just follow the herd
The Alpine 4000m Peaks by the Classic routes is old, but useful.
Hochtouren im Wallis by Hermann Biner is in german and better (Hochtouren ~= alpine climbs in german)

Smoking is good for us

I've also never stored my skins in the fridge. Maybe my basement is cool enough. One set is at least 5 years old, the other 2 years. Glue is just fine.
I only started doing that after living in a place where my un-AC'd appartment got to 100 regularly during the summer and cooked my skins - leaving them needing regluing after 2 days on snow
the only skins I've had with the mesh came with it on and left a few little bits of mesh in the skinb glue

throw away shitty mesh.
stick together.
if its warm stick in fridge.

How do they sleep at night?
I imagine they get fellated to sleep by the prostitutes of their choice after the finest food the world can provide.
In short, pretty well.

for a true powder board fatter would likely be better. length wise perhaps the shorter, depending on agressiveness?
some of the K2s - Phat Luv or whatever?

The author actually does some research and, sadly, her attack--while sensational--is not that unusual for women in parks and secluded areas.
Being male I'd always thought it overblown until recently when someone I'd met "disappeared" and is presumed dead in an "avalanche" in a region with 1,000s of soldiers. In this case it may well have been an avalanche, but knowing a bit about the region and politics I wouldn't be surprised that a number of the others who "disappeared" were victims of foul play.
That said, I'm curious the overall rate of such incidences.

My father in-law has one. Its an ok car. Get the diesel model.
At least you wont have to worry about anyone stealing it.
Heh - typical VW group issues?
I want the turbo-diesel 4x4 version.

Minx.....ever heard of a debit card? It can be used as a credit card.
No, they can't.
Yes is can and does.....Any time I have been asked for a major credit card, for hotel, car rental, airplane tickets……my debit card works just fine. They do not seem to know it is a debit card.
So you can charge something to your debate card without the funds ever being removed from your account? Bullshit. Plus you can get miles, cash or other things back from using your credit card, also good.
Debit Cards can be processed as Credit Cards; they don't act the same.

No, they can't. They'll just place a hold on your account of $XXX which is a pretty stupid use of money.

I've got one of Tom's sweet Imlay floating rope bags if you'd like to borrow it.
That or a short rope are nice for quickly moving through alot of short raps in a canyon.

Garmont Adrenalin Randonee boots - size 27 - $175.
They've got ~100 days on them. The liners are Raichle Thermoflexs that have been baked 3x and the fabric is has worn away on the inner left heel on each boot. They come with 3 soles - DIN compatible (unused), Vibram (worn but still rubber at the toes) and the original Vibram (mostly worn out at the toe).
Located in Seattle Lake City area, PM me for info

There are a number of good local providers available depending on where you are that ofter advantages over AIARE (PADI on ICE!) or NSP (highly variable instructional quality). Not that either of those are bad, they just don't necessarily offer any advantages over other sources and get fucking real, top notch? AIARE has the same curriculum across the US.
If you specify where you are you'd get more useful advice.

Me want. Badly.

I've never taken an AIARE course but they had no problem taking my money to register so I'm not sure what your point is.
I think it's silly to say the students are coming from the same background when you have courses offered in Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, New Hampshire and France and the course is so short. Seriously - expecting to find layers in a typical WA snowpack? Got a backhoe? Expecting to find anything but ice in NH?
