What grade do the uper pitches typically go at when they are "in"?

Ski Rack is sold. Jacket and ice tool still available.

Gene is on the right track. What does your current training program consist of? My knees were achy yesterday, I blame the weather.

This is an all too common and perplexing attitude. The only cyclists I've encountered who probably don't pay more than their fair share of taxes are the dorks riding on the sidewalks. Don't tax me just because I don't look good in spandex.

This makes a lot of sense to me considering recent experiences at various financial institutioins. Enjoy!

bump for new jacket

Do NOT do this. You will immediately be recognized as a weakling by other riders. Or worse yet, a road weenie. Does this mean I shoud get some real riding shorts and stop wearing my wife's spanks?

I did get the 2nd version of the Candy and am happy after putting on about 500 miles. Only fell over twice the first two weeks for forgetting to unclip. Chilly ride this morning. Might have to pick up some shoe covers things.

I would love to get rid of this stuff, make me an offer! Thule Ski rack - $45 OBO Fits most vehicles with standard rails, adjusts from 32" to 46" wide, have key for locks.

Why don't you come skin/ski with me this winter and find out?

yup It does seem like the dude in the video has uncommonly good dexterity and balance.

This looks a little easier than the methods I've incorporated. You can skip the first 1:00 (not sure how to imbed the video)

What you would do is remove the one or two studs directly in front of the panel and then double up the studs adjacent to the new opening. Then put in doubled horizontal studs about 6' up the wall bridging the doubled vertical studs to add structural integrity. Cut the plywood panel to span the opening (should be 48" wide assuming you have framed on 16" centers and removed only the two studs directly in front of the panel. The panel will be easily removable if you use screws (with washers) to attach it to the studs. As an alternative to DPS’s suggestion, you might consider just creating an alcove (cave?) that allows access and visibility to your breaker panel. It would suck for something to happen at your home if you’re not there and whoever needs to cut power to a circuit not be able to locate your panel. Just my .02 cents.

And a clay pigeon thrower?

It's my understanding that trundling is illegal in Montana now.

I don't think anyone who's worked with Mr. Welton has too much difficulty picturing this interaction.

Set of 6 screws in good shape for $65 obo - These may not be appropriate for leading ice climbs. I've used them for "just in case" ski mountianeering and glacier climbs, or bail anchors. Super lightweight. Black Diamond Black Prophet straight shaft hammer for $45 obo

All your permits are belong to us!

Thanks -

That's a total of 7,000'. Any estimates for mileage?

Sounds like a long car to car climb. Any time estimates for a fairly fit desk jockey?

A lot of people go to Muir without an ice axe but, considering how hard the Muir Snowfield will probably be, if you're not confident self arresting with your poles, you should take an axe. Consider it training weight and good to have along if you end up needing it.

@Ryan Canfield: We did not ski but did keep a steady pace. 10 hours felt pretty comfortable, not sore at all, except my sunburned scalp. @Juan: bear tracks indeed, I'm going to find you some pictures of a grizzly to load on your phone for next time.
