Try carrying a 90lb pack up Desolation Peak and babysitting a BBC film crew for two days, including removing the used tea bag ornaments they'd hung in trees after use, while filming a documentary on Jack Kerouac. Does that count as experience? What was really funny was how they filmed out of sequence so that the narrator had a vicious sunburn in the early scenes and was lily white by the end.

Here's some wisdom I can share: we have this thing called "Winter" around here, so it sounds like you're interested in a "winter ascent" of the North Ridge of Baker, which requires (perhaps) some important skills of "Winter Alpinism" that your AAI experience may not have instilled in you.

I think I saw there stashed approach shoes when I was up there on Monday. I wonder what they were wearing to hike the North Ridge?

I've spent the last three years thinking it was under my bedliner and defending myself against repeated spurious allegations. Nice route, way to get after it!

News sources are reporting that the "child" is a product of incest. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Chuck led left past some awkward face climbing over the abyss to the left-most chimney. I remember putting my boot on a smear right on the edge of nothing and looking between my legs at 1000' of plummeting. The next pitch I pulled off a massive belayer slayer. SPICY!
