Gym climbing? The long traverses on the big footholds do this to my beater shoes as my foot pivots on each hold. Practice soft feet and don't move them around once they're on a hold.

Yup, he's the one!

Strawberry range is just south of John Day (east central part of the state).

With a beacon it's pretty easy to get within 20 or so feet of the burial. I don't think a GPS would be accurate enough to pinpoint a location after that - a 20 foot circle means a lot of time digging. Ideally you get it down to an 8x8' area and get to probin'.

Awww, yeah, I mean if we're going to be crass here, lets all at least be quoting Zappa.

Come to pub club tonight to meet some peeps.

Beer!

Thumbs up for MountainSavvy's Avy Class if you are in the Portland area.

Thank you Rush.

freshies

Skied from a bit past the top of Palmer on Sunday, quite nice, pretty much above the clouds until the bottom of the lift. The gullies had some real nice light snow.

Word.

Working tomorrow, blah. Freshies Sunday. Still psyched. Leaving work soon.

I'll drink the 21st.

I see, because it will be way strong enough even crossloaded, werd.

Pardon my ignorance, what be a 'quicklink'? Like one of them steal oval biners with the wrench screwlock?

TG brews rock!

Or take the stickclip off the harness, replace with 12 gauge, and have fun with all the pigeons in the huecos on Buckets.

My family picked up one of the first gen Chrysler Minivans back in '84. T'was sweet for roadtrips in my teenage years. Got 275K miles with no major maintenance. Called it the 'toaster'. Loved that car.

- Take it easy climbing for a couple months. - Dark rainy eves in the gym building endurance. - Learn to climb easy aid at Rocky in the rain. - Ski 'dem freshies. - Easy winter alpine. - More freshies. - All kinds of trad and alpine in the spring, me hopes, don't matter where.

Upload it to the photo gallery, then link to it as a URL like this. Wait, misread, nevermind, you want it in the post, I don't think you can do that... [ 11-04-2002, 03:14 PM: Message edited by: b-rock ]
