how would you know, it could be really hard? WHAT are you saying exactly?

These are the one's i still haven't climbed for reasons beyond the control of man or god: 4 on Colonial Pk N.F. 3 on NY Gulley 3 on baker NR 3 on colfax ice route 3 on staurt glacier couloir 4 on crestone needle 5 on ham and eggs 2 on eldorado nw face couloir 3 on the ribbon 2 on Ashlu 4 on Vienesse NF 2 on cardinal pinnacle 2 on rideout 4 on price glacier/nooksack tower 3 on hyperspace 3 on hood/i-rock 2 on sloan w.face I've fail on a WHOLE lot more shit than that, but i just listed one's i've either failed multiple times. I didn't list shit i've finally gotten up...like backbone ridge took 3 attempts but with success finally. this winter i attempted 7 alpine climbs 7 weekends in a row with much driving and slogging without any success. i'm good at failing...but i get up lots of shit too. it's all about the short term memory, persistance, and will of the gods. Skill has LITTLE to do with it.

fuck that noise. it's all about the yellow hardman pad. yellow hardmen don't need no calculations...just yellow pad.

i have to drop the kids off at the pool 1st

no, vit A is a fat-soluable vitamin and more than the RDA is bad news....BUT Mr. Catbirdseat, when taken in the form a beta-carotein, the body cleaves it into 2 units of vit-a until the desired amount is needed. no more. so since your body regulated vit a intake through beta-carotein...you can't o.d. So unless your buyign some weird brand of vitamin that gives you pure Vit A, you shouldn't destroy your liver at all. And Dru, there is no evidence to suggest a mega does of Vit E is bad for you.

please, nobody post the photo of JoJo in drag ice climbing

tonight is my last night of membership and i haven't been on the ropes once, quite sick o' bouldering. anyone want to join me. i'll be there 'round 5 or 6 or 7pm.

It can be a mixed bag...i would make it a chance stop-over to somewhere else. it gets awesome sun, but it's totally unprotected. basicaly the winds can be so bad that there won't be a sole but you and the NOLS course huddled together exchanging debriefings and playing the human knot. it was so bad there once that my partner (the infamous Necronomicon) was literally blown up a climb. anyway the place is super super fun..it's similiar to Squamish in the type of cracks and softness of the rock (the rock is some of the OLDEST around). Bring supplies cuz it's in the middle of nowhere where you wonder what 90% of the population does for a living besides putting dirt in large piles and then moving it to another pile. Be sure to check out Little America and Whamsutter, two of this countries finest towns.

Not really. Page 40, Alpinist X. Julian Cartwright - RIP. well there ya go, definately not using a ridgerest now

Ahhh, the ol' "yellow hardman pad" ! hard to find a photo of someone with a ridge rest strapped to the side of their pack. i like it cuz 1st, i can pretend to be a hardman, 2nd its much lower in profile, especially the ultra thin bivy pad. basically if you are bivying en route, then they are the pad of choice for alpinists. if you're not bivying on route, get an ultralight thermarest. the other pads are just way too bulk to lash on the side of your pack....although they are cheaper and lighter.

i dunno, this all seems quite improbable

grrrrrrrrrr. just finished boards this weekend 6 exams, and have finals all this week (9 exams) = 15 exams in 8 days. want a after being

so what did you climb? i have a hard time reading things this long sometimes (although i enjoyed it) without pics or bold font

yeah, that golden face pitch is fun good times on guides wall, caveat emptor, and the snaz want to do the fifty crowded route on Moran, and also baxters, and N ridge of the grand (off the top of my head). i'm sure's there's more good stuff.

been done..still waiting a fwa. get on it

free food girl? does she have a shower and a couch? set me up!!!

yeah, i know. she was like, "i saw some 'interesting' pictures of you on some climbing website" i wouldn't worry my friend...since you're a climber you should expect a lasting relationship built on quality time spent together. i'd be more worried about people who have jobs and brush regularly.

I've heard rumor that the WTO will place a ban on over the counter supplements that are over the RDA...so you will need a prescription for your vitamin C. I heard that this already took effect in europe and over the counter multivits are super expensive now. This is supposed to take effect June 1st i hear. is this true. if so WTF WTO?

i meant senate, not "census" btw

way to go mark...i love your body. did you show Anne your new watch?

i have it embroidered on my windshirt

same deal goes for this friday which i have off to prepare for board exams...i.e. to climb. call, write, email, pm me, light the signal, or use the whistle. I had fun with a 1st time partner "Ireno Fuernes" last sunday with my lame lil 1/2 day sesh', maybe you can have fun too? I don't climb as well as Texplorer, but don't talk as much as Ivan, but i can spray better than NOLSe and i'm young dumb and full of FUN!

if you can't find anyone, i could go for a 1/2 day at Broughton's on friday (tomorrow)

i'm glad the census committee chose to investigate this instead of the other less important issues

So does this mean you're never going to stop stalking my girlfriend beeyotch? dude, she's the one stalking me
