Thanks for posting the details. I was wondering what had happened. Hope your partner heals up quick.

classic

nice work Darin!

Bryan only uses spurs when he swaggers into them thar bozeman saloons

what'd you think of the cams P? any initial impressions? probably not a lot of placements for em on city park eh?

more info w/ video http://www.totemcams.com/index.htm

does anyone have a story to tell from Mt. Kent on Sunday?

Damn Bryan, that is rad!

NEWS FLASH! Limp Wristed Arm Chair Nannies show the TRUE history of City Park with photographs!! close up! These photos give irrefutable 200 proof.

wait a minute here....

second ascent in Seattle has (or had) the DMMs. I tried the laser sonic but my hand kept flying/slipping off the hanger while trying to place it. which ninja technique did you apply to deal with that?

this one isn't bad If you combine that with the BD video you will get pretty good information.

I think you guys all need to go climb in Goat Basin. oh wait, y'all have, once!

I've had no luck with sharpening by file. tried the dremel method and it actually is very easy and works great. The metal doesn't get hot at all with the reinforced sanding disc. First try was a little ugly, but with a few touch ups it's sharp & biting well. It was helpful to have a sharp screw for reference. the sharp shop sounds like a good deal though. thanks Paul!

way to send guys! can you explain to us what it is like to be an ice ninja, or would that be like a pigeon explaining politics to an orange? mineral staining indeed....

stop making us west siders look bad! fun looking stuff! now you need to boldly lead all the mixed varriations

Nice Colin! You guys kicked ass! did you bring just one 70m or did you have a zip line too? you should put that stuff on the cover of Alpinist. beautiful

watch out for trains! damn objective danger.. NICE looking climb Kurt! way to get it before it fell down.

One thing to note is that it is often unnessisary to bring an ice axe at all. Crampons will give you way better security on small snowfields or glaciers, removing the need to arrest a fall. You can also pick up a stick or rock as an "axe". Dragontail and Stuart (upper N ridge approach) are both great example spots.

Anyone use the Marmot Atom sleeping bag? They call it a 40 deg bag with the regular height clocking in at 1 lb. Finally a 1 lb bag in the mummy style.

they'll DQ you for the 2nd one, and cut the rope for the first (for good measure!)

Jeez John, If you want to start a "Locals do good in ouray" thread, well, you just go right ahead then. nice work Bill! but why no shorts over polypro? I mean, you are representing the PNW here...

I have fond memories of the home fires as a kid. "are we there yet? when do we get to the bakery???" definitely post something when you get it back open

john- nice how brush bash is tucked behind that rib, eh? I wish more banks routes were so they'd stay in longer. not a bad route given its moderateness for the area, though some loppers might help for that mid section.
