Quote of the day:

“As in any alpine region, the weather is changeable, protection questionable, route-finding bewildering, rockfall frequent and descents tedious. In short, it's everything you could ever ask for. ”
-- Canadian Alpine Journal

Joke of the day:

A climber received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. The climber tried to change the bird's attitude by saying only polite words, playing soft music and doing anything possible to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary. Finally, the climber was fed up and yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. The climber shook the parrot, and the parrot got angrier and angrier and ruder and ruder. In desperation, the climber grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, the climber opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out into the climber's arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." The climber was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As the climber was about to ask the parrot why he had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke up very softly and said, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
