Just saw a report on the Edmonton news. Climber killed by rockfall on the North Face of Athabasca. Another climber seriously injured and flown to Edmonton.

This is the guy you want for a minimal rap setup.

I've been training my cascade family-jewels for a trip to Cho Ohface, on my own, for some time. I do not believe in PAYING FOR THIS ATTEMPT. Can I join your expedition?

Agreed. So we've got nothing to hide, right?

Are you set on getting plastic boots for a particular reason? Leather mountaineering boots might be worth considering, unless you are climbing in extreme cold.

Thanks peas One useful reply out of 10. I think that's about standard for cc.com.

Me too.

I can't wait for fall and winter. I like summer OK, but skiing and ice climbing are my favs.

AF are you confusing Wild Bill Horsecock with Buffalo Bill Cody? It doesn't really matter. I don't think either of them are buried at the high altitude aclimitizazation center on the tippy top of Pikes Peak.

It would be even cooler to go in winter.

I think that the idea of aclimitizating by drinking beer in Leadville will work great. You could also trick your body into thinking it is higher than the 10,500 ft. of Leadville by smoking. This an advanced altitudimizating technique wich I'm sure is not practiced by those lame PAY-TO-CLIMB companies. Good luck on Cho Oye-como-va.

Thanks, I already googled Edmonton and I was hoping that there was more there than just a big mall. Guess not.

I have to go to Edmonton, Alberta for 4 days next week. Any info on cool things to do/see would be appriciated. Climbing or non-climbing related info... I'll take it all.

check yo PMs

When are you leaving?

Serious question... do you get powder days off or are you guys on a half-day powder day system?

No good deed goes unpunnished.

You could use a broom to sweep off those steps.

cj if you want to sound cool you should refer to the Pres as POTUS and the Secretary of Defecnse as SecDef. Ooooh I'm so Clancy right now.
