quit worrying your pretty little head over man stuff and get back in the kitchen to cook dinner, tamara

Oddly the lever change mode is one of the known failure points on the Duke

No experience with them, but which trekking peak? From my experience the logistic experience is pretty similar in country, you just pay varying amounts of $

Ouch. Carpenters are fucked. Flip side is some lawyers going to get rich off of the litigation

Sounded like it was more Ladakh side - haven't found a good list of the actual peaks. If the Chinese start lobbing shells things could get nuclear sunburn quick.

Marker AT bindings suck big fat floppy donkey dick. Dynafits tour better but aren't ideal for what you want. If you want something step in/step out Fritschi. Markers suck ass

Nice link feck I bet they did not open it for a couple of days. WOW. heh. despite that it's safer skiing there than driving in Kazakhstan

$43/day budget is doable, but perhaps unenjoyable allin, in this day in age. Including transport it'll be mostly crappy transport, lodging and not much booze. The worlds changed and places aren't nearly as cheap as they were. And that was before the $ went down the shitter. STILL WORTH IT! GO! GO NOW!

bad move at rebranding on my part

feels good to see that again

Peter_Puget? Always beating the same shitty tune

We can't all be as clever as you and drop some homoerotic reference I thank you for taking my obsessive posting crown away

go eat some drywall the every erudite KK

and what I was saying was you can stay at a hut in the mountains in the alps for $65 a day. Or less. And the 'instruction' in India is bullshit. eh, pay for beer and there's a ton of dumbcunt poms who'll "instrutct" you

Why not the Alps? They are close to you, have great access, bountiful terrain, and you could gain a wealth of experience quickly. Then you can go on and climb things yourself. Wouldn't put that much stock in to any formal mountaineering in India; a 5000m peak there won't necessarily offer much of a challenge either. If you are still interested there's also: http://www.adventurehimalaya.org/aboutwhmi.asp Near Manali so is easier to get to from Delhi/major airport

Hasn't it been practically impossible to find a decent place to live in Revelstoke the past couple winters? The trailertrash playground known as Golden... not so much

I guess you and Fairweather do have something in common

you get more disingenuous by the day. SS: government entitlement of benefits. primary investment US treasuries Privatized: lowest risk US treasuries. The former has lower risk than the latter. The latter provides plenty of opportunity for worthless Wall Street shits to profit from a government mandated program.... so they cna be pseudo-freemarket overpaird admin assistants and you won't get your tax manties in a bunch

What next? Fairweather coming out of the closet?

plumbing new depths of irony

The irony here is that putting all of those funds into Uncle aSam's Cookie jar made it much easier to fund all of the wars, etc than it would have been if the money were in private accounts subject to all of the protections that bank accounts, homes, and other personal property are covered by. wars that you supported? no irony except in the dumb canuck known as Alanis who doesn't understand irony sense

erm, that's exactly what SS is which is why it needed "reform" under Dear Leader W

More proof positive that libtards like Hot Carl are racists pigs down to their rotten core. Look on the bright side - at least he's not threatening to 'cape your ass on the Inter Glacier'. I thought libtards hated white people too?

KK just likes to argue
