Check this out- guy survived an Avalanche FOUR HOURS buried. I've never heard of anyone lasting this long. Long enough for his wife to drive up to Stevens pass and tell the ski patrol where he was. I'm 100% sure they KNEW, not thought, but KNEW it was a body recovery situation. But there he was, still alive. It's perhaps a miracle, but more likely he was buried near the surface and there was enough air transport through the frozen snow that he didn't die of C02 poisoning. He reported creating an air pocket around his face, and his body temp dropped to 70, so he basically went in to hibernation. Still. ya gotta breathe occasionally, right? I think the key was he never gave up, wanted to survive, prayed, and his mind and body went into a "I will survive by hibernating" state. Fantastic. Or, it's a miracle. Good for him and his wife, anyway. Does anyone know, is this a record? 4 hours is INSANE -Friedrich

ooooh....would be cool to be able to sort search results by date. Right now if I do a user search, seems like it doesn't organize perfectly by date. Also was able to do a workaround for the TR only returns by author by searching for a username and then putting "TR" in the keyword box. Have I really put in 195 TRs over the years?!

I just need us to crowd source ideas for making this site better code wise or any way. Lets hear your ideas. A LOT more just became possible.

This is so great!!! Thanks @olyclimber for never giving up on the site. This should really revive our ability to mine the past for future inspiration....much appreciated!

I just used the search feature to find a JasonG TR I'd never seen for the Little Yoho Valley. It gets me excited for my trip next week!

Oh I quickly realized that buying the Pro version was the thing to do. im using Claude code, which is suited to my level…not an IDE. ive worked with some really smart people and the process it uses is uncannily similar. The actual coding part is more black box but when it troubleshoots it tells you what it’s checking and why. It took it like 8 iterations to get it right but it did. I thinks the one part I’m wondering about it how good can it get at actually enabling my vision of what I want. It may just come down to my ability to write prompt rather than Claude not being able to execute.

@JasonG I just wrote up an account of the first ascent: https://jimwalseth.substack.com/p/blind-date-in-the-bugaboos I used a photo or two from this post, thanks again for that @JeffreyW
