So, who got the girl? ;)

I guess that's a good question for Doug Hansen... and I guess the answer was yes back in 1996.

Whoa! Didn't they make that into a movie? ;)

Unless I have things falling on my head or I am doing an activity of high speed (bike or ski) then no. Hiking around? If you slip you'd probably break a wrist or your clavicle first trying to stop a fall before you hit your head - although you could pass out while taking a tough dump and hit...

Wow, dude is very lucky! That terrain up there is pretty rocky - maybe it helped him that the West side has gotten some recent unusual snow loading? Anyway, glad he's all right and nice work SAR!

Good point. I remember reading about a wilderness survival course where the "final" was being dropped off in the middle of Winter in Montana with a layer of clothes and a knife and expected to survive for days. I doubt any of us on this site will find ourselves in that situation. I think one of...

Maybe you could hitch a ride with Bear Grylls ;)

That's right. I gotta keep working on Rainier's nordwand trifecta. I got one down.

Nice work Court! Sounds like you're more than ready to come over and climb Lib Ridge this Spring ;)

A++++!!! No words, just amazement over here! Have a blast on the trail!

Chip, just saw... Wow, happy birthday!!!!! Enjoy the day with the family!!

That's a good point. Yeah, if someone was paying for me to go I'd be all for it, but just thinking about how much more climbing I'd get to do with a pure 60 grand handed to me - I'd be able to visit so many more climbing venues, afford many trips to Alaska, Patagonia, Canada, the Alps, to name a...

If it's all paid for and I had the time I wouldn't see why not. But generally as a mountain Everest doesn't really draw me in. I prefer more technical routes and a little less crowding. Although it would be nice to do it since I could then have a response for every layperson who at any mention...

You know it! Thanks for the green. ;)

Cool, Dr. D! I have a Geologist friend in the Western Seattle campus in Bellingham who does research on Baker all the time. Maybe I'll see ya when you get out here!

Please now, Stinky, this is a family forum!

Nice work folks! Way not to be lazy and just do 2 gullies or something lame like that

I have back problems that get exacerbated by compression of my spine (bulged disc that presses on nerves and voila, tingling all the way down the right leg). For me it's less important how the pack holds it's weight, but how well it sits on my hips. For my case, as long as I can keep 90%+ of the...

wtfbbqomg Geezum, Stinky.
