  2. Trip: Mt. Adams - Southwest Chutes Date: 7/7/2012 Trip Report: Ok there are tons of TR's on this, but rather than writing I will let the photos tell the story. Enjoy! mtnsaremyhome.blogspot.com Gear Notes: Sticks to slide on. Approach Notes: Car, good luck parking on a busy day.
  3. Trip: Squamish BC - A few Classics, Diedre, Woody Mountain High..etc. Date: 6/12/2012 Trip Report: So Juneuary is in full force, I had hoped to be skiing or climbing more but the weather is not helping much. Oh well. We caught a little window last weekend and had some fun. Nothing too exciting, just some early season rock stoke, we live in a wonderful place!! Enjoy below http://mtnsaremyhome.blogspot.com/ Gear Notes: Rack + Beer + Salsa & Chips Approach Notes: Car and Passport
  4. Jason, just curious what your doing instead? Arunas is the man, he and Jason compliment each other very well, such different styles and skills, its like yin and yang. Very cool. Thanks all for the support! The work and time so far required has been pretty ridiculous, but I think its also really rewarding and enjoyable to be creating things from scratch with your hands. Its crazy to look back and see many pieces of work we've done in the last two months it feels like its been ages. I hope things go well in June! Sorry why the link doesn't seem to work for some navigators, I've been to it with Mozilla, Chrome and Internet Explorer and never had a problem, but if anyone has suggestions let me know. I just added the most recent project, a backcountry ski and climbing one piece suit out of Tyvek, I think it came out pretty good, blending form and function is always difficult so a little bit of function was sacrificed for fashion, but in general that's not how I like to work. Cheers!
  5. Nick, my hand renderings are ok, I haven't had that much practice. They changed perspective and rendering 2 to a junior class, so they only teach grayscale marker renderings for a few weeks right at the end of fall quarter, and the rest is mostly line drawings. Bummer to be #14, but looks like your doing just fine if this is your site? http://nickhallphotography.com/ veryyyyy nice images. Thanks for the support!
  6. So I've been stuck inside for the last two months spending a ridiculous about of time on school work (actually more like a year). I am in an Industrial/Product design program. We have a big review where 30+ students get cut down to 12 in June, so that has put the fear of God in all of us. Anyway I hope to pursue outdoor gear in the future. I have posted a lot of my projects and renderings on my blog. I figured some of you other gear heads out there might enjoy browsing. Cheers! Kirk

  11. Thanks all, it was a great trip! I lurk a lot on here and I know its nicer to have TR's directly on the page with photos, but after loading and editing it all once for the blog I was out of energy to do it again, so sorry about that...
  12. Wayne, it was our original plan to climb both summits like you, a few things contributed to our decision not to. Time: we ran into a rock band followed by a pretty big cornice right at the top of the saddle, we could have climbed it but it would have been a very dangerous down climb, or the added time of another rap, as it was we had a 16hr day moving pretty quick most of the time, you rapped down the south face, with descending the thread we then had to go back up the n col of the Outto, down the s face(rap again) and across the basin and back up to the chopping block. Gear: we prob went a bit too light, we only had one 60m 8mil rope, 1 pin, 5 nuts, 2 cams, 2 sticks and 2 rap rings. Climbing rock in ski boots is not very inspiring, we weren't sure how much of the rack we would burn on the decent(we found pretty good horns and natural stuff so it worked ok), also from the photos you guys used two doubles, so we guessed whatever you had left for anchors would be for full length raps. haha and finally we were both getting pretty sketched out at that point and just wanted to get the ski down done
