Are you trying to graduate or slack off/flunk out? I'd say go the best school you can get your ass into! If it turns out there is climbing to be had nearby that's great but not climbing for three/four years is a small small sacrifice to make considering how much climbing you will do once you get out.

with so much good music out there its hard to narrow it down... I tend to just listen to what ever I am in the mood for or stoked on at the moment... a few staples for me though: motorcycle diaries movie soundtrack gorecki's 3rd cash live @ san quentin (the complete recording) mos def black on both sides blackalicious nia long hauls are also a great time to catch up on your "reading"... books on CD/mp3 are a great idea And if your ghetto sled doesnt have a plasma yet you can always do the ac adaptar in the cig lighter + a lap top... nothing like memorizing the moves to cryo by watching higher ground over and over on the drive up

For alpine climbing you're set... no need to travel. Since you're looking to burn some FF miles flying somewhere to climb ice could be a good idea: A few things to consider: - how are the approaches (the car part) for where you are headed? The hyalite road will eat any standard car rental... you need AWD minimum (unless you are a very very talented snow driver) and potentially some clearance depending on how much snow has fallen... both of which will bump your car rental price up. You might get lucky and know someone who lives where you are headed who has a 4x4. If you go the weekend of the ice festival you *should* be okay with a standard rental but still... it would suck to be "that guy" that get stuck and blocks everyone... - what will be in? Assuming we get a standard ice season by December Bozeman, Cody, and CAN should be good to go... Ouray would be a good choice as you dont need a monster truck rental car though the potential that the ice park isnt open yet exists... kinda depends on the season they are having. Finally it has been my experience that going the weekend of the festival you dont actually climb much ice... going the weekend before or even better the weekend after a festival is generally when the crowds are smallest... which means more ice for you! Hope this helps!

FYI last issue of performance menu had a great article on nightshades and its correlation to arthritis. PM me your email and I can email it to you (pdf)

I have an eldo and though generally it stays home I do bring it for gear overflow when I submarine 3 people into the eldo. Vestibule is required IMO if you are planning on melting snow for water in shitty weather using a liquid fuel based stove (XGK, etc)

inFERNo! Nice TR girl! Did you get a good recipe for speck?

For the festival? Good chance... To hyalite this winter? Absolutely

Best place(s) to grab a and a ? How about breakfast?

Thanks B!

Good call kids though this isnt a gift... its outfitting for ice season... we went and she tried on some arcteryx but the most of the insulation pieces were too short in the torso... the shells fit fine (Im guessing due to the shell pieces getting a longer cut). I think we'll try patagonia next. How does Montbell fit? Bueno?

You shouldn't thank people in advance for a favor they haven't done yet, it's very passive aggressive. Might as well ask for the TPS reports done on saturday. And your welcome, although, I supposed I sprayed. Thanks for not minding this post!!! So how's the dating scene in SEA Mike?

Question for the ladies or guys on this page who have purchased outdoor clothing for their girl (which yes excludes almost all of you ): Which brand(s) tend to fit longer torsos... i.e. are cut for longer torsos? Something that is cut long enough so that she can bend over without having the jacket ride up... Or does any brand currently offer a 0/2 in either tall sizing or is just cut a little longer? I know Patagonia does an XL tall offering... what about an XS tall offering? Would prefer an off the rack option and not getting a custom piece from beyond fleece, etc... Thanks for not spraying all over this

The Oregonian has a great article on the front page of the Science section today about how the Mazamas, Portland State and John have teamed up for a glacial study from the air. Worth the 50 cents if you ask me Cheers to Mr Scurlock

That traverse is super long Nice work and thanks for posting over here! Any pics of Earl/Trimble and/or the entire face from the col?

Whatever is in. People tend to get fixated on just one or two routes and as a result look at just those every weekend and maybe only get out once or twice all winter when everything (avy, weather, conditions) just happens to come together... you can honestly get out just about every weekend at least somewhere if you are willing to drive and look at as many objectives as possible. Also have a list of stuff that is way easier than what you listed and use those climbs as backups for the weekends when the weather/conditions is truly teh suck for your "to do list". Yeah the tooth is easy but go do it in absolute teh suck conditions. Lastly: if you are completely unfamiliar with the approach of a climb you are looking at it would behove you to go do it ASAP before more snow falls so you can get familiar with the approach, etc. Better yet take your GPS and get some way points so you can do the approach in the dark or less than ideal conditions. A lot of weather windows around here in the winter are so short that if you blow it on the approach you missed your window.

I dont know... I felt like I lost a few brain cells after listening to some of his commentary. Then again... it was likely less damage then I do reading some of these threads Awesome humble climber for sure though!

Enjoy the fun, but you do realize that single men die sooner than married men. I rather die young and happy then old and miserable
