Well, don't take this personally TekEss, but you came here because you've been sold a bill of goods by the media who's flogging a soap opera for the sake of making the kind of money you seem to think the owners of this site should be bellying up to the trough to get their share of. Don't get me wrong, it's a very sad thing that has happened, and strikes a chord with the members of this site because it's the sort of thing that could happen to anyone here. The three climbers sound like good folks, and were certainly very special to their friends and family, but the tragedy of untimely death is repeated a thousand times a minute across the globe. I've had six friends die in the mountains, and odds are you've never heard of any of them. There's nothing especially noble about climbing, and as you've noted, about climbers in general either. This site is a place for climbers in the Northwest to talk amongst themselves, about ideas, adventures, plans, and all kinds of stuff. Many have the same kind of black humor you'll find among firemen, ambulance drivers, and ER docs. We also shoot the shit, argue amongst ourselves, insult each other, and have bitter battles over things that are essentially trivial in the greater scheme of things. We're not about explaining what we do to the world at large, and it's merely happenstance that we've been one of several ground zeros for the kind of frenzy a good disaster with a human element excites in a public that chooses to live vicariously. For the record, I'm not an administrator or owner of this site, I'm a poster who was asked to become a volunteer moderator. More specifically, I'm a Spray Moderator, which means I have a thick skin, a wicked sense of humor, an inclination towards irreverence, and am an advocate for intellectual freedom and free expression. This site may very well not suit you. It's certainly not for everyone. You might want to check out rockclimbing.com, summitpost.com, or nwhikers.net, all sites that cater to different aspects of climbing. Own up. Timmay caught you leering at his dogs, then found you hilt deep in a doberman.

I'm an expert. Olyclimber, I am your father

The cut rope came from the sheriff in one of the press conferences. Then he said 'cut with a knife,' as if that were somehow significant. And, my impression was that the rope was at the site of the makeshift ice cave over the gullies. those are Leni Riefenstahls Ice Caves - Hitler, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Janice, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobaine and Elliot Smith entertain there. Fucking tourists don't know better.

Funny enough, the unmarried actress who played Mary in the Nativity Story is knocked up

yes, I do measure dates throats

You are just pissed Tom Cruise didn't visit you in the middle of your last climb. My last epic I saw Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, the Gimp, Zed and Keyser Soze! They pulled up in a mauve Maybach with dubs!

twocents, your internet partners are going to cut the rope.

That's a completely insensitive thing to say about three fellow members of the climbing community. You are right. John Travolta piloted Tom Cruise in his jet to the top of Mt Hood, then Tom jumped out of the plane, bounced off the couch Oprah had left on the summit, and pogo sticked down to the climbers. He gave them each the Vulcan neck pinch, then slipped them all a rophy before injecting them with a traceless toxin. Tom then Zorb'd his way down to government camp where he picked up his stockcar that Katie had left at the Huckleberry Inn and Days of Thunder'd his way down 26 to PDX for his Learjet to LA and dinner at Spago (the wild orchid bruschetta and a triple sperm gin martini)

Because the flying spaghetti monster decided their time was up you dumb cunt!

Ze pole? we knvow you smok ze pole

I'm paying someone at an internet cafe in Shenzen to post for me.

another assbag. I'll call him Phil Jones/virendra/twocents

"You know, every douchebag, thrill seeking mountain climber aught to sign a waiver that if lost, the family NOT the government should be responsible for the rescue effort. I cannot imagine if I lost a wife or husband or friend or whatever who was out in a hellicopter trying to find one of these self apointed daredevils. Mountain climbing is a HOBBY. Mountain climbers need to take into account that they place INNOCENT people in harm's way just cuz "it was there". Just to feed some man vs. nature ego trip. Why can't ya just take up Russian Roulette as a hobby and spare the good men and women who are out trying to rescue real victims? Why is your ego so inflated that you risk rendering your families fatherless or motherless or whatever. It amazes me the number of these idiots who are married with children. This, in my opinion constitues family neglect by willingly placing your family in harm's way so you can have something to brag about. I hope those men out there died suffering, because it'll be nothing compared to the suffering they caused DOZENS of people who have regular, uninflated egos. With HDTV there is no risk. THINK ABOUT THIS PEOPLE......"

Aren't you the one deep throating MLU's?

if that'd happen they'd have got Phil Jones with his dick in the permit slot at Timberline

Everybody is surprised by the Dirty Sanchez

Get a fucking passport and take it.

Reincarnation, bitch

JayB- This seems to be along the lines of the options backdating scandal (what if you had a scandal, but no stock prices were pummeled). What if you had a bust but nobody noticed?

AtAts only past the first marker?
