Winter

Mike, Kristin and I were in the area over the weekend as well. The routes on the east face of Colfax looked in - forget their names - the Polish Bob WI4/5 route in the center of the face looked thin but fully formed - it would be exciting right now. The gully to the right was filled in but there may be a pitch or two of good ice at the bottom/middle and likely wallowing up top. May firm up with continued stable weather.

holy christ. do we have some working definition of "experienced climbers"?

sometimes i wish i could travel through phone lines and crawl out the other side straight into their ear holes and bore out their brains.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!! I fucking hate sitting on the god damn phone listening to shitty fucking elevator music and commercials waiting for some dumb ass customer service shithead to fix all the fuck ups they caused in my flight plans. ARRGGGHHH!!!! DELTA SUCKS ASSS!!! DON'T FLY DELTA. EVER. Thank you.

Thx John. Need some mountain time. Prolly gonna deal with shitty weather on Hood on Sunday. Enjoy Smith.

We just toss em down in the woods towards I205 with all other old kids bikes, mattresses and used pornos.

How about giving up time for selfish self-indulgent bliss in the mountains in order to be socially productive in your work in an effort to save the mountains for some other anonymous selfish self-indulgent person? Now that's a compromise ... or maybe it isn't.

I wish people would quit drillin and choppin the hookers at Rocky Butt.

WTF y'all hijacking my thread?! John when are you all headed to Smith? Friday night? Sat. morn?

I'm looking for a climbing partner this weekend - Hood, alpine, Smith? Whatever. Weather report doesn't look great - better on Sunday. Willing to suffer. PM if you're interested.

The anchors out there have been repeatedly chopped. The climbs are easily TR'd. Why are we going round and round with this at the expense of the rock? Take some freaking webbing and be done with it.

The fuckin baboons at the park gate at Mt. Kenya raped us and stole all our pita bread - bastards. Took the alpha male like 60 seconds to bust a move when I turned my back.

Pete can you PM directions?

Yeah sorry Bill, I typically don't represent criminals.

search the site lazy ass.

Ok, I'll bring these guys.

Reason # 138: Pete finally got into the Mazamas.

Those links aren't formatted correctly.

I don't know this for sure, but I'm pretty certain that no contest will not get you out of a suspension.

These guys kicked ass.

Instead of AK we might boat down to Columbia or Brazil to load up on provisions. Or I might use the travel money as entry fees into a Vegas poker tournament. Or I'll throw a party at my house and get everyone drunk. So many options. I kinda like the idea of you going down to Colombia and THEN having a party.

Sumner and Hornbein go way way back - could make for a great film if they would be interested. I know Tom had a FA of the Edmunds Headwall and I think Bill may have been with him - not sure.

Way to get after it guys. Hope everything heals up well.

The analogy between smoking and climbing doesn't make sense. Smoking is wide spread and kills millions of people, so the health insurance companies have a huge financial incentive to distinguish between smokers and non-smokers. There aren't enough climbers or enough climbing accidents to make it worth their time to sort out who climbs and who doesn't. None of you dirtbags has health insurance anyway so who cares?
