  1. Its not an unusual thing folks....Its's time for bears to ready themselves for winter.....

     

    I wouldnt be surprised if a bear sighting culminates into a bear attack up on the summit.....that would be the darnest thing to explain to the park service.

  2. I dont disagree with you Tyree, I just like the lighter stuff for 8-10 day tours, and drop in on 50+ deg slopes all the time (which included the Mowich face on rainier), and have discovered that the freerides were a bit overkill for the touring that I do, plus I never set my din above 9 anyway......I love my knees.

     

    One thing is for sure, Fritschi's will out perform Dynafits anyday.

  3. With dynfits, you have only one sole length that you can use for the bindings (drilling)....

    Get a pair of fritschis and you can adjust within a few different sole lengths....do you really wanna risk an acl inj with a high din of 14?

     

    Go with a pair of fritschi explorers (lighter than free rides) and have a decent din of 10 which I must admit from prior use on 60ft hucks, they never released.

     

    There ya go.

  4. we might all do well think about how we'd express ourselves if the deceased's family were in a room with us

    There are always lessons to be learned and CONSTRUCTIVE ideas to be expressed, but I think within the overall context, this statement has merit.

     

     

  5. ........"Really Bad"= Anal x 2 Days

     

    Seriously, I don't think there is a clear cut answer, however.....

     

    I stuff my gear at the trail head, and however long it takes to get to my chosen camp is how long it's stuffed.

     

    I made the mistake of stuffing the heck out of my -20 bag for a 16 hr transit to Mckinley, left it as is, at base camp hours after arriving, it was no fun making that puppy spring back into shape.......

     

    ......Compress+Time+Lack of Anality+Cold= No Fun
