Isn't Canada Minnesota with mountains?

88mm isn't "too wide" for Dynafits - it's narrow for skis now. I use Dynafits on things almost as fat, others around use Dynafits on Havocs. If I could find a stiffer boot I wouldn't bother with other bindings for anything short of hucking.

not crack, but it bears a strong resemblance to another illicit substance. Not as good to wake up, but damn nice in the afternoon mate is. Down south you see people hiking with Thermos, cup & bombilla. In Uruguay they can't even go to the grocery store without it

Bike ride + beach on Saturday. Worked on Sunday + bought new Greenough fin for board and Sprout

Heretic! Burn Him! Burrrrnn Him!

Because I'm just out of the joint and they killed my mother.

Snow.

Last year you had to "descend" into the bergshrund at crystal pass. It involved maybe 10' of ice downclimbing. Sounds like there's been a lot of melt if the reports are accurate. Would be interested in seeing a first hand accoutn.

Or he couldn't afford the bandwidth!

I think the Wildwood trail. I saw him at the Cornell Rd crossing last summer w/Caddis (if you don't fish, why name it after a bug?)

Heaven forbid it meet up with one of the local Olympians. Better it come to Oregon and hook up with a lawyer who'll keep it in the garage.

After watching a party be guided up last summer, no. A 40' moat would be some serious melt in less than a year.

Chiropractors were doctors before there was chiropracty? Chiropractic care is a practice of the 20th century. It was desicovered in the 1890's.

No crystals?

jmace - the home surgeon! Did you start with a lobotomy first?

Explain to me how spinal misalignments are the root of all ailments? I prefer my medicine fishmonger free!

Cow tipping to tame?

Because they have an ever shrinking maintenance budget and they don't feel like rebuilding the road every year?

A climber with ADD - OMFG! That's only, what, 50% of the climbing community? I'm also saddened. A lot more worthwhile projects for people to donate their time and money to then some brat going on an uber Outward Bound journey.

The TM:EX = R:EX = 10:EX all the same ski, just different marketing spin. For touring many people your weight like something in a 180cm to 185cm for the fatter boards around. BD/Atomics are decent planks, so are K2s, so are most skis made to today - buy something cheap this summer, if you hate it you can resell it come winter for as much or more than you paid for it. Whats the difference between AT and Downhill? Depends on the skis. For some its a different topsheet (see above Atomics) for others they've lightened the weight. As for "compromising performance" all depends on what performance you want. Everythings a compromise from 220cmDH boards

Trad climb 3 at 14k?

Search for the reply I got earlier this year?

For those not in the know a few suggestions are helpful.

Howard Weamer would know. Ostrander Hut caretaker for 30 years. He mentions talks about it in "The Perfect Art: The Ostrander Hut and Ski Touring in Yosemite". Try e-mailing him at ostranderhut.com
