Grey version is the shit. Buy a hand full of pairs at the begining of the season and you're set. Great for leashless climbing, they even dry out when you stash 'em in a jacket. What's the word Russ?

I would stick with feathered friends or second ascent if it is conveniant. Marmot is always a bit of a cluster.

The parking lot at the Alpine Club hostel in Canmore. Dry your shit out inside, cook, do laundry, keep a low profile.

It is just better. More freedom, your hands stay warmer, the list goes on. Even twight and co. pretty much climb totally leashless these days, as do most good climbers. No, its not a chest beating thing, it's just another way of doing things.

Crossfit is definately the way to go. The great thing about it is the flexibility of the workouts. Friends and I do it in a home garge climbing gym, incorperating the wall some, but mostly do it with weights, finger/campus board. The workouts of the day generally require little if any equipment, great when you don't have the space. A group of us have been doing it where I live for a few months and I am really sold on it. In combination with climbing long routes or full days cragging, it really seems to be the ticket. Check out www.gymjones.com for the full on approach to crossfit from climbers. Have fun, the workouts can be brutal.

Hey Mike, I'm a friend of Marcus Donaldson. Estes is kind of my home base for me. I will be out of town for the next little while but I could probably hook you up with a couch or even an extra room of some friends of mine. Just let me know. Just ask Marcus how to get a hold of me.

Crossfit has worked pretty well for me. Been doing it a couple of months in local garage gym, but you can do it about anywhere with a few weights and pullup bar/finger board. Seems to have helped me. It's a good addition to long days out climbing, which is the real key. www.crossfit.com

My condolances to the Skoog family and friends. They way he was able to get after it in the mountains with his brothers and friends was truly inspiring.

Yeah, the plaques are pretty common at the Creek. I have even seen ones made for new routes in the last year or so. They don't really last long though, you can't even read the ones that are more than a few years old.

I think Guy Edwards climbed the North Ridge in six hours or so. For technical routes that might be the fastest. I know of others who are pretty close to that time on the N. Ridge.

So I don't really no what to say. I have become friends with both Karen and Sue over the last couple of years, they both get after it better than almost any men. These women are as tough as they come, but I fear the worst.
