Now go back and take the planks all the way up and schuss the bowl above CR.

Wow, that sounds like a helluva fucking blast! Sorry that you live so far away, bill, or I'd come on over and eat yer food and drink yer beer. :brew:

Wow, that's terrible. Mid-air helo crash, with loss of life of almost all on board. My sincerest condolences to the family and friends, and a big dose of "here's pulling for you" for James Taylor, the sole survivor.

well, there's a real thread-killer...

Uhhhh, that's not gonna work, Peter Porter. Yeaaaaaahhhh..

that's funny

You're no sucker, Carolyn. You just care more than most folks do. Caring hurts sometimes. This has been one of those times for you.

clearly...

I haven't seen a marked increase in the number of "Mr. Corporate America" (Corporatus americanus, an offshoot of G. yuppyscumus) driving around just yet. But I suspect by this time next week, it will be a whole different ball game. I've got mine last year, but I haven't charged it up in like, months! I'm waiting until the last possible moment.

No, YouTube is clear, except for the more graphic section of YT. Somehow the proxy server knows the difference between the G/PG/R-rated side and the X-rated side. Don' ask me... WTF does that mean?

WRONG! It's not a contract, it's an insurance policy... for the woman! When the policy matures, she's guaranteed half your shit, fer sure.

Did you get over to Gibraltar Rock/Northrup Canyon at all, Off?

That could explain a great many things...

Yea, verily.

Excellent work, Off! Glad to see the ol' GE is getting some traffic. Man, I'd like to get up there...

Dude, so you're gonna be there this weekend? You riding in the truck? Be there this weekend, yes. Riding in the truck, no. Family obligations on Saturday morning will prevent departure prior to noon. See you later in the day.

From my experience in mountain rescue, we don't get consistent cell reception on Adams. So when we're on missions there, we use FRS and the "county sherriff band" radio (TAC). If you're just looking to stay in touch with your group, the FRS radios will do fine. They have a 2-mile LOS range, and I've actually gotten 8+ miles out of them (from the Turtle on Rainier to Cougar Rock Campground) before. If you take the FRS, make sure you have a pre-departure agreed-upon contingency plan if comm gets lost. Pick a couple of numbers for channels and codes that are easy to remember, and which order to tune them in. For instance, our TAC band ends in the decimal ".205" so our first choice for FRS comm is Channel 2, Code (subchannel) 05. Next choice is "911" (you can discern the significance of that), meaning Channel 9, Code 11. Use three digit numbers that are easy for anyone in your group to remember: month/day of brithdays, anniversaries, etc. You get the idea. Have fun on your trip!

I found it humorous that he employed a well-seasoned flavor of sarcasm, harkening back to the Cafe' Sensitivioso thread, in juxtaposition to your whinnying dissection of the varied nuances between "acsent" vs. "free ascent". That, followed by your proselitizing about Rudy attempting to turn his progeny into elitists. That's what I found funny. Get it? Got it? Good.

youngest ascending the GW Too funny!

All I can come up with is that they've all watched The Eiger Sanction one too many times.

I would have to agree.

I understand, Porter. I'm just playing Devil's Advocate witcha. After all, I have no soul, and therefore nothing to uncage.
