So, are you guys Chamoniardes for the forseeable future? Or does it just happen that you are "stuck" in Chamonix?

Yet again, the dynamic duo with an incredible ascent!! Wow seems insufficient. Inconceivable? Thanks again for taking the time to post such detail and beautiful imagery for us armchair types to oogle. That climbing looks quite legit and insecure. Well done! Way to stay safe throughout a grand adventure.

And lucky! Can't forget that part. Without it, I wouldn't be typing this. Thanks for the great blast from the past, post some more stories please!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

It is looking like I'll have to build that fence I've been putting off for years. I'm running out of slides to digitize..... first world problems for sure in light of what is going on!

Closer, for sure, thanks for the vote of confidence. The new camera really upped the number of keepers, but I need to figure out how to organize it around a theme or how to even approach it, what software to use, etc. Suggestions welcome! Truth is, it is also a bit daunting. But maybe one of these days....

We've all got low-T now. My wife says that's OK.

We've outlawed all forms of fun in WA

That is a pretty cool little camera, I hadn't even heard of those before. I guess I would tend to gravitate towards something like a Canon S120 (which I have), G7X, or Sony RX100V and put it on my shoulder strap or gear sling when the going gets too technical for my dSLR in front. But certainly something to keep in mind!

Ha! They have zero sympathy for my addiction and are always suspicious when I am around. And totally understandable about the larger pack. It certainly complicates things when they get that big! Hard to compete with the likes of BD for the price/effort.

Probably go outside. But this is a close second. Certainly better than working!

I'm always impressed by your creations @kmfoerster. So cool! Maybe a 50L version for people who carry too much camera gear?

Why does it matter so much to you? This isn't the AAJ, and a post like yours does nothing except stir the pot.... to what end?

Good luck with that. I doubt people will be locked down, legal or not, all summer.

EVERYONE IS RIGHT! GROUP HUG......CLIMB ON IN YOUR OWN WAY PEEPS! (after the governor says it's OK)

DAMN!!!! And great images too, are those yours mostly?

Doesn't the mountain running community have this dialed? I use a hydration bladder and hose so haven't looked into the options.

Very true, thanks for posting that!

Love these evocative descriptions of listening to these excellent tunes!

That makes him perfect the example. Life is messy.....and you often don't die the way everyone expects you to. Most importantly, we are all going to die no matter what we do.

Great album of collected stuff more than 20 years old at this point. In the mid to late 90's there was little as compelling in the Seattle scene, at least in my small world. I thought one day Issac would combust on stage as the fire burned him from the inside out.

My feelings on the climb as well, and that was before I had kids! Good job not getting the chop, there is plenty of opportunity on that one.

Not a great idea. If this keeps up, the USFS has said that they will block the road below the snowline and ruin it for everyone.

Although I've never met him, I am pretty sure that @landoclimb isn't doing it because of any encouragement online. The first swing into that rimey swiss cheese will bring that into clear focus. There is a long climbing tradition of the young and the keen soloing where the consequences are clear and unforgiving- much to the vexation of parents everywhere. Doesn't make it right or wrong, it just is. I don't think that is lost on anyone, let alone this young man. And, we've been around this bush with the likes of @Colin, @marc_leclerc and many others over the years. They didn't listen either.

That's pretty funny @Kameron! I actually talked to Tabski on the Eldo trail as you hiked in to slay that dragon last year. I should have introduced myself! We were coming out of the Forbidden tour..... And I might be convinced to check that out with you..... if you don't mind going dad speed.
