  1. Climb: Baker Backcountry-

     

    Date of Climb: 11/18/2006

     

    Trip Report:

    Perhaps the best first day of the season in years? Snow conditions were excellent up high off the Table ridge, heavier down low and mixed with chunky avi debris. Tried to find a cool gully and ended up above a waterfall, but there really wasn't that much b/s or rocks poking through thumbs_up.gif

     

    We were expecting hoards of gapers, but the jibbing quotient was surprisingly low. Ran into Kellie and Rolf, though wave.gif

     

    Pan Dome a ways off, but there was some stuff forming on the south side of Herman.

     

    Gear Notes:

  3. Most of your movies, although funny, don't even come near Borat. The brilliance is in the different levels: you've got the potty humour of bringing your shit to the dinner table in a plastic bag, and then the high brow cultural swipes, the guy at the rodeo explaing that Borat should shave his moustache to avoid looking like a terrorist, all so we can be "free" tongue.gif

  4. Tangent: Experiences with BD Guide:

     

    -way more friction than Reverso, good for 8-9mils, but almost too much friction for 10+mil . . . gonna stick to Reverso for the fatties, so basically the Guide is the same for me as the Reversino . . .
