i don't think i'll be in town early enough friday. i could possibly make saturday morning - assuming the weather holds out ...

had a cool thundershower up here in whis last night. always nice to see real rain instead of that seattle drizzle. i'll be in squish regardless ...

yeah, but is the pillar okay?

i use a stuffsack for my thermarest. i like it that way.

what do you want to do at murrin?

that's exactly what i thought! nice little story there ...

some ass-related graemlins:

what a place to disappear.

hey, that's something i've been wondering about. i have a pair of the top machines (leashless) but i want to now add a pair of "more traditional" alpine tools to the mix - not that i want leashed tools , but i want tools with plunge-able shafts. (i haven't had any problems with the finger trigger but then again i don't do much wi6 or above .. yet. ) anyway, my point is i really like the alp wings, but since the geometry is different from my top machines is that going to make it more difficult to switch between two sets of tools during the season? just curious about other people's experiences ... (what would be cool is if the tech wing came with a detachable pommel that could be interchanged with a totally smooth-plunging piece.)

mmm ... yum!

high-class news reporting there.

sweet tr.

i never liked the approach for the squaw routes i've done either!

direct link for what intended purpose are you curious?

sweet tr, dru! didn't realize you were gonna be out there. missed you at white saddle by half a day! we flew out from the waddington saturday noonish. love your base camp pic!

go get 'em boulder boy!

you can get a few sorts of those noodles at most big supermarket grocery stores. just look in the "oriental" section.

i use the easy daisies a lot. i've never had them slip. ever. you are quite possibly using them wrong. your weight shouldn't matter. i've showed them to other people and watched them attach the 'biner incorrectly as well - like what mtngrrrl was describing. (see here: http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/easydaisies.htm.)

word of caution: don't trust that bastard! (swaterfall, i'm back in civilization - albeit reluctlantly ... let's hit up some granite soon!)

what i saw was lame. no cliffhanger there.

sport climbing? pfft.

yeah; the rain never broke cloud here. stupid forecasters.

haven't been spending as much time on the snow as i'd like. last week it was kinda icy in the early hours turning to nice corn later on on certain aspects. typical spring skiing i guess.

look again, bug. i'm just a few hours north of you. and really, i could sue your ass from just about anywhere. just kidding ...

ah, sweet - thanks!
