  1. Suffering makes us stronger.....

     

    You know what?.....I used to shit talk the Euros because they smell, talk shit about Americans, their cars are small, they speak a different language.....

     

    .......But after all these years they have earned my deep respect in terms of light and fast climbing styles.......And they have no problem suffering up on a route, and totally move faster than most of us.

     

    Sorta makes me sad to hear that folks are taking so much crap with them on routes, or tours to feel comfy, and at home.

     

    Hell, why don't we just dehydrate some McDonalds double quarter pounders from the drive thu on the way to the mountain and take em' with us........

     

    ......Even better.....Supersize the dang thing!

  2. Now ERICB is a thinking person.

     

    Here's my advice.....An now I'm being serious:

     

    Purchase a six pack of beer/ bottled or cans;

     

    Lay all the gear you (plan) to take with you on a trip right infront of you on the floor in a room with a lock, lock the door, and tell everyone that you will be ok, and not to bother you for a couple of hours.

     

    Think it all out...work it out, think of every scenario, etc...

     

    ...And I swear you will come out with a light pack fit for your needs.

     

    The days of heavy packs for skiers/ climbers are over....

     

    ....People just have to admit that all they wanna do is accomplish their chosen climb/ trip.

     

    If you decide to look good doing it........Then I will personally send you a check towards a car wash, so you can look great while car camping.

  3. Mine fits inside as well, and its not an inflatable.

     

    Funny thing is.....Most of the folks which I ski/climb with carry 40L packs, pads on the outside, and can still smoke a 4 day route, and that's with ice tools/skis and everything.

     

    I guess it depends on a persons will (judgement), or lack of there of.

  4. This weather is depressing.........I mean........Just makes me wanna head down to UT for the winter again.

     

    Damn!

     

    The winter I worked down in PC, I was hitting the backcountry by Nov. The thing that kills me is that, that summer I was working at Paradise, and it dumped, and dumped on Oct 10th....! 24" Over night!!!

     

    Well, I that's it for my venting tonight.

     

    If anyone wants to find me, I'll be building a snowman just above the DC with it's middle finger sticking up towards the north.
