Note use of puffy jacket to increase body width for easier squirming in chimney.

TV Nation was the funniest show on TV. Especially where they bribed a congressman to get a day declared TV Nation Day!

What is a "slo hike"? A spelling mistake or a new extreme sport??

Fern soloing in wool mittens on the initial cracks.

My booty all season long is one ice screw and a couple of slings. I have had 2 backpacks and probably about $1500 worth of gear stolen, in 2 1/2 months. So Im in booty debt big time I guess.

Here is a photo from Truax. Plutus at left, Crazy at right. Plutocrat is the thin diagonal couloir on Plutus. North glacier descent is left of Plutocrat. Paymaster is the curving couloir line on Crazy. We descended right hand skyline, easy walkoff. [ 10-28-2002, 10:50 AM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Climbed Mt PageTop

Don Serl and Steve Harng and I went back up to Bralorne and climbed the north face of Crazy Mountain. Great couloir route, AD+ or D-, 400m, snow to 65 degrees, ice to 45-50. Harder and funner than "Plutocrat". We called it "Paymaster". Left West Van 6:30 AM. started hiking c. 11:00 AM. Found a funky old miners shack. Saw Started climbing c. 2:00 PM. Summited c. 4:45 PM. Back to the car 9:00 PM. There was a cairn on top with ascent records dating back to 1954. Saw Steve Smaridge and Trevor Petersons names in there from 1993 as most recent entry. RIP Steve and Shreddie. Visited MEC on Sunday. Parked car near the park on 8th. Car broken into, window smashed, backpack containing camera, film, Goretex jacket prototype, pants, M10 crampons, new Mix Master gloves etc stolen

overhanging...bolts necessary.. sounds like M7

his "free" ascent was probably protected with a jumar on a TR or other questionable practice (see Child profile in Mixed Emotions book)
