AlpineK

I've climbed at Spire Rock. top that motherfucker.

I broke a pair of Fritschi bindings the same way. Shear around the toe piece. This happened last year. Pro Ski gave me a new pair right away as I was leaving for France. I don't know what the turn around time for the replacement was, but they did send Pro Ski a new pair.

So I thought I would bump this back up top. I've got one sucker, but 1 or 2 more would be good. This is a 10 day thing I'm talking about, so if you can't do ten days starting on or about the 10th of May don't write me. It's a lot of work but a cool thing to do; you'll love it.

They looked like they'd put up w/ all kinds of abuse... *and* they were sexy! Arborwear pants about $50/pair. You can only get them from tree guy supply places. They take a beating pretty well. You can find them at Sherrill Arborist Supply Sherrill or better yet pants

I had a fun time climbing at PG a few weeks back. I don't know what polesmoker's deal is, but the place is safe enough.

Groomed Xtreem ski descents rule!

I'm mostly interested in having a bong bolted to Muir hut. I haven't paid a lot of attention to the rest of the big debate. If someone did bolt the standard route on Ingalls (is this true?); I'm down with chopping it. If it gets bolted again then chop it again. I don't agree with Mattp's, "let it be," phiosophy; I'm more in tune with Gaper #1. I should add that I have no interest in seeing anything chopped at Frenchy gully or Exit 38. These places were choss piles before bolts. I have no problem with the bolting in D town since the people behind it seem to know what they're doing. However I'm for bolting wars when it comes to the Cascades, Castle Rock, and to a lesser degree Index and the Icicle. I don't know if that makes any sense, but thats how I see it.

I'm all ready to go skiing, but TNF still hasn't sent me money. Please hurry up and send me cash. $10,000 will do to start.

AlpineK - The catch is that you have to wear their gear. Do you really want to ski Denali looking like a Nordstrom-shopping poseur? No I don't. Part of the $10,000 will go to hire a sherpa to cary all my NF gear. I'll put on the NF stuff for photos. My sherpa will also cary; all the booze my Xpedition needs, a boom box and cd's, and of course a bunch of da kine. I bet the Medical tent at 14,000' would make a great place to stage another Muir an Saturday. Hmmm... come to think of it I think Scot'teryx should be my sherpa.

All Beer all the time!

I'm 4th generation local. I ski. I wan't the North Face to give me money. I'll go ski something and wear cool NF gear. Then I'll talk it up give a slide show for you. Please send me money now! I'm not joking... send me some money

Ok You boys and girls are going to have to fight this out on your own tomorrow; as I won't be near a computer. As I see it we can drink at: The Alki good seating, cheap burgers, cheap beer, cool blue collar bar. The Elesian Seating? Good Beer, Yuppy exhipster fuck fuck place, Sterile(healthy ) I don't hear anyone talking up the Owl this time so we'll drop it. On the bright side the two choices both have beer! Word up

Icegirl, just call it at the Elysian and us boys will be there!!!! Artsyfartsy my ass. Like I said before the Capitol Hill scene is so over. Catch a clue. I'll drink there, but I don't think the place can handle the excess crowd. I'm not sure if we have a concensus. I mean are we all going to hold our breath and hope that Icegirl shows up when she hasn't been to a pub club in months? Maybe she's just like Rodeo; picking a location and then never showing up..

You could see Wedge? Huh we were at Wedgemont hut and couldn't see 50'

I can't see the picture, but I assume it's from GuitarBitch's profile. I did notice that we have a new member from back east GuitarWizard(Bitch). A warm welcome to you GuitarBitch. The world of CC is a friendly warm place where people help each other and really care about the other posters. I'm sure you will love the friendly people you meet here.

Shitty weather, bad snow, and extreme skinning over snow/logging slash. It really doesn't get any better!! Nice to meet you Jordop! At least the company was good; better luck next time. [ 04-22-2002, 07:28 AM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Lets not confuse ourselves too much. 4/23 Pub Club is at the Alki or Owl and Thistle Future pub clubs might be held at Fiddlers ect, but the jury is still out. I'm thinking Alki this Tuesday. [ 04-21-2002, 07:36 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Coopers has this trivia thing going on on tuesdays, so I don't think that will work. I don't know much about the Shanty, Fidlers, or the Back Door. maybe we could check them out. quote.. What about the elesian (sp?) on capitol hill. It's big enough and is non smoking. We have been to smoking bars lately What are you some kind of wimp? I'm so healthy la la la. I would think about the Elesian, but it seems like given the croud that shows up there already that CC would put things over the top. Besides the Capitol hill scene is so over; maybe if this were the early 90's...

Ok it's time once again to fight about where we are drinking. We are going to be drinking in Seattle next week the only question is where. We need a spot that can handle about 30 people; because of that I don't want to hear random names of bars. In fact I think at this point with the turnouts we've had any new spot should be scoped by a group of cc folks. (I for one can be talked into drinking most days of the week) It would be nice to get a spot in NE Seattle, but lets research it first. What I think this means for 4/23 is we should either drink at the Owl and Thistle or the Alki. I'm more in favor of the Alki since we haven't been there in a while. Lets have a nice clean fight.

I guess I've pushed your buttons F. You should try having a German last name; you'll have a thick skin in no time especially if all your friends are jackasses. I get the feeling reading your posts that you like many people think that scientists have a political agenda just like politicians. Everyone has some sort of political belief, but I can tell you, from my experience in science classes, anyone doing research puts a high value on correctly interpreting data and making logical arguements. Yes there are those who cheat, but eventually they get exposed. If you read the report above you would see that there is lots of evidence to support the idea that no one was trying to cheat on the Lynx study. I don't think you read it, and I think you responded with a knee jerk reaction based on you political beliefs.

On the other hand there are folks like me who just say DUH and go tearing off up the mountain instead of thinking about the potential or likely consequenses of taking a whipper, am I going to get avalached on, do I have enouogh pro (or too much)etc etc. Grasshopper must learn to think before climby. oh well, ignorance is bliss I don't mean you shouldn't have information and knowledge, but there comes a time when you have to stop thinking and just say duh. Duh
