Quite a Backdrop Location: The Tressle, Deception Crags If only all climbing areas were this beautiful. Notice how clear it is, and remember that you might never again see it this clear in Western Washington. - 105 0572 IMG
A Little Change in Elevation Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Ready to climb that mountain? ...maybe next weekend. - 105 0571 IMG
Architect's Rally Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Although certainly not an architect, Abe rallies up the rock. - 105 0568 IMG
That's one Big Wall Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Abe leads Neverigine, which in this picture looks like a never-ending face of rock. - 105 0569 IMG
Neverigine Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Drew takes on Neverigine. I wonder what where the name Neverigine came from... probably some long-forgotten inside joke that we could never hope to understand. - 105 0567 IMG
Sharp, Pointy Rock Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Most people consider grabbing sharp objects bad, however climbers are truly a different breed. - 105 0566 IMG
Welcome to... Nevermind Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags - 105 0565 IMG
Yet Again, the Same Rambling Stream Location: Deception Crags This time nature poses for a picture. - 105 0564 IMG
Taking the High Road Location: Deception Crags Talk about a low-impact trail. - 105 0562 IMG
Looks Like We Have Company Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags The Blue Jay is probably wondering why we're having such a hard time getting to the top of the cliff. - 105 0558 IMG
No Running in the Halls! Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Abe obviously didn't heed the name of the climb, as he ran right up it. - 105 0557 IMG
Huh? Belaying? Someone's Climbing? Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags You mean he's supposed to be on belay? Don't worry he shouldn't fall. - 105 0556 IMG
Homo Erectus (the climber) Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Drew leads the first ascent of the day. - 105 0555 IMG
The Handy, not-quite-so-accurate Guidebook Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags It got us to the crags and helped us find the climbs we wanted, but the drawings were distorted (or maybe we were just distorted). (Check out the name of climb #1 on the left page. It cracks me up everytime I read it.) - 105 0554 IMG
Bright and Early Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Judging by the sun (and my watch) I'd say that we got here about 7. Yes, that's 7 AM. No wonder no one else is here yet. - 105 0553 IMG
Now that's a trail Location: Deception Crags Check out that tressle. I wonder if it's used for anything but getting to the climbs? - 105 0552 IMG
The Same Rambling Stream Location: Deception Crags However this time our fellow adventurer, Abe, poses for a shot. - 105 0551 IMG
A Rambling Stream Location: Deception Crags Bryan and Drew pose for a picture with quite a backdrop. - 105 0596 IMG
The chair of power Location: Bryan's Office Do you think I could get her to write some of my specs for me? - 105 0595 IMG
Buildings 40 and 41 Location: Microsoft Campus The close one is building 40. That's where I work! - 105 0598 IMG
More flora Location: Outside Bryan's Apt - 105 0594 IMG
Macro--ooh Location: Outside Bryan's Apt At the request of Julie on her mothers behalf, we have some flora. - 105 0593 IMG
There's a girl in Bryan's Apartment! Location: Bryan's Apartment Someone had better alert Julie - 106 0615 IMG
Chow time Location: Bryan's Apartment - 106 0614 IMG
Damn they look good Location: Bryan's Apartment The steaks turned out surprisingly well. - 106 0613 IMG
The cookbook man Location: Bryan's Apartment Since we have the best cooking book in the world it wasn't hard to figure out how to do baked potatoes in the microwave. - 106 0612 IMG
MMMMM steak Location: Bryan's Apartment We went to Fred Meyer's and got a George Foreman grill, as Bryan had a craving for steak he could not surpress. In theory, you just stick it in there and 4 mins later, all done. Bryan has seasoned up those steaks, now they're all ready to go - RaftingTrip3
Drew on Display Location: at Nooksack River The real question is, "Why does the bus have three license plates?" - RaftingTrip1
Bump, Set, Spike Location: the Nooksack River To kill some time before the rafting starts, the NT Advanced Programming Test group plays a little volleyball. (Can you tell which geek Drew is?) - RaftingTrip16
Raise that Morale! Location: the Seattle River Drew's group at Microsoft went whitewater rafting for a "Morale Event". (Of course it was all paid for by Uncle Bill.) The river looks pretty tame at this point, but during the rapids no one has a chance to stop paddling and take a picture.
