I'd like a simple schematic, with helpful stylized pictures.

Snow Creek wall is a good idea. You could make a nice link-up on Castle Rock, or at the 8 mile Buttress in the Icicle.

Some of it is. oh yeah? like which part of the science is "liberal propaganda"? It was not suggested that "some of" the data portion of the science was "liberal propaganda" (although, we all know data can be manipulated if desired), but, that "some of" the reports of attributable affects are exagerated; this is promulgated by both the Left and Right. If you swalllow everything you hear and read as credible and are unable, or unwilling, to discern apart from political alignment implausibility, you will follow many primrose paths. You've witnessed many flamboyant scientific claims by both the Left and Right on this subject. I suspect you've read more into my statement than was there... again. Wherever people and money are involved, there is bias. playing on words again ... individual bias cannot explain that 99.99% of the science says warming is real... No, money and people is a very effective formula for bias. Don't you question who funded research and speculate of bias if the results are not acceptable to you? Also, my statement reflected on the folly of those that write-off all of the data as "liberal hogwash"; it should be easy to construe my acceptance of the reality of global warming. It seems your biased judgment of me inhibits your interest in understanding what I write. There can be no doubt of an affect, it is the great extent that has yet to be quantified... doubtful it ever will; quite a complex equation, probably with variables yet to be known and defined. source (reputable, please). which greenhouse gas? certainly not CO2 (pinatubo was in 1991): http://www.magazine.noaa.gov/stories/images/maunaloacarbondioxide.jpg Sorry, don't remember the study. I read it sometime around '95. Well, you've matched my "study suggested" statement with a patent claim. Very bold considering your claim requires at least three orders of magnitude more conjecture on the emissions from volcanoes in the last 150 years. I agree. I just wanted to quote something with this many quotes in it.

Yowza! Once can only imagine the strained and awkward silence.

This thread brought 'em all out of the woodwork.

LINK!! C'mon, Thinker, we're dyin' here! and Archenemy needs fresh meat.

Propose while drunk and subsequently deny everything. Post tragic story online to seduce the next one.

not. irrespective of what went bad, the ring goes back to the guy. Bullshit. Irrespective of what went bad, the guy gave a gift. It's not conditional.

This shit keeps me up at night. To 'dumb down' skyclimb's traverse 1. cache food & comfort items at Colchuck Lake (Friday night) 2. N Ridge Stuart and traverse, back down to lake (Sat) 3. pick up cache and carryover Serpentine Ridge (Sun) 4. prusik w. ridge & complete temple traverse (Mon) back to work on Tuesday, only 1 day off work

Couldn't have been a mountie- they don't solo anything. Maybe BoeAlps? or an off-route Mazama?

Archenemy is my favorite new sprayer. Cobra Commander has lost his luster.

Thanks for sharing the TR. and yes, we're all turned off by excessive attitude.

Christ. pretty much puts any of my 'epics' in perspective.

Is it actually a done deal (I'd hate to celebrate prematurely). Can anyone confirm?

It's just a flesh wound.

The lo-tech hand crank is a time-tested method of passing tedious bivies.

Alex, I'll take "Yellow, Toxic, & Smells like Eggs" for $500.

this is a troll, right? please tell me this is a troll.

I poured a 40 for Gaia, beyotch. Ask me how.

Given a relatively level playing field --- i.e., water deep enough so that a Shark could maneuver proficiently, but shallow enough so that a Bear could stand and operate with its characteristic dexterity --- who would win a fight between a Bear and a Shark?
