Not nearly a year but closer to 5 months since we had it at the wanna be irish bar in (Celtic Bayou) redmond. It was an ok place to go since smoking was only allowed outside. Which is fine for me and seemed ok for everyone else. It's just the factor of getting people to show up that is important.

Damn I missed out on skian ian since I am ill. I hear that my friend Bruce was taking mtneers course with him as instructor some time ago. I guess Ian farted just at the belay and declared it ok since it was "freedom of the hills".

Climbing in groups of 3 is way more fun on most climbs. More people to make fun of, share the weight and share your experiences with. I have climbed mostly with either a single line with the followers simul climbing tied in 10-15 feet apart on the following end. I find the rope management to be superior for this type of use. Fleblebleb pms and I used this method when we did the NW couloir of eldo and it worked just great. Also I have climbed mostly on very steep ice with 3 people and 2 ropes, having the followers follow on single strands. I definitely think climbing in groups of 3 is real fun. That way if you make plans and one person falls out then at least you have a partner too

glen alpine journals are great. I do like the Canadian AJ the best.

Dru has 9 million journals and mags all over his living room. He must have been a subscriber or luccky benefactor at one time.

The final word is that skiing is more difficult in mountain boots. You can modify them plastics all you want but the best bet is just to become a better skier with your mtn boots or suffer. That's why I dont like to do it. I'd rather ski with ski boots on.

Just show them some good EXTREME photos. Put your camera to more use. I dont bother explaining it any more. I just tell them something along the lines that bobinc mentioned.

Outside Mag- the one that Krakauer used to print all kinds of erroneous, false and shitty info about Beckey and his way of life. I guess it was part of his ride to the top before Everest books.

with these temps i'd call most efforts to climb in lillowet pretty desperate http://www2.mybc.com/weather/city.cfm?citycode=WKF&countryCode=CAN might as well take up skiing. it's less driving anyway.

Nobody ever said they were pro pushing some gay tower over. But now that i's down great. Maybe I'll go push one over next time since it's nothing more than trundling. To do it with malicious intent is one thing. max you truly are a nerd.

definitely beastie boys. i'm not trying to take any credit for inventing it. How about some David Allen Coe ??!!

Move the rangers out. Rethink their stand.

another part that is lame at some stores is that some employees know very little about the products they sell.

The fact that REI supported fee demo makes them low on my list no matter what they sell.

greybeard, get over it. It fell down. who cares. It was a chossy tower waiting to fall. It wasnt hard to identify that.

lee, to get into Redoubt you might have to go through some of BC but the mountain itself is in WA. If only we had the time to do them all.

God rest his soul. I love hearing about guys like this. It's too bad he is gone. Some guys are just way cool partners (I have some with similar motivations) and they can never be replaced.

Fucking lots of daylight in june eh!? I'd like to try it if I can get there. Otherwise some Bugaboos or Coast Range again. Either way I win Damn that Coast Range is nice

Maybe they are for style points More gear and straps look more hardcore

I'll likely smash pins before I use them. But I dont get into weird aid shit either.

get a selection of both. Aliens are really a treat sometimes.

I use doobies *smoke smoke* Light em then inhale all at once. Normally I like the vents. Did you wear a balaclava or hat? They usually help out.

Maybe so about the 6 foot goner theory. I have used mine a few times already in training and looking for gear. I'll stand with my thoughts on the probe I have ( hehe hehe probe ) as being the best buy for use. I am sure the ones sold with BCA will work too. I just like to buy gear once if I can. I have the biggest baddest probe. All the ladies love it

Just kidding about uni mog in pickets. But Picket range drive to parking is about 4 hours from Squampton. Trask yeah I still have that thing. Now take my mug off the internet before everyone sees it. Does anyone really have thoughts on those probes sold with shovels? Are they as weak as they look and feel for field use?
