That explains a lot. Yes...I've already started.

Anyone from West Seattle headed to the snausagefest? I need a ride.

Now that is how to lose! I'm proud of these guys.

Actually, I came across this bit of trivia in an AAJ from the 40s. There is also a nice little story about a Mt. Constance climbing accident by Norman Bright in the '43 AAJ.

Olympic Mountains Trivia Question- Who named Warrior Peak?

I've always had a strong pulse, and have never had frost bite/nip. In fact, I done plenty of climbing in leathers without really noticing the cold before, but for some reasons these boots that I thought would be toasty had my feet numb (they are a good fit and I wasn't wearing crampons). Anyway, thanks for the ideas with the inserts...I'm going to give that a try. Does anyone have Scarpa Alpha Ice boots? What do you think?

I'm looking for alpine use. I have a pair of La Sportiva Nepal Extremes, which I thought would be plenty for winter in the Cascades, but my feet got pretty cold last winter after spending a couple days on a glacier. I guess it could be just a circulation issue with my feet. The rest of my body was fine. The other reason I'm looking at plastics is that I can wear the liners when sleeping. I've never owned plastics, and so I'm not sure how much of an improvement as far as insulation rating they are compared to a boot like the Nepals. I also accidentally left my boots outside the tent last winter and had to thaw them out to get them back on my feet.

Yes. Thanks.

What are you wearing? My feet get cold easily, so I'm looking for some well insulated boots for use in winter alpine. What have you found to be the best combination as far as plastics with a liner? Anyone using the Intiuition liners? What shell?

Your Chris "only" sends 13+.

Interesting.

Can I see this again?

So is this actually a decent pack? Why? Should I have known already? Don't spare. Tell me! I could use one pack right in the nitch that the "genie" falls.

6 out of 7? What more are you asking for? Or was it 7 out of 8. Nevermind. Don't ever get into this business.

Serly I appreciet(sp) respect. Great site. Someday I'll understand what it all means.

Don't squeeze the Sharma!

How much does it cost to keep this website going? I'll participate.

I think a 10.5mm rope can hold a lot more than 180lbs. But you do the math.

I eat, love, and drink a Rio Karma. It has worked well, and they had an interesting bulletin board for a while. I don't know what happened with Rio, but my carma works well. I just wish it had as cool of controls as found on the iPod.

I had a dream that Trader Joes was franchising. And I was gonna get rich!
