  1. VE-25 is tight for 3 people.

    It's listed as a 3man tent, and if being cozy is fine, then 3 is ok. but it really is a 2man with space tent.

    As for durable, VE-25 is a time tested design.

     

    From what I gather from online info, the exped. is $80more,

    same square footage, 1 extra pole.

    ^^If those are correct, then I'd go with the VE-25 hands down

     

     

    There you go..................................................you just shopped on your own.

  2. BTW..... I want to do this again next weekend, or perhaps as an idea to ponder......how about---

     

    Skin up to Muir Friday night, and I bring a small grill, with charcoal and the works.....you just have to bring your own meats.

    It should be fun......BTW...Consider bringing some extra coals just incase you want a solid piece of beef.........FYI

     

    Im bringing it regardless of you guys, so think ahead................................

    ........................................why not party?

  3. Well the BS'ing screached to a halt the moment I began throwing one leg infront of the other about 7:30ish from JVC, and found myself alone at Pebble Creek within 45 minutes.

    For some reason, my anabolic threshhold has gotten better, and so I found myself humming some crazy Led Zep song for a little bit, and it worked.

    Made it to Mclure rock soon enough while skinning my ass off all morning, and testing my old BD Ascension skins which I must say.....are about to fall apart.

    They gripped and never slipped, not even on the steepest slopes, and I was damn pleased.

    Made it to Muir a little before 10AM, fixed breakfast, found some time to BS with climbers, and then just pointed down hill.

    Now mind you, I just screwed together a set of BD Arc ascents at 167 with a pair of Fritshi Express bindings and was giving the setup it's 1st whirl.

    I made a few turns on the sorta cornish snow, and got used to their radius design, and before you knew it I was beaming past Anvil, Mclure, had to hop a few rocks, and was down to just about Pebble Creek within 6 minutes, which ripped because as I did fly by's on all the RMI heards heading up --- And could just imagine what they were saying to themselves.......

    ..........."That guy is having a hell of a time up here".

     

    The weather was chilly, but moderate, and the snow began to show signs of melting around 9AM.

     

    Met tons of folks and had a great time.

    Just wished that it would have lasted a little longer, but now I am drinking a fresh cold beer at home, and thinking about my totally solid morning up on the hill.

     

    That's my TR
