Very nice - thanks for the post. I'd like to get a quality print of this to frame for my office.

Sobo and Freeman - thanks for the tips good reading on the TT forum too - searches turned up lots of good info (careful sifting required) - next time: search first, post after. DH

Sobo, Thanks for the suggestion - frankly the reason I didn't search first was because I never thought of it - stupid me (note the avitar). Thanks too for your rant retract - kept me from replying something along the lines of having a life of work, family, skiing, climbing, etc. that detracts me from making 1,100 posts on a bb. - just flippin' ya shit - I do appreciate your tip!

Need to upgrade to a new avi beeper. My purpose will be 99% for backcountry skiing. Does anyone care to share your opinions, experience or recommendations regarding the following or others: Backcountry Access Tracker - DTS Ortovox F-1 Mammut Barryvox TIA DH

Not too sure you're going to find a new tube receiver but if you want to go without the radio section both Creek and Musical Fidelity both make good, affordable tube integrated amps for modest power needs. You can also post to the newsgroups listed under rec.audio

Bring it on

Spew hits the mainstream - check out the front page of today's Wall Street Journal. Says that bolts are put there by "less-fastidious new-schoolers" to make hard climbs easier. I agree, they they make nice mono-digit handholds. DH

>Is Kit the man so many years ago that would use his 357 Python to shoot slings off of the Lower Town Wall? < I don't believe that he owned a python at the time that story originated - I think it was an M-1, a better option given the choice.

Is anyone participating in a local organized effort to oppose/terminate this "trial" - or, if not, aware of such a effort? Any national groups? Glen - Anything more From Cantwell? has anyone contacted P. Murray's office? DH

I'd prefer the chairlift if it went all the way to the top.

Alas, I long for the day when I was a "Youthful Marijuana Victim"

The Ahwahnee Lodge is nice. But @ $366/night they can't guaranty in advance you'll get a room with a view of LA Falls. camping at the Ahwahnee
