Any new news on conditions in Ouray? Will be out there this weekend.If not will post when I get back.

Last year me and JDog did the easy route on Ingles. Waiting impatently for the Mountaineers to finish. NO! We simo-climbed past them as their leader shouted, "Don't ever do what those F___er's are doing." Kiss my ass. At the top they were all too scared to unrope and walk to the actual summit. Laughed my ass off. JDog was trained by'em, I think I've got'em deprogramed by now.

Also another note: The trees this year have very heavy snow loads. Heading out Sunday the wind hit the trees, I'm surprised we weren't smacked down. Trees were sluffing loads to the right & left of us; land mines in reverse. Got to get AT skis soon.

I was with jdog. My $.02 is that whoever makes us of the trail we stomped out owes us a couple of beers! I would sujest bringing four pickets, on some sections there is no way to protect 'cus of the loose snow.
