slate.com has the early exit polls, which don't mean shit, but the bush baby is going down anyway.

cardio cardio cardio. that place desperately needs cardio eqiup, but i doubt he'll put it in, because it costs $$. putting up a jug haul is free. actually getting your customers some equipment costs money.

i maintain my faith god must be an alpinist if he really is

I watched it on Sunday when I was supposed to be spotting MtnHigh on Thin Air. Pretty cool shit. They were whooping it up like kids over there.

beware the chestbeat took a 30 meter fall above thumb rock on lib ridge. saved by partner self arrest. too close to death. p that took 60 meter fall was in worse shape.

smith smith smith and more smith. random sightings. skyclimb. dfa. beth and tommy. aidan - pilot from AK we met in the bugs. realized i shot the shit in the bugs with mark synnot for three or four days wihtout knowing it. turning the nubbin hate to nubbin love by the end of the weekend.

RIP. Seems the locals get a bit more respect around here when they pass.

1. All the routes I'm too soft to climb. 2. All the routes I'm not climbing while at work. That pretty much sums it up.

Don't know if anyone will be interested in this, but I just got notice from the FS that they will start the public process for improvements French's - retaining walls and belay platforms and new segments of trail. Contact Mary Ellen Fitzgerald - 503-622-3191.

Sorry for the bad attitude, but I've been listening to people complain about this place since I moved to Oregon in '98. I can't tell if I'm more tired of the PRG itself or all the complainers complaining about it non-stop. Complaining hasn't improved the situation.

I'll second Will's comments. Either clam up, get out or put up and open a new gym. I think a low key coop in SE would be a great idea.

We've got 1 room in our big 4 bedroom bungalo near the Hawthorne district in Portland. PM if you're interested. Rent = $390. Its a sweet set up.

Hey all, thought I would forward this little tidbit of warmth from Meadows management. Enjoy. (POST DELETED)

TG, can you look into brewing up some absynthe and also maybe look into the local Oregon market for home grown kb. Also, try this new product - grean beam. Take the leftovers of the kb process and let them soak in a bottle of beam for a few weeks. I see huge growth potential.

Oregon used to be pretty lenient with speeding tickets. They would pretty much reduce fines by as mush as 75% if you showed up and claimed financial hardship or wrote a nice letter. Now, you're screwed. You can ask for a hearing and hope the cop doesn't show up, but I don't have a lot of other suggestions.

Shit. You all suck (except TG). At least I got my wife back.

thanks, kepp it comin. mostly b-c. i spend a lot of time on my at set up right now and want something for the b-c, mostly day trips.

Hey folks, I've been skiing for probably 27 years, but I've never picked up tele skiing before, so I figure now is the right time to start. I need a little gear advice. A girl I know has a pair of K2 Heli Stynx (170 cm she thinks) and Riva II bindings. I go about 5'7" and 130-130 lbs. She paid $500 and wants to sell them to me for $250. I know she has barely used this stuff. So will this be a good set up for me and is the price right?

You could nail up the hand crack at PRG.

Smoking Ass!!

Yeah, I think the choice is pretty clear for pure outdoors quality - go with SLC. But the mormons may weird you out. I've spent a lot of time with family near SLC, and I also spent a week in LCC earlier this fall, and a lot of people I met complained about the mormon culture. But the Wasatch is not alpine climbing, and there isn't a lot of alpine rock close to town, it mostly cragging. Actually maybe the choice isn't so clear. But you can get Polygamy Porter in Utah!! You can have 10 beers at once and 45 little beers runnig around just waiting to grow up to become full blown drinking beers.

STOKE!

you crazy fool! bring on the bottles!! Hopefully then I won't have to spend so much time at the horses ass.

DMM cams are a good way to cut down on weight and cost, but I don't really like mine that much. They have a real narrow range, they walk and they get stuck super easy. But if you don't mind the precise placements you need, then go for them. I actually think the new friends may weigh less, but they cost a lot more.
