i have almost all neutrinos and think they rock....yes i did find that they are kinda small with gloved hands..but for times when i am climbing with gloves on...i have lots of hotwires...plus i use really lite and thin gloves too... they certainly have their issues, but i think the benefits outweigh the negatives...... plus who cares about ice and stuff....we want the rock!!!!! with a little bit of ice...we want the rock!!!!

i applaud the decision to make teddy a cascade legend!!! i believe that teddy (not sure on teddy's or beck's gender anymore!!) qualifies to be one according to rodchester's "how to be a cascad legend in 12 mildy easy steps" program...what do you think rod???? though beck last i heard off of teddyruxpinnude.gov was that he was suiting up (better yet defurring) for this season's makah whale hunt.....always one for the animals that teddy is... go teddy!!!!

i don't know what weather sites and links you all use, but i think the wsdot's is the best local one.... enjoy http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/current/mainbas.htm jon & timm@Y i think it would be cool if we could get this up on the site or some other weather links.... you guys ever wonder why weather can be spelt three ways...: weather & wether & whether......the weather determines whether or not you go climbing.... thanks alex!!

with a couple freeones i am sure that i can get a better idea about these little guys...... [ 03-14-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

canadian alpine journal or bivouac.com will have info that you desire....also i think it was 97 or 98 that there was an article about in the aaj.....though i know that there a couple articles about it, but i can never remeber where i read them.....

this message is to all of oyu out there who have displayed anger or just been pissed while on the road...car, truck bike, horse...etc.... so what does your anger get you?? do you feel good after you have thrown a fit?? did your attitude or anger help make the situation better?? where you able to convey your message to the point of understanding as you screamed obscenitites?? did being soo pissed answer anything fo you?? make you safer?? i think the answer to above questions is no on all of them..... granted there are many many many many horrible drivers out there and you, me and every other person who owns or operates a car is one of them too.......we all have momentary lapses in thinking or attention.....granted when you are on the recieving end of it, it always seems so much worse....but we are all guilty.... so next time you are cut off, someone inadvertantly swerves into your lane...or people just suck...just ask yourself do i want to feel like shit and have this person whom i don't know, whom i will probably ever come into contact with again be able to control my emotions and reactions?? i think not....be the bigger person and look beyond evil and just carry on with life.... before you attack me on this....remember that i am an insurance adjuster and work with familes whom have had loved ones killed..i investigate accidents where people have been dismembered...i look at vehicles where violence has damaged the vehicle.....i know what can happen when driving goes wrong....worked claims where pedestrians and bicyclists are killed or injured....it all sucks big time......but still regardless if you are not injured be the better person...

MIKE, it may not appear this way all the time, but i do like to make informed comments and stuff.... that was my intent on looking at the contracts....to see what kind of setup/relationship the park has with its consessionaires.....if we knew what their relationship is and see how they are supposed to interact, then we can figure out/decied in our opinion on what we see would be best for the park and relay that to the superintendent......

sloppy, that new dodge durango $25K+ vehicle loaded with video cameras, lights, more light and an assualt weapon are all new for the leavenworth ranger district last year..... what do they use this super truck for??? writing tickets for non-paying recreationists....good thing they have an assault rifle for to protect our trails..... i think a major issue with the fee demo program (which you tried to layout) is fairnes// the fact that the usfs's job is to manage the resources that we as US citizens have intrusted them with....so why do they sell lumbar and mining right well below market value?? why do they control the worlds largest and most extensive road system??? another issue to consier is why if this is a good thing are they being underhanded about it?? if it only a demonstration to see if the public will support do they have a gun wielding ranger sitting in the parking lot to issue tickets?? how is that showing my no vote if i have to be face to face with an agressive law enforcement officer that has no legal right to issue me a ticket, when me not buying the demo pass is my no vote?? how can i vote no, if i am being threatend?? are we in zimbabwae??? where is the UN to oversee this process??? if there are any freddies out there, just want to let you know that no way in hell will you ever ever ever ever ever ever ever find me with forest pass or any other type of rereactional fee pass.

okay i'll embelish a little.. since this piece of gear wether it be the tibloc or the ropeman is going to essentially be your belay.....some time needs to be use to set it up...... we thought about this and will's issues were a concern.... basically you need to make the piece fixed to alleviate much movement.....two opposing equalized pieces is how i answered it.... granted this idea works with limited applications....and should only be used by experts...or balls to walls fools...... simuli climbing should only be attempted by parties whom have a good relationship with each other...trust and known abilites are key to fast and furious climbing......

Kidding Allsison, just kidding. actuallt rod i dont think she can in some capacities......we all need to just laugh at ourselves and if someone cant laugh at themselves feel free to laugh at me....

i also have a ropeman you can play with too....

matt, i have...though never did fall..... i will explain whilst climbing this weekend!!!

i think mattp is still drunk!!!!

quote: Originally posted by Stefan: The only thing that I think I would want out of the guiding side of Mt. Rainier is to make the contracts publicly available for viewing. I have heard rumors that people can't see the contracts--which does not make sense to me. I thought that all federal contracts are publicly available--except of course those contracts that are needed for national security. stefan, i have made the request for the information...intianlly i wanted it before the meetings, but after talking to MORA they said that they had no problem sending them to me, but only after the edited out the parts they wanted..... it is called the freedom of information act.

quote: Originally posted by willstrickland: Sounds like one of you sincere, smart, studly, sensitive, soul-searchering types needs to show up and bat your eyes at Allison so as to pique her interest and get her "enthused enough about it to drive to I-Quah" I'm enthused enough about it that I'll make an appearance some week soon, preferably after a weekend at Index with one/some of youse. Got those sick days to burn up before I quit ya know... well shit man you better get sick soon, before all the seattl-lites figure out how crappy index is all the time and then start to flock all over it like they do exit 30-something.....

quote: Originally posted by rr666: we can start the whole anti-gym thread all over. my basic opinion is that gyms really suck compared to real rock, but when it is all you have to get a pump and stay in shape, I will take it. I go to climb rather than socialize. I would very much rather be out at Index jamming up a crack than pulling on plastic any day. all i was doing was making an oberservation, next thing i know hiwerwa and sloppy were hitting on me.....i am inncoent!!! as usuall!!!

bites and slaps woo hoo...... soundz like we need to move pub club over to the catwalk club tonite......meow!!!!

funny thing is all you gym-bies stuck in a dusty room with most likely crappy music dont even know each other!!!!! dats funny.....soo much for the personal interaction between the social gym crowd!!! see you all later!!

Her? ahhh mista beck dat would wut sum peeps b callin a settled man....a man that has settled for imprisonment...not dat dats a bad ting..... and another thing on that subject.....i have been in two altercations in my entire life (beating my brother sensless does not count) but one was in the defense of my woman and all i can say is that once is all said and done, though i may have felt bad in my actions.....she more then let me know how much she appreciated my actions defending her.....

It does my old heart good to see you boys stick to your "guns" no matter how many times Allison announces she will not attend. I wish I could be there but my wife won't let me go. you can almost always tell the married guys, they make the biggest deal about if there are woman around at the pub clubs...sometimes it sucks to have already ordered but see something else you would like to eat.....granted it is always nice to have female presence around....and it does balance the hormone equation....but sheeeeit i would quote snoop dogg, but would probably have murder as the case that they gave me if..... i'll close my mouth now!!!
