  8. Many of you may already know that the American Alpine Club is in the process of implementing a strategic plan that is the most comprehensive change to the organization’s programs and services in its history. One of the key elements of this plan is to create more vibrant AAC communities where people live and climb. Our reliance on volunteer Sections throughout the nation has helped in this regard, but with this model it has been difficult to achieve the level of local programs that we would like to see. To address this issue, one of the elements of the AAC community program per our new strategic plan is to hire several Regional Coordinators in key areas throughout the United States over the next couple of years. As described in the attached job description, the Regional Coordinators would be community organizers for climbers responsible for consulting with their local community to determine the needs and then work with the local volunteers to prioritize and implement projects and programs to address those needs. The needs could be anything from a toilet at the crag, anchor replacements, cleanups, trail projects, social events, or outreach to disadvantaged youth. Our first Regional Coordinator position will be in the Pacific Northwest. We are looking for applicants who live in the region that meet the qualifications as described on the attached Job Description. If you know of anyone who would be interested in applying please pass this onto them. For those of you who are tech savvy feel free to use social networking sites to spread the word. We are on a fairly tight schedule for filling this position so please help to spread the word. I’m very excited about all the changes at the AAC as it steps more convincingly into its goal of being the organization for All American Climbers. Thanks for all your help and support.

  9. Bros and Brodinis, I have a pair of Garmont Megarides size 27.0 for sale. They have been used for one outing where I tested the limits of my pain threshold, and decided these boots are just too small for me. The boot shells have been modified for my foot by a professional boot fitter. He did a good job, but unfortunately the shell is just too small for my foot. You can see the marking where they were modified in the pics below. These come with some very nice Atomic Pro racing liners and if I can find them (I'm pretty sure I can) the original thermofit liners that came with the boots (fit once to my foot by FF). $250 $200 Garmonts line on them: The Mega Ride is our lightest weight 4-buckle performance Ski Mountaineering boot for the aggressive ski mountaineer. It's extremely versatile: light enough for classic go-fast ski tours, beefy and supportive enough for diffiuclt off-piste freeriding. Its reinforced tongue and double-injected cuff give it remarkable downhill performance without sacrificing light weight and tour-ability. Compatible with both traditional step-in and Dyanfit ultra-light ski mountaineering binding systems, Mega Riders can enjoy the option of an ultra-light binding and ski system for their classic touring, or a beefy ski with a step-in binding for freeriding and touring for turns.
  10. In just a few searches I found where that mural in Grand Central resulted in people ending up in the PNW just to see it. Here is an example: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0DEFDF1231F930A3575BC0A960948260
  11. John Scurlock tried to post about this, but apparently the board hiccuped. "was just wondering if that shuksan mural still existed, if anyone had ever seen it, etc., I was looking around on the internet and couldn't find it." I searched around and discovered that it was apparently an Ira Spring commissioned photo. I didn't find out the fate of the photo though. I don't think it is still hanging or if it even still exists.
  12. hahaha what is that, a star wars helmet?

    Good story

    I was hoping for more of a judgment of why I judged the story "good" and not an the economics of existence. WHO WILL BEAR THE COST OF THESE RISK TAKING ADRENALINE JUNKIES?
