If you were serious about skiing, you'd live somewhere that you could make a nonstop 10,000 vertical foot descent when the shit hits in the spring. Word.
I'm going skiing this weekend for sure. I hope the weather is terrible. I want to be wet and miserable, so long as I get to turn in some fresh snow. I've been skiing glacier ice for too long.
Well done. Did you do it late at night, on a holiday, or something like that? I don't think it would help with probation to get caught 'trespassing', so I'll probably just wait awhile...
Nice link. So, do you do it with a rope to get down really quickly and hopefully avoid arrest, or do you just walk by it every day with the thought of it eating away at your self-respect?
Mr. Chips,
I really hate your icon. That guy looks so fucking smug. I'd like to knock him the fuck out, but he's just a cartoon, so c'est la vie. I just really wanted to say that. Thanks
There was a story in the University Daily recently about some guy climbing about half way, the cops showed up, and then he was too tired to do anything but stay where he was. He eventually got down, sans topping out.
Sometimes teaching physics labs can be tedious, especially if the students are being peculiarly self-sufficient. I used my leisurely time to eye a nice route up the seven-feet-tall cabinets where they meet the wall. I managed to free solo the route. I will call it 'Sky's distraction.' I hope no one asks about those marks on the wall. Any one seen any other worthwhile routes at the UW physics building? I might try climbing the peanut in the courtyard next.
Yeah, there are a lot more crevasse problems coming from the Easton and Squak. The Coleman's not bad. Get to the top of the pumice ridge, take a deep breath, and sprint the roman headwall with front point's a-blazin'.
The Coleman Deming isn't too bad. I was last there Oct. 14th. Just below the saddle there's a nice little ice step and traverse above a big crevasse, but it can be done in a day.
