S1W

I don't think BD ever expected the ATC Sport to be a hit in North America. It was produced to meet demand in the European market.

Looks like it has been sunny all day in Leavenworth, and the forecast looks good for the weekend. However, the web cam only shows the tops of the mountains in the Icicle (which are snowy). Can anyone who lives over there make any educated guesses as to how dry some of the Icicle crags will be this weekend? Any chance that Pearly Gates will dry out by Sunday? Thanks!

Anyone in the Seattle area want to go cragging for the day on Friday? Looks like its going to be a nice day.

The whole notion of climbers and style points is kinda funny. Climbers are obsessive geeks that just go climbing. You can not look cool or stylish while doing the following things: driving with a mattress on top of your car, riding an exercise bike, using an elliptical runner, having a bout of diarrhea, putting on socks...and climbing up or crawling away from mountains and struggling to survive. All of these things, climbing/crawling/surviving included, are just things that you gotta do sometimes. Basketball players, etc have style. Anyway, just sayin'...

Exactly. Ya know, MIIII-chael, spring would be a good time to come back - leave the SLC summer and come back to the PNW summer.

Dru, Thanks for the updates - scheduled to make the drive to Golden tomorrow morning. What is the best source for BC highway updates?

I just got these and have only skied them a few times - they simply don't fit. They're pretty much brand new.
