ha! yeah, it's funny how technical pin pulling is. Just a pair of pliers in office, no mess no fuss. good times. it's usually painless BTW marylou.

I think a cabernet would be perfect, it's undertones of apple and plum would be the perfect complement to the orchards and fruit farmers of the methow and lowlands of western washington. but a dry reisling may be best for Index, it's cripness may offset the muggyness of a damp index morn.

uhhhhhgggghhh.!!!! uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ggggggggggghhwfffthhbbbtttt!!!!!!!!!!! BUMP!

fucking bullshit!

ok sweet, i'll submit it right now!

well yell out the window and taunt me as your driving by my school on I-84 just past exit 10 on the way to Hood River, Smith, destinations unkown... It's be funny as hell walking to class with some classmates to hear a "YOU SUCK LAYTON" screamed out of a car window going 70mph.

yeah, the stickers really piss me off. I put em on long ago when I worked outdoor retail. too lazy to scratch em off, so I slapped a big "climbing sucks" sticker over the middle. My car wouldn't go foreward when the alternator blew, so instead of pushing it to a shop in a record cold-snap outside of Billings,MT, I got a tow.

I'd be happy to share reasons over some beers one of these days, but the amout of typeing i'd have to do to answer all your questions is way beyond my attention span right now. short answer: personal opinion. If I went to go do the twin sister and saw that many people on the route, i'd be pissed off, turn around and go home. as for a number, I'd say no more than 3 people per route. i think the accident increase should be common sense.

no, you can't die from psychogenic shock, you could die from the potential sequalae however, mainly a heart attack, or from being injured while passing out.

True that about if you have the 4wd truck, you'll be the one trashing it in Canada. I suggest getting a tiny fuel efficient car, and renting a truck on the 4 days a year you actually need one. But if you do get a 4wd, don't get a subaru. Get a Toyota P/U (tacoma). My truck, THE GENERAL 2000 (it's the 2000 now that I have a mobile command unit; i.e. cell phone and laptop), fucking tears it up on the gnarl. There are TOO many stories about the General 2000 fucking leading the charge when all hope was lost. I have over 330,000 miles on the mo-fo and have only had a few repairs on it (knock on wood). It gets about 20mpg these days, which is pretty fucking good concidering it's milage. In fact, you may have seen THE GENERAL 2000 in such movies as X-MEN (seriously, my truck is in X-men). Me tearing shit up in the General 2000 in bumfuck canada (the Chehalis) And it's one of two repairs (the alternator in this case...after 300,000 miles) LONG LIVE THE GENERAL 2000!!!!!!!!

there's a big difference b/tween an infection like a cold or skin lesion, then there is with a systemic/localized infection of a bone, joint cavity, etc... different beast You could be coming down with a cold you caught while being in the hospital, unrelated to your injury.

Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but I still think that a party 26 people in the mountains is a bad call. I was wrong about the wilderness boundary, so I gues it's not illegeal there (not that I really care what's legal). I'm glad they had fun, but I'm also glad I wasn't there.

It's really amazing how many chick buy into that bullshit "lifestyle" crap.

that is kinda weird Marylou. Red flags would be infection 2ndary to the surgery (common)...so keep a close watch if anything changes/gets worse. other thoughts would be you are having a systemic reaction to the drugs used in surgery, or the inflammatory products your body is producing. or could be your so used to being busy/active that your body has never had a chance to rest and the pain/stiffness is your body overreacting. i dunno, but get checked out if anything changes, gets worse, or doesn't go away.

i can't find my feces climbing story???

Cute boys Cute girls sounds like a party. maybe I should drag my lame ass over

then the bolts that share pitches should be chopped

Hey, just remember, it takes a lot of colors to make a rainbow.

I've got no problem with a long alpine sport climb (yes it's an alpine climb, it climbs a peak). Alpenclippin is a hell of a lot of fun. Also it does seem like the bolts weren't overboard. The main problem was that it was done in a wilderness area. But what's done is done, and if it's a fun route then let's leave it be. The problem I have with it is (and correct me if I'm wrong): Didn't Doorish already do this route earlier, sans bolts? So basically this is a retrobolted climb? If so, then I think every bolt should be chopped. So is this a retrobolted climb?

Thank you

and true

Besides the fact that I think it's illegal to have that many people in a backcountry group, it ruins other parties experience, and increases the risk of an accident exponentially...and it is harmful to the environment to have that many people in a group outside at once.

Snugtop just made my hate list.

the log crossing is UPstream where the turn-off trail meets the river. When you cross the wilderness boundary/old growth area, keep your eyes PEELED for the climbers trail. After you grind uphill, DON'T go down to the lake, cutup hill and traverse the ridge around. Bring a camera.

OMFG I am so goddamn sick of studying. good thing i have another year left. people better be suffering from the shit i'm reading about
