my problem is i buy something and wind up eating that same dinner for like a week straight. not soooo bad i guess.

darin put these in the gallery sodonme-nw butt me on 1st pitch ****5.10+ super sweet but hard! Me on sod pitch two M4. note the climbing in full belay jacket and sod-cicles. don't stand on the mosshrooms too long, and bring yer tool. there is one possible way to advoid this, but it looked scary hard so i pussed out this way...and we got punished for it. other way looked like steep aid seam land, or offwidth overhang land. whatever, it's all climbing brah! darin's nice topo

anyone have suggestions with ingredients that a.) do not spoil if you don't use it all (like vegetables) b.) can be frozen without ruining them (like vegetables) c.) don't involve spices of any sort way shape or form besides salt, pepper, and or hot sauce. everytime i buy vegetables to make some big ol fancy dish, i never wind up using them again and they rot in the fridge, forgotten. Rat privately told me that lasagne is a good idea. right-ho. make a shitload and freeze the rest. No good burritto suggestions? You can make and freeze them. Pasta sux, i get hungry within an hour of eating. I thought of some: Hot dogs and buns. A piece of chicken or some type of meat. Canned soup Canned chef-boy-ar-dee product Tuna melt sandwiches Canned corn or green beans. Meatloaf-fuck yeah!!! shake and bake chicken!

i would have gone but it was too late and i missed the boat due to a very selfish climbing partner. i went to smith today instead. booo hooo.

that's just what it's called. the little white house is really a big bank vault and wine cellar.

Rat, that other middle unclimbed buttress is still up for grabs. We chose ours b/c it looked way better...so the middle one could possible suck some serious ass. The kearney and cod routes are the good lines on that mtn. The middle buttress looks the biggest, but actually they are all about the same legnth give or take about 100 feet (about 1300 feet elevation gain while climbing)...steep down low, easy climbing up high. go get it, but don't expect a classic on your hands. approach times. In: 6 hours Up: 6 hours Descent to Camp:1.5 hours Out: 4.5 hours. Not spraying 'bout times, just trying to show folks it's not as far in or as big a climb as it looks from the books and topos. Easy two days including the drive from B'ham or Seattle.

Climb: Castle Peak-FA: Sod-On-Me III 5.10+ A2 M4 Date of Climb: 9/29/2005 Trip Report: Well Darin was supposed to write the TR, but i guess he is too busy with the homelife. I'll just add my photos and let him tell the tale. The larches are turning and it was just gorgeous outside just before the storm. Darin is cool, it was very cold, we missed the storm by a hair, and it was the worst route i've ever done up top, one of the best down low. Quote of the trip from Darin, "Oh God what have I done!" after a particularly serious and irreversible moss mantle to a wet blank steep slab runout into drippy moss mushroom land. Very funny in a not so funny kinda way. Do tell the tale of stormin' the castle oh Darin, won't you!?!? Gear Notes: rack up to 3" ice tool for moss mushroom manteling Approach Notes: prettiest damn trail in the world

dooood! i wish it was the approach spider, but i need military backing for that proj. plus, it's justin's idea. that thing from spiderman 2 reminded me of our approach spider telescoping leg AI unit though. no, this is something easy and cheap...but revolutionary.

make some money? Mtnhigh and I have an idea.

plus you could work with gene

ok the 22nd it is.

Now that it's all over for some time, and this thread has seen more views that it should have, i can now reflect. 1st...where are the willing girls? Seriously, no one has dropped trow and spread it while i've been walking down the street or shopping or anything. 2nd...there is still war and hate and disaster. bad things still happen to good people. WTF???? I thought this would end that. 3rd...the free beer and climbing gear hookups. still waiting.... do you need my address???? 4th...unsolicited sexual favors. yeah, same as the 1st, but come on! 5th. Most important climb in 50 years in the casacades. Nope. not even close. that's just plain silly. E face of Slesse? 5.12's on Baring? Colonial peak's NF is 4000 feet tall, not a measly 2500. Too many to name to pale in comparison. 6th. Upping the bar. Only if the bar serves whiskey did we up that. 7th. The whole wilderness ethics debate. My debate can be summed up in two words. Fuck You. 8th. It's friday night. I'm bored. I can barely remember few, if any detail of the climb. Someone could have photoshopped me in and written a TR and I wouldn't be any different as i am right now...bored to tears, slightly drunk, and wishing i was somewhere else right now. 9th, and finally. please lock this thread. it's soooo over. caput. finished. R.I.P.

i love you. there, i've said it. it's not like you didn't know. where do we go from here?

no, it looks like an actual colon. you can see the haustra and tanea coli, which aren't normally seen in ones poop. i think someone actually shat out their colon.

can somebody clue me in as to how this become the #1 thread by a long shot? i haven't had the urge to actually read it, so if someone can sum it up that'd be great. also, if someone could clue me in on the whole nodder and otter thing too, that'd be great also. and for the rest of you all, well...fuck you. good day.

jesus dude. don't do it. go apply for AAI or Evil AAI, both are hiring.

i say kill em all and let god sort it out

ahhhhh, fear tactics. fear can sell better than sex (except sexual fear). i find it unbelievable that the human race has been existing soooo long without the aid of this kit. place your orders now!

any good ideas? i now have a stove and pots and shit. i went to fred meyer and gots me a chicken, cheese, tomato, basil, n' some torts and made me a quesadilla for dinner the past 5 nights. so besides that and frozen shit from Trader Joes, i mostly forgot what i eat....so post some ideas thats cheap, quick, and good eatin'. no bland hippy shit please. burrito ideas? what to do with that "oven" thing below my frying pan? ideas needed!

lots of rumor its next weekend....so when the flip is it gonna be? someone put the date in bold font or something

oh, and anyone who pm's me where i saw the water ice gets a kick in the nuts or vagina.

found a bunch of water ice up in the cascades at a few unfun, inaccessible locations two days ago. it's almost time, after this storm..a little cold snap BABAM! ice.

there is no wilderness when we have airplanes, helicopters, and satilites...only the perception of wilderness. so might as well not bushwack.

We found the fastest way on the way out (took 10 hours down) was to stay high to the south about 500' above the valley hugging the edges of talus slopes then to drop back down into the creek at about 3400' elev, 1.5 miles from the trail. The fist 1.5 miles is mega bush even up top, and the ridgeline is a few 1,000 above the valley so you'd be wasting a lot of time going up hill then back down way before the trail. I heard going up Indian creek may be quicker, dunno?
