Great response, when all else fails and your brain isn't up to the
challenge, revert to obsceneties!

Ah, if you guys only knew what goes on behind the scenes.

I did have a chance to meet Jim Ellis in Pittsburgh before he died.
You are all here because of the first code he wrote.

The comp.* hierarchy remains good. You just have to know the right groups.

Rhonda Hauben's book documents some of this. Unfortunately, her son
offed himself. It is an under appreciated medium. Every knowledgeable
person from Bill Gates and Al Gore has witnessed parts of news groups.
An old boss gave a FBI spy an account. The spy's in prison for the rest
of his life.

Gone to OR for the weekend.
Headed to Spokane next weekend.

A fine piece of blabbing if that's what it is. Not a time to be
analytical but don't worry about the Split Pillar. We've got that
covered like a Seattleite on a latte, like a Marine on a hand grenade,
etc., quite a few other climbs, too.

im back. and it was good.

the nutshell beta? we climbed (hiked?) nevado de toluco (15k' and
change, to feel things out), ixta (over 17?) and orizaba (over 18?),
and spent another week cragging around central mexico. the glaciers,
as i had been warned, are melting away. id guess there is currently
about half the glacier travel compared to the beta in the 2001 (?)
recent secor guidebook to the mexican volcanoes. this made some things
easier and some things harder. like routefinding the glacier remnants
and polished basalt ribs below the orizaba glacier before dawn. i
gather that used to be a low-angle snow climb.

re: my earlier questions, id repeat the same setup i had this time. i
used the very light synthetic sportiva boots (silver color, light
insulation, dont know the name) and real steel crampons and real...

  What I talk about when I talk about climbing or skiing or eating donuts.         


Author: Al Black

I feel like Raoul Duke barfing out the side car of the hurtling toward
Vegas. That's what I feel like now that commited to a climbing or skiing
goal. Especially when its in the dead of winter.

Part of the problem is the "goal". I've done (of all kinds of climbs)
type of achieve a standard goal (e.g. climb 5.8 of all kinds), and I've
done the peak achievement kind of goal (e.g., run a 100 miler). The
results and lessons learned have been both hilarious and sad, adding
layers of self knowledge, self cynicism and a healthy sense hubris. The
thing is they don't really inspire this donut eater. I get cranked
about doing things that well, frankly, are retarded (i.e., traverse the
Torngat range). So yeah, I would say something like "climb Split
Pillar", which would be a way cool thing to do and something I'd like to
do, but its not enough. What feels "right" to me, generally is about as
pointless as it is imposable. And I know it.

Another part of the problem goals is the process. Not the part of
organizing the time, the partners, and the gear, although that's not a
strength for me easier. Its the fact that I like the process too...

Got the part about donuts, vaguely apprehend the part about people
using their life to amass a bunch of xs or ys or zs, distantly recall
good tracking snow, and sounds like someone likes their car too much.
