cbs-i can tell you some recent experiences on that mtn that are very similar! Very deceptive looking little peak! Glad you didn't have to bivvy. Rapping in the dark is just miserable! 10am doesn't seem that bad for a climb of Guye but recently i had a trip up guye that was 7hrs door to door due to some stupid choices.

this shouldn't surprise you...only a woman stupid enough to do this would be stupid enough to be around you

i'm on the injured list and moving this w/e. no TRs for at least 6 weeks

cripes! i'm a science nerd i can't write anything interesting. besides some things aren't meant to be shared w/the general public.

might i suggest this format: opening paragraph covers important details, where you went, conditions, success or failure, interesting gear tips that are route specific and any raves or rants about new gear. Embelish your heart out after that. Some people do a great job of this and it does make a fun read!

nahh...i just felt left out.

having recently experienced a vehicle break-in, i can say from experience that the authorities are going to take a report and leave it at that. Its up to the bank to push for a fraud investigation. I asked my bank about the catching the person using my card and basically they told me it's really not worth their time unless it get to be a large sum. So yeah they can do it...is it worth the effort to the police or your bank. no.

yeah! i haven't assaulted dryad in anyway publicly or privately. I'm all for more women around this joint! just pointed out that she certainly doesn't have a self esteem problem!

Sorry - had to. figures just like a man

Dru- you're absolutely correct on the steeping. and it also matters the type of tea. herbal not a caffeine problem

muffy's right! black tea has more caffeine than the avg cup of coffee. now espresso drinks that's a whole different issue. I do believe it does. I am no expert... but I KNOW chi does... ask arround. I had to quit cafiene totaly for medical reasons, and was told that tea is worse than coffee

my understanding from recently buying my downhill set up is that the women's skis are softer based b/c of weight and are slightly different b/c the conformation f women is somewhat different than men. hey i'm all about equality but if someone's going to address the practicle reality that women are different then men, i'm all for it! i bought the men's model b/c i like a stiffer ski and a fatter ski as well.

nice pics! glad you made it back. nice that they had hot food for ya! i'm thinking getting "lost" is the way to go

sound advice. AT set up is the way to go imho. nice shwag! free tune is a good thing! erik you just gotta quit that nose pickin!

i must not have bought anything there. no check for me yet and i can't remember buying anything at REI. maybe i need to rethink my shopping habits

i've got my own...never considered the issue of chick's gear rental. guess that could be a prob. try some of the local shops for rentals as well. i wasn't suggesting that you try an and go w/the whole girl bonding thing. just that its not just men that post and tele.

gotta go w/fern on this one...new marketing is needed. not everyone on the board is male.

oh no! it's finally happened. i agree w/muffy and DFA in the same thread!

yeah 35-40 pounds seems like a reasonable weight to me. i bet there's more than a few people who over estimate their fitness. if it's a beginner course many of them may not have ever carried a pack of any significant weight.

wow...no self esteem problems there.

I was wondering the same thing. That place is a bloody hiway anyway but nice of Mountie to warn us. I was there at the crack of sunrise last friday and still saw people in the parking lot.

maybe....but it seems like a good question Well now that is just rude.

i don't think trask would bother to hide his porn directory, more likely his tax records.

yeah i was thinking the same thing. way to go trask
