Well, I was lucky enough to be the first one to come across this kid as he started to glissade from the false summit on his way back down. He was litterally 20 feet below the false summit when he messed up his ankle. Nice guy...he was out from GA visiting a friend and "wanted to test the snow hardness" before taking his crampons off. The snow set up nice and hard the night before and was quite solid from the lunch counter up to the false summit. I managed to gather together some climbers and we got the guy splinted and warm. As for the helicopter, I think the origional plan was to take him up the 20' to the false summit so he wasn't sliding down with the bad ankle. Five hours later we'd lowered him down to the lunch counter where we waited for them to make the call on getting him out of there. The funniest thing was how long it took for someone to make the decision on how to get him out of there. We didn't know if rangers were coming up or if he was getting lifted out for ever. Lesson learned...take a rope on easy climbs because you may have to rescue someone. We were luck to run into the guy we did...he had splints, tape, rope, all sorts of things for a walk up. Everyone else who passed (as well as myself) had minimal gear.

Well, before I go out and pay FFR for a pair of shoes I figured I'd try here. Anyone have a pair of size 43 Trango Extreme Evo GTX's or Trango S Evo GTX's that never quite fit. I'm also willing to chase down leads if you know of a local shop whose clearing these things out. Thanks

Bummer...I'm fairly certain she'd need a small.

What size are they/you? Baggy or tight fit? Where in BC are you? I'm near Abbotsford/Algergrove

Looking to buy new or like new women's small (4-6) waterproof pants. Prefer Gore with a durable facing fabric but comprable Patagonia is cool.

I have the Shure e2c's and they're awesome! I run, ride, sit and type with them...can't be beat. The up around the ear thing helps them stay in while active. They are also awesome on customer service. I has a slight issue with the cable getting crimped and they hooked me up...well worth the $$$

"Meanwhile I'm getting pissed, and a lot louder, and if you don't know me, I'm a pretty intimidating looking dude" smelling like cheap beer, wearing a nascar t-shirt that's two sizes too small, and rockin' that mullet..I'll say you're scarry.
