Mel: pick up a copy of Allen&Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips. I have found this book to be extremely helpful. There was one copy left at Powell's on Hawthorne last time I looked. Also, if you want to practice with another newbie (on lifts) I'm available during the week now. We can do face plants together.
I do photo re-touching for a living and today the instructions on the photo said "remove baby's genitals". well ok.
To protect the identity of the customer I can't show off the results but I amazed even myself with my superior photoShop skills!
I have to admit the timing is perfect for GWB - just before the holidays and less than a year before the election. Wonder how long they kept him in that hole.
I read an article that she wrote about Tasker's death and it's affect on her, even many years later, but not the book. Sounds like too much of a downer for me.
will they fit in your suitcase? Prob a better option even if you carry on. I've gotten away with knitting needles. In general, I think security has become quite lax lately as far as carry on items go but I still have to remember to keep my micra at home it's been almost confiscated a number of times.
I agree that a smaller copyright symbol would have been more aesthetic. The large watermarks really mar and detract from your wonderful photography. Everyone who publishes their photography on the internet takes the risk of having it "stolen" - I've been a victim of it myself!
well, if the intention was to foster a future bad ass climber i might have had to give old smeagol's alias due consideration...christ, did you see the shit he DOWNCLIMBED (face first, no less) in the 2 towers?
sorry no I didn't
There was a blurb about it in Outside and I think a couple of new books are out on the subject as well. Yes, there is some controversy surrounding the death of M's brother 30 years ago.
