    Flagging

    It has helped me in the winter to navigate back to the truck in the woods. However, do your own flagging if its gonna be done, and then remove them on the way out. Or get a GPS Fuck flaggin in the bush. You aren't gonna see them anyways, so why litter it up??
  3. Yeah, that ski looked freaking cruiser for sure. And all the way to meadows, that must have been like 5000 vertical , nice
  4. Serious . Sounds very relaxing.
  5. for sure Sounds like a good company on a good outing

    Weird Shasta

    Don't plant you're axes too deep. sensitivity to energy is a good thing.
  7. Isn't chord center reffering to the center point in a circle, thus the center point of the chord?? Long time since I have heard that term
  8. Nice
  9. Did you put it to use this weekend?? Give me the low down man. How was the trip??
  10. I prefer to have two tools on 50 degree rime with big exposure. Thats just me though. As for the alpine ice, as I said, conditions were spicy. Unfortunatly not every climb in the mountains is on neve, especially in the middle of winter.
  11. Nice! Been over that pass from brainard lake under a full moon. That was nice. Good terrain in the indian peaks for sure.
  12. Climb: Mt. Hood-Wy-East Date of Climb: 2/20/2004 Trip Report: Started climbing at 4:00 a.m.. SKinned to 8500 feet and made the traverse. Downclimbed a large cornice, climbed 1000 ft. of alpine ice, 1000 of unconsoldated powder, and 1000 of rime. Cruxes were the cornice, reading wind loading, and the exit gullies on the east face. Great route, snow conditions were optimal for keeping things spice. Clear all day. Decended the south side. Gear Notes: two tools, crampons, skis Approach Notes: traverse at 8500, watch south-west aspects for wind loading.
  13. I'll tell you what went down hill, the CAM. Talk about full circle. There it is CC.com, where everything goes full circle.
  14. i wonder if the lobes will even contract with all that gunk on them
  15. Watch out.... Trust me everyone watch out. No longer will the BD .75 be green, it will be brown.
  16. My fault? You dirty sonofabitch. Sure send me to do the dirty work(i.e. french free the aid pitch), and then blame the cam drop on me. Oh noo noo my firend. Nada guilt amigo. nice try though, gotta give points for the effort. That thing looked fine. Toss it in a crack and drop some wieght on it, see if the metal has any hairlines in it.
  17. Want to buy 100mm skins. let me know if you have any you can part with. Nick
