The wedge shaped design zips into your sleeping bag, zipping out drafts (but not smells)

Have any of you crafty devils out there ever made a 2 person sleeping system? I was given a sewing machine, and this seems like a good project.

Nice TR, the lack of snow is shocking!

East face of Three fingers

Just leave the wank gear at home and so snorkeling and surfing, the water is only 80 degerees. I tried to tell a friend who just went, but he insisted...only to come to the same conclusions upon seeing the rock. Screw climbing, go swimming!!!

You are right, on closer inspection, the face is not on the peak proper. We just always called the area Prospect Peak because the old copy of the greeen Beckey guide we had listed Prospect, but the new volumes have left it out. Again, I only repeated an existing line on a wall I knew absolutely nothing about except the b/w photo I posted. The whole area is special, and worth the effort.

No, that's the west face of Prospect Peak. Not my wall, but my hat is off to the the motivated folks who did some good climbs out there. Also, good bigfoot country.

Here is a picture of the area, taken 1997 Another picture taken from the eastern side:the Knot route

There must have more snow the year I hiked thru that area, I don,t remember a thing. I recall keeping a good pace as the Icecliff glacier frightened me.

If you are traveling to Southern Nevada this year and you might need a little help... The Washington State Embassy/ Las Vegas is available to help you out. We here at the consulate are here to help: Gear rental (rope, gear, ect) Emergency Services (telephone, internet, couch) Partner (sometimes) Beta (at your own risk) Hospitality Services (for those in need) The WSELV is a non profit organization. Must provide proof of residency * *Residents of Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and British Columbia are really nice people, but you will need to have 2 Washington residents vouch for you in order to recieve help. (small bribe OK)

I thought we were all burned out hacks, thats why we don't climb anymore....

Is this where you were?

Hell, we jus cawl that huntin!

We rappeled Apes and Ballerinas, I remember it being beautiful!...and maybe not as dirty as TimL suggested. There is some amazing country up there.... The Terry/ Michael might be the most "out there" 11c at Index! ( I have not sampled that forbidden gem)

Trask, right?

Collum is like Batman....I remember him parking the wagon at the Country, reading the Journal between burns.

Inflatable guitars!

CC.com's department of dark arts, busy again.

Well, I was half right....the bad half.

When weight is not as much of a issue, a really nice sleeping pad system gives you the rest you need to accomplish your goals. I sometimes use 2 pads: a 3/4 closed cell and a thermarest. My newest addition is a inflatable pillow. Don't forget the crazy creek!

cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat those evil machines You go Mike!

Falling should be part of the test! "OK, that looks great...now pull up two arm loads of slack and jump!"

I am stunned at the massive numbers of avalanches that occured across the west in the last few days. Park City, Alpental, Mt Charleston... All suffering shocking avalanche incidents. Stevens Pass, today: a friend relayed that a local skier was completely buried skier's right of Geroge's rock. Shaken and brusied, his equipment gone, our man is lucky. This is an very different kind of winter.... Let's be careful out there
