yes, you're off your rocker for instantly hopping on the defensive and taking a humorous post about a couple of absurdly named and themed candidates off the primary ballot and turning it into some everybody is a zealot, republicans are bad, we need more social programs rant. while government is agreed good. big government meddling in every facet run by career politicians with special interests in mind over the good of the people is bad. but the post was not about that or even close. it was about the humor of the possibility of Senator Goodspaceguy or Senator "Milkshake" Mike The Mover being sworn in. Both Democratic candidates btw. you spend too much time in Spray, go outside and live life.

wicked

you're off your rocker j_b

Ptarmigan Traverse

Tough choice though... Goodspaceguy -or- Mike The Mover

only because you know BD's secrets John... and yes I'm a little jealous

@denalidave - bummer man. Momentum was my first harness and still have it as a loaner. all 4 of my reg partners use them and love them and i bought the Primrose (womens version) for the fiance. not one issue with any of them. i'm gonna say you got jipped! i only upgraded to one of the new fancy arcteryx ones because i'm a gear whore...

go for the Sabertooth over the Serac. i like the Petzl Reverso over the ATC, lighter. for a harness, BD Momentum is a good all-arounder and quite light all for $50.

Damn.

impressive! look fwd to steph"s shots

paradise to muir in under 2hrs in more of a feat than the ski imo you a mad man as always

be safe out there D...you are tearing stuff up right now! i got the GoPro Hero HD Wide...gimme a shout and feel free to borrow it...would love to see this stuff in wide angle 1080p!!

damn dam...

from the rap off trees just above the slab you'd be fine. from the first bolts should be good. there is a second set of chains/bolts as the 3rd/last station which I dont think a 50 will touch bottom from. was just up there with 60 and I dont think there was more than 10-15 ft left as extra on the last rap.

fantastic TR and photos. quite inspiring to make the long haul in there. thanks.

Stubai or Grivel I've beat the snot out of my Stubai's, no bent or broken points after many trips over scree and talaus. The Grivels are nice if its just for snow. Better anti-balling plates.

Eldo, Sahale, Whitehorse, Sisters Range, Adams Those are fun one (long) day outings...nice to crash at the TH for the longer ones

yup! just got a PM from Jared. thanks Kurt.

stellar shots

atta girl V! no bacon???

SEWS and Liberty Bell are warm and dry. Approached that and LB in tennies but was a little sketch in the AM going up between LB and Concord. There is only snow for the last couple hundred feet though. Was hard before the sun hit it but did it just fine taking it easy. Much more snow though heading to SEWS but still fine in tennies. There was a guy up there in Chacos. All the routes look free and clear of snow. Blue Lake Trail is snow free.

I was on the South Arete, you guys were on something hard. Spoke from across the way. Got those pics, shoot me a PM if ya see this and I'll email ya. Troy

dang... well done Dan!

wow. wayne could be the king of traverses. very impressive outing and amazing pictures.

awesome Kurt, dig the shots!
