Why don't you just take a WFR course(Wilderness FirstResponder)for $450-$500, an Avalanche Level 1 course $200, basic & advanced mountaineering and crevasserescue courses $1000 and take the rest of the moneyand just go climb on your own. You'll end up gettingmuch more experience that way. Or take the rest of themoney and buy equipment and do local climbing with itand your newfound skills. you'll get much more bang foryour buck this way, instead of paying NOLS $4000.

You're a bit confused. YOU like boys with little
dicks; type slowly and it will come out the way you
think it.

If you'll be my 696, I'll be your 969!

Thank you AlpineK! My fellow skier and brother; I
also ski occasionally with a couple friends who board,
but they rip; they also bitch about the same boarder
traits as I do.
-
Whatever, I don't have a problem with good boarders,
just the problem children I spoke of(unfortunately
there are a higher percentage of them). My skiing?
Just fine!I'm sure I was ripping it on skis, long
before you ever picked up a board; I won't make any
assumptions about your ability.Why don't you let your
fellow boarder Mr.Strickland, know it's "heelside"
and not "backside" and if you've ever set foot on a
surfboard, it's "backside"(thought there might be
some crossover).
-
You ever go to one of your favorite steep runs ona good powder day, just to find that some snowboarderside-slid all the snow off of it, because they reallycouldn't board it? That and the rude,give no shitabout anyone but themselves manners, is what 90% ofsnowboarders are like. Plus, 50% of their turns aremade blind("backside" turns). If you're a good snowboarder and can make TURNS in the steeps,fine;if not stay where you belong!

Trask, there's much love, except on the topic ofsnowboarding. I don't flip you any different sheit,than you flip me or anyone else. I don't fire, unless fired upon. Not quite the kind B.C. ganj andnot likely to improve, if they don't stop making those900+ lbs. busts at the border! I love you man!

I'm serious! He has openly admitted to not being a
climber and to owning a pair of crampons for "when
he encounters snow on hikes"; I'm just telling it
like it is!
-
-
Sorry, I should be more thoughtful! Who needs anavalanche poodle, when you have snowboarders!
-
He's mad, because he's not a climber and everyone
else here is! He is a self admitted scrambler, at
best. I think he might be a knuckle-dragging snow-
boarder as well!
-
Stupid things, happen to stupid people! They should
have just let him drop onto the snow, snowboarders
are expendable anyway!

Kind of ironic that a guy with the name of a SmithRock sport route, nominates this climb(with very vague beta, to boot!).

1)Northwest Buttress of Denali
2)Fred Beckey(the man who first climbed my #1)
3)Mt.St.Elias

The WFR course is FAR superior to the WFA and much
more in depth. Several companies that offer courses
are Wilderness Medical Institute-Pitkin,CO(company
I used), Wilderness Medical Associates-Bryant Pond,ME
Wilderness Medicine Training Center-Winthrop,WA
SOLO-Conway,NH and American Alpine Institute-Bellingham,
WA, just to name a few. These are the most recognized
orginizations though.

Do you plan on being a practicing EMT? Riding in
an ambulance? If not and what you want is the medical
knowledge for climbing/backcountry, then I would
recommend a Wilderness First Responder course. The
reason for this, is in order to achieve the Wilderness
portion of a WEMT, you must first become a EMT B
(basic)and then pay more for the wilderness portion
of the certification(not offered by any college that
I know of)through a private company. This will all
end up costing more than the WFR course. Also, when
it comes time to re-certify and your not a practicing
EMT, you will be tested on knowledge that you will
not have used since the original course(if you don't
use it, you lose it!). The WFR courses are 9-10 days
and 8 hours a day(short and intensive); the EMT course
will be a quarter long and many more hours and the
W portion will be a week long on top of that. It all
depends on what you want out of it. I went the way
of the WFR and when it comes time to re-certify,
(certification is good for 3 years for WFR & WEMT)
the class is only 16 hours.

Sorry, didn't know you meant the east side of Illumination
Rock and yes, there are several lines over there
that are fun. I've only done one, down to the Riley
Horse Camp, but looked like several other good lines
to be had, some with really good steep shots. In the
winter and early spring, you can only drive to
where the Lolo Pass Road and Road 1825 fork and then
it's a 20 min. ski to/from Riley Horse Camp. If you
haven't been over there before, it would be best to
ski up from there, because it would be easy to over-
shoot that fork in the road and are several cliffy
sections.
-
I don't think that from Timberline down, is worththe effort; best to do from Illumination to T-Lodgeand skip the shuttle/hitchhike. Most of the waydown from the lodge, will be barely steep enoughto glide, let alone make any turns.

Let's look at the logic in this: a bear is charging
you, so with nerves of steel and an aim like Wild
Bill, you pull out your bear spray and utilize its
5-6 foot range; this is just going to put a bad
taste in its mouth before it rips your head off!
Oh, and that's if the bear isn't running down wind
AT you(ie. you spray at the bear, which is into the
wind and YOU get blinded, before the bear rips your
head off). This shit doesn't even look good on paper!
Bear Bells are much better(or something of the same
nature); let the bear know that you are around,
before you know the bear is around; they will avoid
you almost all the time then(unless you haven't
stored your food properly).

Ah, another loser! Mr. "I need a ropegun in order
to do any climbing at all", must be the pivot man
in the four man circle jerk, with alpinejer'k',crazymouthfullofjizz and enormus johnsonhead.
Open wide, shit eater! -
Work? yeah right! You were working on your favorite
passtime, chugging cock! Also, boy of little mind,
the origin of Smith climbing was on all the bomber
basalt and pretty good tuff trad climbing. The fact
that you associate me living next to Smith, to me
being a sport climber, means that because you live
in Seattle, you must be a Mountaineer; I don't think
you have enough experience for that either, though!
Lick it like you always do! -
Trask,
You couldn't find ice, even in your own freezer andif you could, you'd probably wear your crampons(whichshould be taken away from you!)
From bottom to top,lick it!
