aren't you tired of Meg Ryan by now? I'd pee in her butt.

Should have left them a brown slug for a present

I would if someone got on my nerves. I've seen 4 movies in a theatre in the last 5 years.

Think I have to ask permission to bivy near your tent in a free, public land camping spot - FUCK OFF! You know who you are. The free weed was accepted as an apology but I still think you're a twit. For those that don't mind the party and shit

Echo \ ditto

So I'm a geek. I don't see the world the same way others do. Is that bad? I dont exist to explain why what and where. Seek counseling elsewhere.

Or maybe in Louisiana where the French were already inhabiting Catturdseat, we've met and I thought you were a geek then. I still do too.

People like you make this place boring

There is and always will be only one "Guzzler". Whatever Ron.

Normal..

I'm not a tough partner. But I can vouch for Wayne as a cool dude with ambition that will far exceed mine and that he is easy to get along with. I'd take em up on it if I felt I could keep up but reality is I probably cant at the moment. Good luck Wayne Guzzler Jr.

Snow starts around 6000 feet but it's prett hit and miss until you get to just below the Lighthouse Tower. Tamarack Meadows is nice. Lots of sub alpine scrambling\rock climbing exists. Black Pyramid looks better in person. Water source all the way in there and only need one water bottle to Tamarack Meadows. The so called 5th class climbing rumored to get into the canyon is false. If one stays left of the waterfall a short 100 foot 3rd-4th class scramble on granite is done. Some mountain goats looked funny. The bordeaux wine and cheap whiskey and bud were good. Kinda cold for this time of year with some snow. Looks like most of the weather was hovering in Colchuck and Stuart vicinity.

Nothing is waterproof for long. Nothing is breathable but skin and lungs.

That's a long ways. I'm sure how someone else would approach that traverse but mine would be by car. Climb Eldo- drive over then climb Buckner. If you really wanted to walk around the north sides of Torment and Forbidden it might work.... Never done it.... I prefer the car transfer. If your looking for long snow traverse look at doing something on the Eldo - Insipration- McAllister Icecap instead. The NE Face of Eldo would be a worthy day climb. I wouldnt bivy if I just wanted to snag that route but if I did, I would just bivy before the gully drop to Roush Creek Drainage. That would cut down carrying your gear up high and make you move faster with lighter packs up to the objective......

I'll be waiting for the ANAM report. Looks like pain. Gimp

A forbidden...snowking traverse sounds like a long day. It sure does. But if your implying that's what I wrote then you can't read

Hit garage sale and buy used ski poles for 2.99$ until bd gets back with you.

The comments about skinny feet in Makalus appears to have some truth. I have narrow feet and like the makalus. The downside is they take forever to break in. On the other side though- once they do break in it's like wearing a sneaker. The boots don't suck themselves - My guess is that you just bought the wrong boot. I've had mine since 97 and they are still holding up fine. However there are other boots out there that are worth looking at. But since I dont need any I aint lookin ;-) so I can't offer any advice as to what you might try instead. All makalus don't suck. You just haven't broke them in or didn't get the right boot for your foot is more likely. Of course there are more specifically designed boots like trango ice and shit but that's another subject.

I think so.

Good for him. I'd rather bivy 15 times and squat my fat ass and take pictures. He must be fit. He must have also specifically trained for it. NO bad comments intended. Is this about the evolution as man being a superhuman being? Haha. For real though- Good for Chad. I specifically train for beer guzzling and invite others to a sober to drunk challenge. If you can guzzle more beer than me before passing out then I buy you an extra 6 pack. Starting sober is only an option. How about that for an olympic sport

I laugh at the breathable comments. I wash mine with any detergent that is closest. I've had my jacket for over 9 years and the best thing I like to use is the spray on shit.

my bud climbs anything he can in gore tex sneakers. You could get away with that if you have the right crampoons......

I've done it too a few years ago. It's a fine route with stellar hand crack pitches. It's got goot ledge belays and I have to chime in with shitkowski that the final 20 feet of thin hand crack is stellar. 5.9 my ass - felt a little like that Libra crack at index in some ways (I hung on gear). if you have thin hands the better. The headwall above snafflehound ledge is killer and exposed.

That appears to be the second log near the trailhead sign. First one is shimmy or was anyway. SHit can change...

All the ridges on Forbidden are day climbs. Also other day climbs that can be linked or done as well are- Sahale Sharkfin Boston Torment Eldorado Snowking and more ...
