What did you think all that white stuff was on the top of mountains? Frosting?Toddowen wrote:
When I first arrived in SoCal, I hiked up Mt. Wilson from Chantry Flat. I knew that a storm was supposed to arrive that night, but I had no idea that it could actually snow on top of that mountain.
I repeat....I had NO idea.
Oyeh. There's a reason summit windows are in the summer.Dinsdale wrote:But I can't think of one of them who ever entertained the idea of going bumping around the top of Hood in winter. Just isn't done.
"Mountains," in the generic. Those tall rocky things with the white stuff on top.Not much of that on Mt. Wilson at any time of year.
It's a little-known fact that california and Texas pay the U&Lers to not erect signs. Something about "purifying the gene pool" or something.Uncle Fester wrote: Maybe each mountain should have a talking moose out front holding a big sign that explains all the dangers.
Huh?Uncle Fester wrote:From what little I know about Mt. Hood, the crevasses are dangerous enough in good weather to make any dilettante think twice about wandering around without a guide or local.
wtf is that? some sore of measurement for acceleration. Real slow acceleration at that. I think my grandpa's vw rabbit diesel had an acceleration rate somewhere around that.Uncle Fester wrote:.... 25 mph hour .....
Kelly James, who I think is the goofiest-looking of the bunch, had a pretty attractive wife. I know, rules and all...looked for a pic, but couldn't find one. She was all over the news the past few days.Dinsdale wrote:In other U&L news --

Couldn't see that here in the lowlands, since it was foggy this morning, but cool vid.
Now, if they were going to Darwin it up, why couldn't the Texicles have just hiked up Helens, and said some mumbo-jumbo prayer shit, while throwing themselves into the crater to appease the volcano gods?
Because with the mullets they were sporting, you can't tell me at least one of those tards wasn't a virgin.

I believe that would be spelunking, not mountaineering. With Patsy Stone you could do both.mvscal wrote:

Besides the missing climbers and the James Kim aftermath, she was the next-hottest topic of water cooler discussion 'round these parts -- what a stupid, smarmy, bible-thumping bitch she was. People with no mountaineering skills were volunteering to help so as to expidite the rescue effort, and get that dumb bitch off our TVs and out of our state.OCmike wrote:She was all over the news the past few days.
Maybe the "them" she was referring to were the dollar bills from the life insurance policy. "We don't need to send out rescue crews, because God will deliver the checks from the life insurance company safely" or something. I don't know.Dinsdale wrote: When she broke off with what amounted to "we don't even need to send out rescue crews, because Gos will deliver them home safely" (not her exact words, but sure how it came across), she pretty much pissed off everyone around here whose resources were being spent to look for the tards.

Pity you could not have just jumped off said cliff and saved all the suicide drama for yo mama.Toddowen wrote: There are some pretty good cliffs on the trail up. Several of them appeared to be over a 100 foot drop from what I remember and I felt fortunate that the twilight hadn't completely faded away.
Jeezes crist....12 miles and 4000 feet in less than 6 hours...that's about a 2 mile's per hour and less than 1000 vertical feet an hour....my fucking grandmother could do that and she's been dead for 40 years. Stopped and jerked off too much ??There was also a ranger at the summit who was a bit peeved when I arrived exuasted at the observatory. I told him I'd left Chantry Flat around 11:00 am and he said that it was no wonder that I was so spent physically. I think it's about a 12 mile hike and around a 4,000 foot climb in elevation, which I did in less than six hours.
Toddowen wrote:You're in Oregon, correct? Then you should be well aware that 12 miles of distance and 4000 feet of incline isn't just a stroll for granny through the rose garden.

Yeah.. happens to me all the time... just get caught up in the "beauty" of the landscape, that I just fucking completely forget where I am at and what I am doing.Toddowen wrote:

But were I was at was pretty remote from civilization and I could have been just as lost as these hikers.
Smart move. Marcy ain't nothing to fuck with. Plenty of people have died on that mountain because they didn't do what you did. Mix in the possibility of an avalanche with all that snow and subzero weather and you have a perfect recipe for a Chuck Darwin Stew.smackaholic wrote:Climbing mountains is a fukking blast. Doing it in the winter is even better. Just mix in a fukking weather report and very clear instructions of where you are going and when you will be back if you are tackling something as challenging as hood in the winter.
Can somebody enlighten me on what sort of weather they had during their first days on the hill? At the first sign of shit weather they should have done like melo after a sucker punch and ran like hell AWAY from the danger. I have been above tree line in nasty shit in the middle of nowhere within a few hundred feet of the summit on Mt Marcy in the adirondacks. It ain't no Mt hood, but, it's still nasty enough that you don't wanna spend a night on it in a storm. We were like, damn, all this effort and we ain't gonna make the summit? So fukking what, it was white out conditions anyhow. We turned around and slid our asses back down to our leantoo and cozy warm sleeping bags. Fukk ice caves. I've heard they are actually kinda nice for sleeping in. Maybe someday I will try it......In the snow bank in my front yard, 50 ft from warmth.
nahhhh, he's OK. Last I checked chuckie was still on a roll in the U&L.

Yes.. comparing yourself to those frozen Dilly bars on Mt Hood is a "real" valid comparision.
1. Your both stupid as hell thinking you could get over on Mother Nature.
2. Given that you compare your exploits to those mountaineers, you likely could get lost if you stepped off the trail to take a
piss.
3. There is a "real" comparision to a 500 foot hill in a temperate climate to an 11,000 foot mountain in a huge mountian range.
Drawing the comparision that way, pretty much confirms you are one of the dumbest fucks to walk the earth. Best be looking over your shoulder, CD got to be reallll close.
Still a front page story a week later. 70 replies in here. Suck it. Never underestimate people's fascination with stories involving mother nature getting over on the unfortunate and/or the stupid. It touches our sensitivity to , and fear of, the fact that "we" as a species are still not completely in control.Mikey wrote:And the message from T1B is...

The only way you would be looking over my shoulder would be because your faggot ass was trying to go homo on me, and that ain't going to happen.Toddowen wrote:You should hope that I'm looking over my shoulder.

MOUNT HOOD, Ore. - The search will begin again for two climbers who died on Mount Hood.
In December, 38-year-old Kelley James, 37-year-old Brian Hall and 36-year-old Nikko Cooke died after becoming stranded on the mountain when the weather turned.
The severe conditions hampered the search. Crews eventually found James' body in a snow cave, but Hall and Cooke have not been found.
Hood River Sheriff Joe Wampler said his department is preparing to mount a massive search in July, when the winter snow pack has decreased. They will concentrate around the 8,500-foot level on the Newton-Clark and Elliott glaciers. Crews will also look off the mountain in case the men fell or made it down into the forest.
If that fails, more searching is planned for August when snow levels are down to glacial ice.
There's still glacial ice in places? I thought global warming already took care of all of that. I may need to speak with Al Gore about this.If that fails, more searching is planned for August when snow levels are down to glacial ice.

I hate to break it to you, but there's little doubt that glacial ice on the planet is receding. Actually, there's no debate on that topic whatsoever, except perhaps via super-secret BOSE radio communiques from Wolfman and Paul Harvey.Money Shot wrote:There's still glacial ice in places?
