    One time.....I fell unroped through a snowbridge into a bergschrund, bouncing between the rock and ice for about 30' down, until I became wedged tight. My ice tool had pierced the leash of my axe on my other wrist (but missing the flesh). Luckily, I was able to rotate my body just enough to free myself and had enough room to get a good stick into the ice to keep from sliding further into the abyss (once I carefully pulled the pick from my leash). Delicate stemming between rock and ice allowed me to work laterally (>100') to a spot where the schrund was a little less than vertical and I could climb out. I had the rope in my pack, so my wife at the surface wasn't of much help (I could hear her, she couldn't hear me). Interestingly, I had to work so far laterally from where I went in that when I popped out downhill and to the side of where my wife was, she thought I was another party and screamed that she needed help (she was standing just downhill of the hole I had made in the snow bridge). I had tweaked my ankle pretty good on the way in whey my crampon caught, but I was otherwise unhurt. I learned that you should rope up on a glacier.

    Alex- Trip reports were always filed into their geographic forums, even on the old site. The TR page you miss will be brought back in some form when the Admins have time. You can easily view what has happened on the site in the past 24 hours using the "Activity" tab. It can be customized. And thanks for finding the dead link on the main page.

    What an incredible tribute today to the man, the myth, the legend. Special thanks to our own Matt Perkins, Lowell Skoog, Colin Haley, and Don Serl for the heart felt and enlightening tributes to Fred and his impact on their own lives! Hopefully Lowell can put a link to his slideshow here once he clears all the permissions. It is well worth watching. The take home messages that stuck with me today: "Stay on route." "Fred was NOT a bum". "Old-timers are a renewable resource" And the funniest line, I thought (I may have it slightly wrong), came when John Rupley relayed how the police reacted finding him and Fred bivying in a picnic shelter in Banff: "They treated us nice because at least we weren't committing carnal acts like some people from the French portions of Canada". Great to put so many faces to names I only knew from Fred's books!

    Paging Polish Bob

    JasonG replied to billcoe's topic in Spray

    Bob is back! We need the fury from both sides of the aisle. Sorry to hear about the ankle Bob, I guess more time for beer is about the only upside.

    Yeah Curt!!! I love that the software upgrade is pulling TRs out of the woodwork. I hope this spreads since I know that it has been a horrible pain to post a TR in a very long time. The Leap has some amazing looking rock!

    But until CJB comes back and shows us he's a changed man, the abuse will continue......

    1908. Asa Peak. Original paper probably still up there along with the can, at least it was a few years ago.
  9. JasonG
    Oh, Ok forgot that step. Will do that for this one:
  10. JasonG
    Hahaha! summitchaserCJB! We need those photos Marc!

    It's Baaaaaaccccckk! Be sure to read cfire's story on page 2. ALL TIME CLASSIC CC.COM
  12. JasonG
    Yessssssss!!!!! found this..... and tagged it.
  13. JasonG
    Click on default in the Categories drop down and the entire list should populate. Everyone's "in"!

    FYI- The settings have been changed so that people can go back and edit TRs/posts up to 200 days ago. If you want to go back farther to clean up TRs, PM Oly and he can hook you up. The new site makes editing a breeze, so don't be afraid to go back and polish those old TRs!

    Take a deep breath Alex. It will take some getting used to as the bugs are worked out, but this is WAY better, trust us. The features you are looking for are on their way. It looks like your photos are indeed not displaying properly, but we can probably fix that without too much trouble.

    Whoah. That is quite a tale and a route! For me, the Beckey route looks like one to add to the list! And where is the link for the Bears Tooth TR?
  17. JasonG
    Great beta! I would like to do many of these peaks (in several trips!) so this is all really helpful.
  18. JasonG
    All I know is Colin and many uber-alpinists make a point of being in Cham in March. I guess that's when it is prime for the mixed routes. And if they aren't in shape, POWDER. If you want to climb the tourist routes (like me), then summertime is the probably the right time.

    Cool! It looks like if "Trip Reports" were a content type I could check the box and they would display in a list I could slice and dice?

    So selfless, you are.

    Whoah. The rumors of Timmy's untimely demise were obviously greatly exaggerated. Double rainbow indeed.
  22. JasonG
    You read that right. And remember how Morgan dropped us on the skin track that day? We're doing it all wrong!
  23. JasonG
    I was wondering when the memorial would be. Thanks Lowell!
  24. JasonG
    The beta is much appreciated on this overlooked gem! I remember standing at the col gazing up and thinking "some day..." I need to make it happen! So many lifetimes in our backyard.
  25. JasonG
    So, so awesome Jon. The sheer magnitude of content and beta here is mind boggling, not to mention all the first person FA accounts. Thanks for sticking with the site through thick and thin, and putting it on good footing for the next 17 years!
