i spent time with Clint in Ouray and Matt out this way...was in the same boat as you...no experience on the ice and needed a crash course so i could get to climbing...San Juan has great programs in CO...you get your money's worth...i think over three days we spent 20 hours geared up...having it been my first real time out i was wasted by the end of my time with them but came away with more than i bargained for...that and there are so many people climbing you can hook up with anybody for some TR practice after...and Telluride is not to far away...hotels offer deals for ice park members...park is withing walking distance from most place...countless backcountry opportunities within a short drive i ante'd up the dough and felt it was well worth it...having started late in the game...but that's the price you pay for missing out for all the years prior!!

Whitest Person in the World Vote Conan O'Brien or Sally Fields? Hmmm...

if it's a pigment lacking competition we're in...i think Conan O'Brien wins...

sweet! thanks...new project for ice prep...making note of the 2"

as far as your question Dan...30ish...but not for any specific climbing goal...just lifting

i like that idea for ice...was looking for a way to mimic the grip...how do you have them mounted?

sweet intro to the alpine tvash...Max has got to be stoked!

i dunno...woody gets pretty creative with a banjo! [video:youtube]

it's the new fad...all the cool kids are doing it http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6625077.html

i know how to end the "to destroy or not destroy" the rock debate tho... ICE CLIMB!!

i know a few people whose bong scars will never fade... That is so sad. I know a few too many. Here we are at fifty and they are still suckin down a bong first thing in the morning. the guys i know are in their 30's who cant hold a job...which is a bummer cuz they are quite capable peeps i dont know though man...we might have new market here...give them another 20 years and trade in the magic brownies for magic metamucil??

had a buddy fly in from MI for Rainier who bagged our trip at the top of the cleaver...he now has a complex after showing him this pic too cool Bug!

i know a few people whose bong scars will never fade...

Dane said 'igit'...i love that word i'm still amazed at the shit you guys accomplished at the birth of the ice age with gear you did that and the FA's all across the world before goretex and capilene i feel spoiled being able to head into the hills for 2-3 days on a 35 pound pack... i think it'd be a feat for some of todays cutting edge alpinists to put together a vintage rack and aunsamble and repeat some of the hardman routes in a tribute to those that pioneered the way

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bal-sword-killing0917,0,16472.story that's an updated one written today...from a few posts up first one said he heard noises and found the guy in his garage now it was released they went looking for him and found him outside and confronted him
