These are great all around tools. I am asking $200 for the set. I can even throw in ups ground shipping if you want, since they have to be mailed from Ouray. Anyone who is interested just post here or e-mail me at silljames@hotmail.com. Thanks J. J.

I know there is a good number of people from the northwest who head to the San Jauns to climb during the holidays so I thought I would give some info on current conditions in our neck of the woods. Ice Park- Opened Dec. 13 Camp Bird/Skylight Area -Skylight Climbs are mostly in but thinner than last year -Ribbon-has been climbed but first pitch is scary thin -Birdbrain-no ice yet, probably not going to happen this year Horsetail Falls-In Silverton/Eureka-All of the major climbs are in and fat, I climbed there I climbed there two days ago and it was very good. Telluride- Ames Ice Hose-In. I climbed it about 10 days ago and it is mixed on the first two pitches. The thin section on the first pitch can be bipassed by rockclimbing on the right at 5.8 on bad rock in crampons. The second pitch is mostly steep ice with some stemming onto rock Bridalveil Falls-Looks good from the road it is probably climbable right now with a bunch of the usual overhanging mushrooms on the second pitch. The season looks like it is finally kicking into high gear. Anyone planning a trip here this winter should also think about bringing their backcountry boards because the skiing has been great so far.
