  1. "never eat anything larger than your head" Miss Piggy.
  2. Mawson's Will by Lennard Bickel ... not climbing, but a must read... makes Simpsons epic look like a stroll in the park. ISBN 1-58642-000-3 .
  3. Wow... I also had an un-planned urban bivy in Victoria, B.C. after a brawl (exposed sidewalk under street light) but the man rescued me and put me up in thier hotel for the night, which in turn set up a second rescue by buddies at 9 a.m. the following morning.... what did I learn ? Much better to get drunk alone in the desert and fight with your own demons...
  4. Hey... I want to do this as a loop in early Oct... let me know how it went please.... later
  5. Got stuck on Saskatewan Glacier over night after climbing Sky Ladder, Mt. Andromeda (11,200) Columbia Ice Fields, CND. Dumb... carried no biv gear. Made igloo by rolling large snow balls and stacking them... cold night... spread out our ropes and packs to insulate us somewhat from snow. What did I learn...? Always plan an alternate decent in case you can't use the one you planned on !!! Don't tell your wife what happend....
  6. hey... I can't do anything this weekend but I'm looking for climbing/ scrambling partners. I'm climbing about the same level as you and will travel, send a pm... later.
