    Oh! I know the one!

     

     

  2. Watched it for the first time too.

    What struck me most was just how Marc lived.   He could have been anything, but the way he lived and his focus on what was important to him.  Living in a stairwell, a tent, in a snow cave. Ignoring the pressures other put on him that didn't fit with the pure vision that he had, of what he was trying to obtain.  All the while just just presenting a face of goofy kindness to anyone he interacted with.

    Thats what I admire most about him, and wish that I could better implement into my own life....and also what I wish for my son or anyone.  The level and type of climbing he was doing is something foreign to me that  I can't begin to understand, and I'm sure I never will. But I can understand and admire the example that he lived outside of that.

  3. love it. some of my best trips were total "failures".  beats sitting on the couch.  interesting discussion around stoves, usually people are just talking about elevation...i guess white gas is better when its really cold.  the majority of the times I was in a really cold situation that what we were using.   not that i've been in a ton of cold situations, but we never had a problem with white gas. 

  4. i remember carrying ulee up the old Mailbox Peak trail.  he peed down my back. it was memorable.  he also yelled at me most of the way, telling me which way to go.  the pack strategically placed his head by my ears. 

     I think it was a Kelty.   it was pretty comfortable.
