well, they're from a year ago, but thanks! that is such a beautiful place. i only skied when i went, but i'd definitely like to go back and do some climbing some time. sounds like you guys had an adventure!
the only time i do that is if i'm using the pick for balance -- like on a steeper slope or next to a snow ledge of some sort. while walking i carry it adze-forward.
that's about it. there's a reason most people around here don't have a/c - 'cause we don't generally need it except for maybe a handful of days every summer. this summer has sure seemed like it's had many more "hot" days than is typical.
hey now. i work a regular full-time job where i stare at spreadsheets all day. seeing cool pics from fun things people do really helps relieve some of the eyestrain ...
my bf has that book. i guess it's on that list of 100 best adventure books or something ... and it's about flying. pretty good read. i recently read "one flew over the cuckoos nest" and "to kill a mockingbird" - trying to catch up on some of the classics most americans read in high school. started "electric kool aid acid test" but haven't gotten very far as i don't find it a very compelling read. the book i'm supposed to be reading is "risk financing" ... yuck!
drivers around here freak out every time the weather changes - doesn't matter if it's from rain to sun or sun to rain. i don't get it.
loving this cool weather for a change, though.
i don't think they claim to offer a totally comprehensive report. they say on their site "While we'll never know everything about a particular car," and they have a link on their "about" page that lists some of their sources - auto auctions and some state's police departments and whatnot.
