Stupid human tricks...

ACR has a new PLB, MicroFix. Smaller & lighter than previous models.

Sarkens for sure. Lighter and more versatile than the Saberteeth.

Climb mountain...avoid mushrooms. Got it. Thanks E! Cheers. Jimbo

Hey all. I'll be working in Sitka, AK for three weeks, 3/11 - 4/1, and am looking for some recreation/must do suggestions. I'll only have weekends. So, is it worth bringing my splitboard, climbing gear, other? I won't have a lot of time or money for boat or plane rides, so any familiarity with the immediate surrounding area would be great. Thanks for any info. Cheers. Jimbo

Just looked at it, no problems. http://www.nwac.us/products/SABSEA

So, just curious... Did y'all climb it, or what? Cheers. Jimbo

Right on. Hope to meet some of y'all Seattle sprayers. Cheers. Jimbo edited to add my first !

Yo. I'm working in Seattle this week. Always down with drinking beer & spraying. When and where is the action? Any day except Friday works for me. Cheers. Jimbo

Hwy 20 would be great, but kind of a death trap, eh? My votes: Glacier Creek Rd. (Heliotrope Ridge) cause I live in the 'Ham. Cascade River Road (a lot farther than currently open) Chiwawa or Teanaway River Rds. Cheers. Jimbo

Sweet E! Gotta love Paradise Forks. Cheers Jimbo

Doh! I'm not at home looking at my library, and the brain cells are lacking. Croft's book is definately the best for Sierra alpine goodness. Thanks for the reminder Mike. Cheers Jimbo

Moyiner (sp?) guide to the High Sierra, and R.J. Secor's Peak's, Passes & High Routes are the closest you'll find to Becky. I like Chris Mac's SuperTaco books, but others find them to have to much hand holding beta. These cover Tahoe, Yose, High Sierra, etc. JTree = Vogel Cheers Jimbo

Stars or recommendations are great for a quick hit at a new area. Say you're hittin' the Leap for a day during your travels. I want to get the most quality in in a short amount of time. That being said, it's usually pretty easy to get some good info from other climbers at an area. Often better than the respective guide book. Cheers. Jimbo

It rained 4.5 inches yesterday at the ski area. Even with approaching cold temps, I bet it'll be pretty wet still. Have fun! Cheers. Jimbo

second one be Exasperator.

Thanks!

Zodiac or Mescalito. Climb outside of the Lower 48.

So I don't have the WA Ice book (will pick up soon), and am wondering where Strobach is located. Even a point to where FS1202 is would be great. cheers. Jimbo

Lovers Leap & Tuolumne for a month with Frosty the Tradman. Every route for a month, a classic! On the drive back to B'ham we stopped a Castle Crags...to much smoke. Stopped at Smith Rocks...to much rain. Ended up the road trip with the Dreamer! Pure stoke. Cheers. Jimbo

Definately have noticed the signal loss at the Mt. Baker Ski area lately. Still works on top of Herman. Jimbo

Just to set the record straight, I didn't have to schwack. It was the black flies of August that almost killed me. I swear there were hundreds on me at any one time. Each swat killed 10 or more. As Frosty states, spring would be better. Jimbo

Been there. It's not great from what I've seen so far, but I still think there may be potential. Cheers Jimbo

Can't wait to hear how it goes. Frosty & I certainly had an adventure.

Come on Eric. It's the finesse, mental torture, and running downhill when you fall. Not all that macho thuggery of sprot climbing. Kinda like the alpine choss you've become accustomed to. Cheers. Jimbo
