Favorite line of the TR: "started apologizing profusely, weeping and blubbering like a schizophrenic on a bad acid trip. I didn't want to say the wrong thing, so I just wrung out my sweaty shirt into our empty nalgene bottle, took a swig and offered him a drink, which he accepted gratefully."

Nice man! One of my favorite aspects as a parent was your hushed encouragment behind the camera. Awesome! Congrats to your son!

I just sold all my beastie boys CD's so Boner would think I am cool. rip MCA

Take skis, all that road walking is a bitch, especially in slow shoes.

All good points. I have had and enjoyed the guide tennies and would have to say that I never did roll my ankle in those. Lower/thinner sole than the Boulder X, especially in the heel area. I found them good enough to climb comfortably in the 5.7/8 range. I have to wonder if the same would be true in a mid top shoe. I suppose I could always consider continuing to wrap the ankle if I was really worried about it, although I have not had too in quite a while. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Ah, gene is a good egg and if anyone deserves s good ribbing I am a good candidate. You do have a point about the road under the snow lad.

I was wearing my boulder x's when I really rolled it good. To the tune of going on 9 months of pt exercise and still only 80%. I could agree with the center of gravity thought.

So I am looking for something a little kinder to my roll prone ankles and am considering one of the choices offered by 5.10. Ayone have any experience with either of these or maybe an option I have not thought of. I have had the guide tennies and am a big fan although they were not the most durable of shoes. I currently have been using a pair of Boulder x's but the toe box is slightly uncomfotable for me and neither of these shoes is offereing me the ankle support I am looking for. Any thoughts?

FS says snow blocks/closes road close to road 13.

and 4 strap thingies that you can use for lots of stuff. (not sure what you call them)

Sorry - kindergarten teacher here. Got to keep it "G" rated!

Since the secret is out:

I think we have a smartass in our midst. Disregard the Dirty Wet post.

Nah, daughters 2nd birthday party this weekend. I have a buddy looking to take some friends skiing up that way so I thought I would ask. You heading to Icicle?

What are you still doing here?

Right on guys! Good news indeed! Thanks Mark and co. Riley - PM me I would like to get in contact. Cheers, Tyson

Anyone know the condition of the road to Schriebers?

@ Wayne I was going to say yes, then I got it too.

JoshK, I WAS stoked when you called me a whiny bitch! Respect the birds......go climb one of the many other options we have in the area.

For a small light camera I dig my Canon A1200. Does decent pics/vid, lots of options regarding settings and manual control. It is not too much $.
