Thom Jones the blue collar guy, not the welsh singer dood the chix dig

Why not fight them. They probably make big time $$$ in profit! Your idea is worth money. I'm just guessing but I know that I could use an extra 50 or 100 grand which is what you probably could settle out of court for, ask MattP

Trask=Beckey and he is tired. The last book is done Fred! Goat

Ah ha...

See!

That's it, Trask=Beckey!

"Love Is A Dog From Hell" is awesome!

one real qualude (sp?)=16 beers

That so sucks! Do you have any proof that you came up with that first, like sold them locally to the coop or other climbers? Armand Dubuque came up with compression springs for Tele bindings first and Voile and Rottefella copied him. Voile paid him off right away because they are a super cool company! Rottefella said but Armand did hire a lawyer who went into it for a percentage and Armand got some free publicity from either Backcountry or Couloir Mag and Rottefella paid off to avoid bad publicity. We could raise an internet stink and lawyers don't necessarily need upfront $ if they think the case has merit. I mean you are talkin' a valuable idea here. The fact that you have to shatter one of those bars and then warm it in your mouth before you can chew it is the reason I do not buy Powerbars.

BTW Trish, I like the new you, that old hair-do was too girly for a rock jock

Irregardless of my respect for Caveman Trish, I think it should be Trask that does all the servicing around here...

New to which area?

The drive is beautiful, should be done during the day. Keep an eye out for Yak Peak! There is a toll road, like $10 US. There are a couple bars and definitely some young locals but it is no Whistler, but better than Glacier (unless you know the right folks . If you are not searching for girls then should be an opportunity for some one on one time. If you really want to party you two could and go skiing! Always fun...

I was there a month ago. Took the whole family and went with many others. Great place, definitely family oriented (read: no great party scene) Long runs, lots of grooming, snowmaking, Some good blacks, plenty of lifts and no lines, cheap tickets and lodging. If you need a massage, Sonia Dobson of Sun Peaks Massage Therapy, excellent relaxation and sports massage! I wanted to try the snow cat deal, didn't have time. It looked tempting tho. Sounds like a great deal.

I think we have successfully placed all three at the same place at the same time. So how come the Rock and Ice editors left out Earl's partners (space?) and how come Ed left out mention of Earl (couldn't be lack of space, the book is huge)?! Is there a bigger story? Ruffled feathers? A tryst with the Lawgoddess?!

Mystery solved

How many pitches is it?

The picture in Ed Webster's book only shows he and Becker high on the route. one can see both ends of the rope. Maybe Wiggins soloed it, pre placing gear for the others to clip; a kind of prelude to sport climbing?!?

Thanks Scott One wonders why they left each other out of their respective writings. Might be a story here...

I am reading Ed Webster's "Snow In the Kingdom" and in it he says (includes photo of the two on the wall) that he and Bryan Becker made the first ascent of Super Crack (5.10b) at Indian Creek circa 1976 and in this months Rock + Ice in a tribute to Earl Wiggans a photo shows Earl making the first ascent of Supercrack (5.10+) at Indian Creek, same era. Bueler? Anybody...?

A Basin unless you want to drive further. If the skiing sucks go party in Telluride. The girls there aren't mormons but definitely like to

What's the T area like in August, Ehmmic?

I might be going to Toloulomne Toulolomne Tololoumne AHHHH howeveryou spell it man, that place, then I want to go to Vicuna, then the Green Giant, Stuart...........

I have one of their tents, a 15* bag and a fleece shirt. The tent and the bag are good but average. The shirt had crappy stitching and is quickly in the process of unraveling. I expected something tougher, but should have known by the price. Overall, their stuff is ok but not tuff. Arc Teryx, Bibler, Ibex that stuff is tuff!
