that's what i though he was talking about too

"Hug Drul" (this is the best game ever)

Salk or Sabin?

I'll start again: "R"

to see what the collective consciousness creates, kinda like the aids blanket w/o the aids or blanket

dick

no, he's dead. counted too many flowers on the wall while smoking cigarrettes.

Collective Spelling Bee Rules: one letter per poster/avatar per word, type the previous letters in case it gets lost in the spray. you can start a new word when one is created, or try and make a new word that begins with the old one (example "horse" could become "horsecock" which could become "horsecockery" and a new word begins anew) Let's see what the collective unconsciousness creates? This should be good. I'll start: "G"

matt, it's been number one on my list for several years. cannot wait! i've been in that cirque and done the approach 4 times now...stupid variables.

John Scurlock told me it's covered in snow, gotta wait.

JoJo, the longest ice climb is the one having the most fun

ivan, i'm done friday and don't start till oct 4th. lemme know if ya wanna climb anywhere (except portland)

hey crain and john nice work boyz. will be seeing both of you i'm sure this summer (i'm playing hookey all summer so email me if ya wanna suffer).

guess who i'm referring to? Ya know when you're hanging out with your friends 'round a fire after climbing, say in j-tree. and someone comes over and you already get that "feeling" and they're like, "hey man, mind if i join you're guys's fire?" and you politely say sure. next thing this dudes totally drunk and annoying and won't leave so instead of kicking him out, you end the night early by saying, "yeah, well...long day today, early start tomorrow. guess i'm hitting the hay" and everyone goes to bed early cuz of "That guy"

i had to carry someone out of the canyon over my shoulder until i found help when i visited it back in '95. i know what ya mean. group mentality can also be a source of trouble though!

yikes!

where is Liberty Mtn Lowell. Geordie, i've done both in spring. not to much of a challenge with a few weeks between them though.

i see a shape...it's a ...it's a tower... i'm seeing white and, brown

anyone been up to baker and seen how much snow was on nooksak tower recently?

cancel that request.

ok. i'm gonna go puke now

that hasn't been done yet actually. I tried it a few years ago and got TOTALLY hosed on the approach. of course we went during a major dump. took us 9 hours from the car to about 1/2 mile from the mountain! then to add insult to injury my friend Tim comes skiing up behind us with his dog and said, "hey thanks for packing down the trail guys!" Then to add salt in that wound, Tim writes a monthly column in the bellingham herald called, "outward hound" and wrote, "conditions were great thanks to two hikers ahead of me" Then my partner lied to the American Alpine Inst and said we did it in those full conditions (thinking they'd get his joke) they didn't and now think i'm either a total liar or totally hard core.

dru you could probably do it in a day, two days ez. no, i haven't done it. the 1st two will take about 1/2 the day, the others should go by VERY quickly. (i've done the N and south traverse by myself one cold lonely day and had to bivy cuz of a whiteout). the ridge b/t the two is really shitty, but easy.
