Thank dog Pete divorced that little red-headed troll! Couldn't stand her much meseff. She seemed to think that climbing experience was passed by osmosis by being married to Pete... PS: Did I make an ass of myself to you, too, back then Dan??

Damn, that was some pretty bulletproof ice from 1:45 to 2:05, eh?

Whereabouts in OhiO do you live, CW? When I used to climb at the NRG, we'd see folks coming in from OhiO all the time. Musta been an easy drive for them, or maybe they were just super-stoked to be climbing at such a great place as the New.

You don't need a second tool for Kautz in May, and I've done FF and Fuhrer's Thumb with only an ice axe and crampons, too. Not sure where you're coming up with the second tool line of thought... But like you said, it's your comfort level, and it's your trip. Be prepared, have fun, and watch the weather.

Didja get any pics?

Beautiful!

That's the third TR of yours I've read tonight, Caleb, and I gotta say, I like the style of your prose. Nice climbs, too!

I was going to suggest my go-to route, Kautz, if you were looking for a little less bovine traffic, but it sounds like you're set on heading to Muir. But in case you were interested, the Kautz's crevasse risk is minimal in my mind. There's some as you cross the Nisqually, but then it's clear sailing until you top out on the upper Kautz Glacier. Then you gotta start watching out again as you move toward Columbia Crest. BTW, there's no hut over that-a-way...

You two crack me up. You're really enjoying this e-bullshit and princely proclamations, arn'cha? I so love my new autosig. BTW, your proposal sounds good to me, John, and Gene's suggestion of the back-up on the brake line is sound logic, too. But by royal proclamation of Marmot Prince. I am an e-mountaineer and I don't know shit.

It may be true that I've climbed a fair piece, but by Marmot Prince's royal proclamation, I still don't know shit about it. I especially savored the delicious irony that I pointed out in my post on page 2 of this thread (6th post down from top of page). Take note of the chronology I included in the "Originally Posted By" boxes of that post. I love that, ya know. Pointing out when a douchebag steps in his own pile of shit.

By royal proclamation of Marmot Prince, I am an e-mountaineer and I don't know shit, but I do know that that's fuq'n funny, I don't care who y'are.

Gawd, I love this place...

Was wondering when you were gonna see that. You're welcome.

I believe it is "God watches over fools and little children."

quite possibly his best role (either that or chet from wierd science) What about Pvt. Hudson from Aliens? That role was priceless!

Proper grammar and spelling would be courts-martial. Just sayin'... Gawd, you're bored. Yes, yes I am...

Yes, yes, yes, I believe we've all heard that joke... God knows I have.Oh, does she now?

Looks like you got your wish, Ben. I'd say a polite "thank you" to Kurt (Feck) is in order. Enjoy!

You've put it in the right place, Ben, but exactly which mod did you email? There are three mods on the Counseling Corner forum (JayB, minx, and OW) and all three of them have posted elsewhere on the board within the past 36 hours or less, so they should be seeing your email soon.

I have been referred to as an uncivil civil engineer. And I thought that was certainly uncivilized of them to say so...

Yes, yes, yes, I believe we've all heard that joke...

OK, I can play it now. Marc, thanks for that find, and yes, she is sexy. Verrrrrrry sexy... SteveTT, thanks for the tip. I was clicking the "Vimeo Plus" link before. I don't know WTF I was thinking...

Hmmph! I'm taking my slide rule and going home...

I'm an e-mountaineer and I was about to chime in to point that out, but then I remembered that by royal proclamation of Marmot Prince, I don't know shit.
