Thanks to the both of you
Though this sounds like... well... a noob trying to convince others that it his way of thinking is correct, I do not have a babyface

Pictures of me are always very bad, I've got a picture of myself, where people estimate I'm 18 years old, while I was 15 at the time it was taken. This picture was taken by a professional photographer *I did not pay him, so no strange thoughts *. Maybe that's why i look younger, and maybe I had a good night sleep. Who knows. I'm not taking other pictures of myself, so this is what you'll have to do it with.

We were merely hypothesizing. If you say it was a lucky one time shot, we'll believe you.

[Mathijs]

Or will we?

[Puppeteer]

Lucky shots happen once in a while. They're usually the ones we only post here Like mine, for instance.
A professional photographer? Nice...

Yours truly, summit of Mt. Adams in Washington State, with Mt. Reiner in the background, of earlier today. Mt. Adams is approximately 12,000 feet above sea level, making it the highest I have ever climbed (soon to be far exceeded in August when I go climbing in Peru). However, it's basically just a ridiculously long, steep slog up the mountain without any technical climbing. If I look unhappy, it's just the combination of only three hours of sleep last night, dehydration, and going from sea level (where I live) to 12,000 feet in fifteen hours.



The mountain from farther away:

Sweet view!

[Bart]

Did you climb up the steep part or the flatty part?

*sigh* I have better photos of myself on my camera, but until I can upload them this will have to do.



Me, in a hotel room, studying French.

@ 2playgames:

We ascended the most popular route, which is on the right side of the photo, along that ridge all the way to Piker's Peak (the right-most peak), then dropped down into that saddle, and climbed up to the summit. That route has no slopes over 45 degrees or so; it's longer but you don't need to bring your helmet, ropes, or ice axe. Mt. Adams is higher than Mt. Shuksan, which I climbed a few weeks ago, but far less technical. On Shuksan, you rope up as you cross the glaciers because of crevasses, use your axe a fair amount, and rock climb to the summit.

IRS: You need more sun. Incidentally, why are you learning French? Nobody really speaks French, except the French, and who wants to go to France? You're pretty close to the Johnny Cash look with all the black you're wearing.

Indeed, why French? Spanish would be far more helpful, and Italian is so close to Spanish that you can carry on a conversation with a Spanish dude with it. (very true)

Or Chinese. That's useful too.

Anyways, you look different than what I imagined you, but I think I like your real self better anyways.

[Florisz]

Yep. Different then I imagined you But...That kinda always happens here

[Neth]

You look different. Kinda too
I would put up a picture but I look a lot younger than most of you guys.
Just think I look like my avatar That would work

[Florisz]

Not for me

[Puppeteer]

Narcu that's no excuse, stop chickening out.
IRS you look angry. And ignore the others, French is a great language to learn.
Rafv get your haircut, you hypocritical hippy Jk

[Florisz]

I might post a picture of last summer...Might... You know, could > may > might

[Bart]

Learning French is fine, but why in a hotel room?

[Mathijs]

Because the FBI doesn't take kindly to French students...

[Bart]

Then he would have a motel room

[{IRS}Athos]

Ha, you guys make me chuckle.

Like I said, I have much better pictures on my camera... but where is that cord?

[Florisz]

Where you left it the last time you used it
