    Yeah, Muir Tomorrow morning....early.

     

    Skin up, BS, ski down, BS some more.....lol

     

    Hey MT38

    .....I'd love to pick ya up man, but I live 1/2 hour away from the hill, and plan to be up skinning by 7AM.

    If anyone happens to be going up tomorrow, then I guess we will cross paths one way or another.

    No doubt Korup.!

     

    I actually have another question:

     

    I found a pair of Blackdiamond Arc Ascents for sale in a 167.....

     

    Would anyone have some input on them as well?

     

    I love to rando on tele skis, and just wondered about this model....sorry about all the inquiries.....just don't wanna make a mistake on a purchase.

    Thanks alot Camilo.

     

    I just wanted to hear if anyone has used them and not broken them...lol

     

    I plan to get a set of 167's to just be a bit lighter than my normal pair of 176's, and will be using a pair of Fritschi Express binders, and should be good with that for an occasional jaunt up the hill.

     

    I appreciate your input~!

    Whats the story with this ski?

     

    Has anyone here ever used a pair?

     

    I am planning to buy a pair just to skin from hut to hut, and perhaps make a few rounds from Paradise to Muir this winter.

     

    Just wondering if I huck off of something, if this ski would shatter or whatever...lol!

     

    Anyway..Sounds like a nice deal for 200 bux for a pair of light 167's.

     

    Well perhaps someone could discourage me, or encourage the deal.....

     

    Let me know..

     

    Thanks.

    soloing rainier in august: hardcore or stupid???

    in Mount Rainier NP

    Heck, I have Soloed the DC, Success Cleaver, Emmons Winthrop, and have camped on the summit solo.

     

    Stupid?.....Perhaps.

     

    Qualified for a solo permit?.....I thought so, and so did the rangers.

     

    Did I feel fear and lonelyness followed by the voices of dead climbers?.....Yes

     

    Did I cache a six pack, and had cigaretts on me at all time?.....Yes

     

     

    Just do it if your ready man, give it a try, worst case......you may not like the idea of it once you are underway, and that ok too.

     

    I have been seen "spinning" from solo efforts before, just because I didnt feel like it that day, just listen to yourself.
