going to be closed on Tuesday eve. Last week we went to the D&H. Maybe this week we could go to the Owl and Thistle or somewhere north of the ship canal. Ideas............. PS Dave S is a slacker for not starting this.

Alpinhead Tom, This is where we started fighting, so I ain't going anywhere. While you were busy spraying about trip reports and how dangerous the avy conditions were yesterday I was out ripping up the freshiezz in the bc yesterday. Basicly Tom I could quit climbing right now and you would have a hard time catching up with me. My basic point isn't really that much different than yours. I've been around this site long enough to read a lot of stuff. I say if you are a good writer and willing to put time into writing. a long trip report may be ok, however most long trip reports I've read lack time spent editing and rewriting. I really like ChucK's interpretation of your post above.

Whatever the charges are I'm not guilty.

If long trip reports were readable then they might be good, but a lot of the long ones on this site are totally unreadable. A short trip report shows respect for the reader. I think a lot, but not all, of the better climbers on this site try and keep it short because they know if someone is looking for beta then the bs is in the way.

I figure you have to build up good Karma to climb long and or interesting routes. If you have a great trip and do a bunch of stuff you want to then you've got to be prepaired for those trips that end up being total bullshit.

You know who you are! You can get 24 Red Bull drinks for $36 at the Cash and Carry store on 14th NW in Ballard.

If you fools had been around long enough skiing in the Cascades you would have met Walt Little. Walt would have told you about his favorite club, the RBCSA. That is the Retroactive Birth Control Society of America . The club believes that there are too many people on the earth and therefore it is our obligation to engage in all manors of dangerous activities.

Alpin Tom, you are missing the point. The above trip report was simple and easy to read. That means that 1 or 2 years down the road this trip report will be usefull information for other folks who might want to climb the NY gully. A long trip report that sounds like a story is great, but the author should go through 3 or 4 drafts before they post.

I've ditched my buddy on deep powder days more than once. There are no friends on a powder day. All the same, it is a bummer to hear about the accident.

I've never done that, but I understand that most dry tooling takes place on cliffs that are too chossy for them to be good rock climbing. I hear dry tooling thrashes rock.

Allison is highly accident prone.

Werd up! Why aren't we in Freshiez

Yeah I go up to BC all the time and it sucks.

So that's helps you how? Either cut your way out or be on skis that are easy to get out of.

This from the guy with a moving shotgun avatar pointed straight out of my computer screen.

Hey Veggy why don't you spend the weekend highpointing steep open slopes.

I would look for some tree skiing east of the crest. Be carefull! Avy conditions could fuck you up this weekend.

Shit man if I had one of those yesterday the radar would have gone off about 1,000 times.

Yesterday at Crystal was insane!! Deep, light powder all day. Snorkel Alert! Snorkel Alert! Snorkel Alert! Snorkel Alert! Snorkel Alert!

Welcome to the club!

Yeah the skiing here sucks. Stay away!

Sorry for posting. I totally agree.

LMAO, DFA! Don't forge the part about how hikers always get their proper permits, and climbers are too good for that! Climbing is exciting, climbers like adventure; like getting in a fight with the man cause you don't have a permit. Hikers are boring and scared of stepping out of line. Hikers that think they are climbers are pathetic.

I've skied at Beaver Creek....skip it. Vail....mostly bullshit. A Basin rules Aspen mountain is good Sunlight, near Glenwood Springs might be good though I've never been there. Be warned though, CO has been having a dry warm winter. All the areas may suck. Also CO snow base is always low. I would think seriously about renting skis instead of trashing your own set. I think A Basin would be your best bet. Polli lift rules.
