In other words ditch 'em.

Your shoes look tired. Good trip.

Dick Long is the orthopedic guy to see here. He's has an incredible pic of Hummingbird in his office. Inspires me to never go there either.

I like my last TR.

Trip: Fairview Dome - Lucky Streaks Date: 8/2/2008 Trip Report: Yup, its good. The .9 undercling traverse is freakier than than the .10d crux.

I've got a 45L sz. Med. for sale if someone is interested. Been to lazy to Ebay it.

Double most excellent!

And, uh, Telluride for ice.

I have not had success in getting my pack repaired either. Luckily I never got as far as sending it in since I also had gotten no response from him. So I'll do it myself.

My personal experience with grivel (taakoon) is they are horribly sticky. Even tuned. Maybe the picks are redesigned or I just suck. Either way I switched to the new vipers. These are quite nice on steep ice.

Yup, they never delivered, and it took several calls-emails to get my card refunded. As an aside, I've been 100% on internet transactions until this year. I've had 4 go south since Jan.

Chouinard @ LV is fat-fat-fat. Main Wall is relatively low flow this year but is forming nice pillars instead of wide curtains. Some of the ice on Main Wall has thinned out considerably since mid Jan. Cave Man on Main Wall

A hint to whether they actually have the item in stock: check the estimated ship date. If its a few days or so out, expect further delays and a phone call.

Spend wads of money getting to cool places, suffering shitty weather and not getting up anything. Again. Oh, and world peace...or was that stay out of the hospital. You hear that mom & dad?!

Really? Cool! Sounds like the last loose ends are covered.

On an oil platform wondering how it all went so horribly wrong.

Good luck dude. Shoulda made it Reno. It just like SLC without the Mormons. And the canyons, and the mtn biking, and the ice and...oh never mind.

When used by non-Italians, ciao = fuck off...therefore mostly appropriate. Ciao!
