Happy Anniversary!! :) happy? :D

I understand that it is a 2-way street but I do agree with Dug for most of it. When I was at EMS they were in process of changing the return policy - not the guarantee, but the way of handling return items. At one point employees were told to be more discerning with the returns. If it is...

Attempted Diagonal twice and bailed twice - once from mosquitoes (seriously, it was bad. I counted 25 bites on one leg from shin-down) and we made it to the start of the ramp before calling it in. The other time we were underclothed and were getting hypothermic on the climb so we bailed from the...

Good thing it didn't have a taste for goat :D

I eat pastries and they work for me. Danishes are the best. If I eat too much protein and then start moving right away... well, things start moving right away. So I stay away from proteins for breakfast.

sardog, were you a member of BARK?

I said that as a joke and movie reference but it's not uncommon to see book deals on out of the ordinary outdoor events, especially including Everest (ie. Erik Weihenmayer's book). Throw in some disaster and it will sell even more (Into Thin Air). Inspirational talks, books, guiding, etc. More...

Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.

But your car didn't get time to acclimatize. Did it feel sluggish and get really bad gas mileage? You're lucky it didn't just pitch off the side of the road with fatigue!

We think alike, Leaf ;) Here is a picture of Granite with the avy: http://picasaweb.google.com/bergtrage/April2010#5459696097022118306

Yeah, he was real lucky. Helps that Granite is right next to the highway and cellphone towers.

True, but the greatest number of laypeople would be reached with Everest. Pick any 13 year old and spout out the names of the 7 summits, and of all the 8000m peaks and see which one he/she recognizes. I bet it would be an extremely high chance that the only peak recognized would be Everest. I'm...

I really like sardines, but it tends not to be something I seek out often. This is a sad day for the cannery workers who are now out of a job. For my own personal sake I hope the Vienna Sausage factory never sees the same fate! YUM!

My first reaction to this news was "finally" and "sweet". And then I clicked on the link and it changed to "Oh". Baxter SP moves at a different speed than the rest of the world. But at least it is a step ahead.

Lol, nice title :D Very nice photos of the falls!

That's awesome! And so cute - "shunshine" :)

Just like Zach Morris in the later episodes... or the entire cast of 90210, especially that woman in her 50s playing the geeky girl. I mean, c'mon, the public knows!

"The more audacious the record, the more attention it attracts and the more value it delivers to sponsors, which in turn makes the audacious record chase financially possible." "At least a dozen corporate sponsors—including Sole footbeds, Vasque boots, Jetboil stoves, and FRS energy drinks—are...

Plus, if you hike in the dark you might miss last call at the bar. Hiking during the day and starting as early as you can mitigates that risk.

What about Occasionally but without the stipulation of "short distances or on full-moon nights"? I only usually hike at night if I have to - expected long day, alpine start, late departure due to schedule. I'm not a fan of finishing in the dark if I can help it, especially being off trail in...
