    The thing is, if all y'all would look to the right of the video on youtube, where they have a link and and embed tag, you'd see that on the embed tag it says "embedding disabled by request" -- then you wouldn't have to guess which videos will show up properly and which won't.

    I doubt you'd get the names of the individual rescuers, but the sheriff's office that coordinated the rescue should be able to tell you what units were involved. You could then make a donation to those units and possibly try to get the individuals' names from those units directly.

    They have offices in the building that I work in in Bellevue. Sobo, if you want to get me a copy of your badge, I could access your offices after hours and retrieve the print jobs. We could have ourselves a tidy source of supplemental income in these tough economic times.

    Trip: Hyalite Canyon, MT -

     

    Date: 1/30/2009

     

    Trip Report:

    Having been bitten by the Hyalite ice bug back in December, I knew I had to get back out there. Finally managed to do that this past weekend, when five of us headed out for three days of climbing. We drove out there, leaving on Thursday afternoon and returning Sunday night.

     

    Friday afternoon was spent at Genesis I. We put up a couple of top ropes on the left side of the flow as warm up and ran laps the rest of the day. The entire G1 area is thoroughly picked out and you can hook your way to to the top of all of the routes.

    The next day had us return to G1 to try some of the harder flows to the right. Some people did well, but my lardball ass kept me from getting too far off the ground. In the afternoon we moved to Genesis II, where we ran out the day. With a weather system moving in Saturday was colder and far windier.

    On Sunday we headed out to the Amphitheater, where we climbed on Fat Chance. Fat Chance was a very enjoyable line. We had plans to check out Mummy 1 and 2 but never got around to it as we had too much fun here. Mustache Ride looked like there wasn't very much holding the top in place against the rock, and the climbs were all a little wet.

    Overall, another excellent trip to Hyalite. The ice is fat, the road is plowed, go climb.
