Fill glass half full with egg nog Open rum bottle. Sample rum to ensure quality Fill glass rest of way up with Rum If you do it right, rum will floaton top of eggnog and will not mix Drink rum Repeat Thisway you never have to drink eggnog anyways. Who the hell mixes egg with milk for a drink anyways? Its like drinking French Toast batter!!! NB for Americans: Egg nog in French is "Lait du poulet", or Milk of the Chicken

Wow it took you 20 minutes to make that one? Im impressed

Teacup Handle alert!

Its what I wear with everything, approach shoes up to plastics. Didnt help much with Scarpas when they were breaking in though. i had to get em wet to break em in and stop the blistering.

I like this photo of Mtn Phil's too. This thing looks way cooler in fall than in spring when we were there. My shot of it makes it look sucky. Maybe it is sucky and Phil photoshopped some Rockies ice onto the picture. Huh phil?

Hint: 1) Mountain Index 2) Gimli 3) Gimli From SW.

I read an expose in the CAJ that said that Dora Keen didnt really climb Mt Blackburn...?

Well if you went to www.bivouac.com and looked up Mt Gimli it might answer your question also could you recommend the photo while you are there if you like it?

I wear a Thorlo fitted liner with an "Ice Sock" (wool polypro spandex blend) from MEC ( I forget who makes it) over top. The theory I heard about liners is that the friction is dissipated between sock and liner doesnt go to your foot hence blisters you less. Many of the times I have been blistered is when wearing a single sock. Thats why I dont trust the Smartwool. Also a liner should be hydrophilic inside & phobic outside thus transferring and transporting moisture from the foot to the outer sock hence keeping the foot nice and dry. with only a single sock like Smartwool, wouldnt your foot be wetter?

In BC

France has nukes. weapons of mass destruction. Invade em!

Looks like the North Pole is made of Gneiss.

I would rather date a strong girl of whatever weight so she could be the ropegun on scary pitches and carry the heavy pack.

Mayb Lago Wernstedt was missing his wife one day and spent some time "worshipping the kangaroo".

He could take up bestiality and S&M too - or would that be flogging a dead horse?

The actual John Baldwin quote, according to the VOC Journal c. 1976, is "The only way to escape the whiteout is to BE the whiteout". I misremembered it as avalanche and thought he was talking about straightlining it downhill.

Kangaroo Temple is my favorite.

Snafflehound Spire, Bugaboos Spuzzum Ymir Youbou The Nipple Big Dog Mountain, Big Sheep Mountain Mt. Sheba formerly known as Sheba's Paps Cumsack Mountain Kumkan mountain Kumsheen Creek Boofus Mtn, Newfoundland Dildo, Newfoundland (and its on Conception Bay, not far from Placentia)

Yeah forget the maps Lyle, is there any ICE yet?

It would be good to teach your kids some dirtbags skillz at a young age, you and Jk should do it.

How many posts should you make before you can smoke in Muir Hut.

Buy an overbag if you waant your bag warmer. all the condensation will occur in the overnbag so get a syntho one and it willkeep your down bag dry. The warmer bivi bag thing is cause it blocks heat loss from advection. Its warmer compared to sleeping in the open, i guess, IE its warmer than sleeping without a bivi bag. But its not any warmer than being in a tent, and I wouldnt say it really adds any +5-10 degrees to your bag. If a bag is too cold it will be too cold even with a bivy bag over top.

The 1968 description is verbatim copy from Leif Patterson I think. The Smaill guide is funnier though.
