Winter

the thought of having five screaming kids running around my house.

Anyone know why my machine seems to upload every photo at least two and sometimes three or four times into the gallery? I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks.

Leavin for another trip and finally got around to cleaning out the camera. the crux the climb the crux from the col the post-climb scotch on the rox

Hey guys, I live here in Oregon and am working on several law suits regarding Measure 37, which is Oregon's equivalent. Both 933 and M37 are written very poorly and result in incredibly difficult problems of application and interpretation. If a more reasonable compromise had been worked out by the private property folks, then a limited number of people could actually have moved forward with rasonable projects (such as a single family dwelling on farm land). As it stands now, they reached too far and ended up with a law that is so confusing and difficult to apply that no bank will fund any of these projects. You can't just reverse hundreds of years of American political theory by suddenly deciding the government has to compensate people for every exercise of its regulatory power that results in some financial consequence. How the hell would we ever regulate anything?

So how does someone use a fake id card to withdraw money from account? Sure you didn't leave it in the canadian brothel?

yo keith what up buddy. i'd go climbing with ya but i'm off to california with the s.o. hope you been gettin out.

One of my climbing buddies' kid brought home a botfly in his forehead from Costa Rica. Apparently the maggot had started its transformation into a fly before they figured out what it was and removed it from his head. He put it in formaldahyde and took it school and became known as the "Botfly Boy." The home remedy involves duct taping a raw piece of meat to your head so the maggot has to burrow into it in order to reach the surface for fresh air. Parasite are cool.

Thanks for sharing the stoke!! The wife and I are packing for a 10-day Cali swing as we speak - ETD Wednesday evening.

shouldn't this be in cafe sensitivito? or perhaps the pirate forum? maybe a new butt pirate forum for kevbone?

the US government provides flood insurance becasue rich white people like to live in floodplains. they have nice views and are clost to the water. duh.

how many geomorphologists does it take to grind a thread into spray?

Nothing like orals to cure a good hangover!

If I dies tomorrow, I'd be dead AND hungover. I'll probably feel like I'm dead tomorrow morning anyway.

come on Jim cut it out with the spray and be serious. its clearly the plame plant.

Being that the event will have free beer and PRG is within stumbling distance of the doug fir and Mary's Club (google it if you aren't at work) I think the choice is obvious... WTF?! False advertising. Mary's Club is downtown on Broadway next to US Outdoor. You must be referring to Union Jack's, which is famous for being run by the Russian Mafia. Get your PDX dens of sin straightened out if you're gonna appeal to the leacherous.

Nice! Thanks for the stoke. Headed to the area with the wife in a couple of weeks.

unplanned bivy due to our suckness. brrr. couple hours of toe rubbin and no worse for the wear. full harvest moon and no wind.

Getting worked up about who posts what is only going to lead to misery and frustration. Fuck it. Use what you like and ignore the rest.

Sry no pics yet. Jeff is the A/V stud. Telemarker, I've talked to other people that rapped the Big Hose as well. I'm pretty sure what happens is that once folks rap into the gully from the top of p15, they head straight up the first gully all the way to the ridge and end up North of the summit. If they rap down from there, the get the Big Hose. The route goes right into a second gully after the rap from p15 that tops out to the south of the summit next to the fixed rap stations. Easy mistake we almost made in the dark.

Climb: South Howser-Beckey-Chouinard Date of Climb: 9/6/2006 Trip Report: Alzner and I climbed Beck-Ch on Wed-Thur of this week. After a start slowed by a delayed departure, a speeding ticket in Stanfield, and a flat tire in Radium, we finally made it to Applebee. We hung out with Arnold from Squish who generously donated a full beer less than 5 minutes after our arrival at Applebee. Apparently his partner had bailed and left him with an "extra" beer. Never heard of "extra" beers before, but who were we to ask questions? Thanks Arnold! Things were turning around. Next morning we moved up further and then climbed the route the next day. Ended up bivying 200 ft. short of the summit after a long day of climbing. Beautiful route in a stunning setting. We didn't see anyone else in East Creek or on route. Woke up after a chilly bivy, topped out and rapped off. The final rap station was a 25' extension from a slung block. We both hung from the cord on 40 deg black ice, rerigged the rap and then rapped over the bergschrund. Touch down was sweet. Conditions are still excellent, but the B-S Col was tough to descend with tennie runners, aluminum crampons and a full pack - getting pretty icy and broken up. By the time we left, the place was empty and weather looked like it may move in. Still, this is a great time to be in the Bugs and not too late in the season. Gear Notes: alpine rack, axe, tennies, aluminum pons

has anyone ever heard of an alien failing?

So Mike does this mean you are getting shock therapy for your personality disorder?

Don't know. I'm pretty sure I climbed what you're talking about a couple weeks ago and I assumed that had to the be the .9 lieback. The crack I climbed was pretty obvious from the base and looked like the crack went left at the top but I finished it striaght up or slightly to the right in a small corner.

That's the 5.9 layback variation in the Beckey guide. Fun fun fun. Should be able to run it all the way to the base of the bear hug.

You sound like yet another condescending environmentalist with unacceptable manners and lagging intellect. Pick up the shit and STFU. FW's true hypocrytical colors come screaming through in technocolor. BTW, try a penis extension next time. It'll prolly help you self-esteem more than flying your ass hole flag on the internet.
