Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Why does the weather suck so bad up here? I mean, giving piggyback rides and going sailing is nice, but I came here to climb goddamnit! Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Juneau forecast vs. Leavenworth forecast I think I'd rather be bouldering in Leavenworth Quote
Squid Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Weather days are great for learning new skills and hobbies. Canasta, anyone? Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 I'm learning how to spray on cc.com from a library rather than the privacy of my own home. Quote
Squid Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Do you have to muffle your derisive chuckles, or are all the library inhibitants too busy chortling to themselves to notice you? Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 The library "inhibitants" keep giving me the evil eye when I yell out, "STEAKSAUCE!!!" Maybe I'll go look up "steaksauce" in the card catalog. Quote
Ducknut Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 there is always salmon fishing....hmm I love Alaska salmon fishing, especially the silver runs in August Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Jeeeezus ya'll spray a lot. Is there any way we could get a weekly "Spray Summary" or something like that? Quote
ken4ord Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Why does the weather suck so bad up here? I mean, giving piggyback rides and going sailing is nice, but I came here to climb goddamnit! Damn dood stop your whinning about the weather at least you are not at work on a beautiful day with a bum ankle. Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Oh Mendenhall, My Mendenhall, Wherefore art thou, my Mendenhall? To rain, and then to rain, That is the forecast. Whether tis nobler, to go home to Seattle Or stay in Juneau and Spray? Quote
Dru Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Dude hook up with Strickland and smoke some kush. Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 Dat dude lives in FARbanks... too FAR away. Quote
E-rock Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Do you have to muffle your derisive chuckles, or are all the library inhibitants too busy chortling to themselves to notice you? This is the best cc.com post in months! Quote

Alpinfox Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 Alaska (weather) is still SUCK! Isn't this supposed to be the land of the midnight SUN!?!?? It's not all bad though... went kayaking around the snout of the Mendenhall Glacier today. Iceburgs. Coolness. Thank you for allow soggy American to post. Quote
murraysovereign Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Sounds like you and Will need to get together - between your rain, and his forest fires, you'd kinda average out to something like "cloudy and warm". Quote
EWolfe Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Go drinking at the Alaskan! Hike the Mendenhall lake trail Visit the hanging gardens Drive out to eagle beach do the sportclimbs at Fritz Cove Road Play pool at the hangar Have a good dinner at the Baranoff. End up at the Alaskan 'til all hours Quote
EWolfe Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Oh, and go to the climbing gym at U of A, They hired me as a consultant for that job, but I can't be responsible for the results Quote
Alpinfox Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks E! We did some buildering on the OUTSIDE of the UAS sports building yesterday, maybe we'll have to try the INSIDE next. Alaska Brewing Company Quote
EWolfe Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 There's also ice bouldering on the Mendenhall glacier, if ya take the north road... And let's not forget the wonderful sunset hikes at the end of douglas road! Quote
Alpinfox Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 "sea" any "otter"s up there? We have seen some Dall and Harbor Porpoises, but no otters. I thought we otter have seen some by now. More bald eagles than you can shake a sockeye at. Yesterday we kayaked over to the glacier and bouldered around a bit. My aluminum pons did all right on the seracs. Rain. Tourists. Fog. Blue-hairs. Drizzle. "Newly-weds and Nearly-deads". Clouds. Parts of Clouds. Tourons. Fog. Liquid Sunshine. Showers. Rubber boots aka "Sitka Slippers". "Marine Air". Quote
