Chesslers Guide Books are usually overpriced. Unless your hung up on patriotism - just order from the UK website. Or try Barrabes (a spanish climbing shop might have a few spanish climbing books, no?) Or Bookfinder.com - the best used book search engine on the web.

Huh? There´s plenty of sound science behind both of those (and public support behind the latter) - its the economic implications of the policies that the right objects too. You do the Bob and Weave as well as W Fairweather.

Today's offerta at La Anonima AR$2.70/kg. That's less than a buck a kilo. Cheapest mail order is the yahoo site listed above (that I know of). Unless your nice, then I might bring you back a key or two.

If you can stand ¨society¨ sober more power to you.

But they did with the best of intentions!

There´s a difference between a PNW ¨rain¨ and rain. When it´s cold and coming down in windwiped sheets, dry equals warm.

Mine do as well. I rarely open them all the way. And I don´t find myself raising my arms often.

Bonneville was built at the end of the tidal reach of the Columbia.

How the hell does rain go up your armpits?

Not to mention her good taste in who to echo! Marie - Which IK do you have? I´m looking to get one.

I´ve owned alternatives. They don´t work as well. Goretex boots work better when the waterproofing on a leather boot wears out - which is likely on a long trip (weeks/months). I´ve watched people with alternative products in jackets get miserable in a prolonged downpour. As for the impending flood, sometimes you don´t have a choice. Have fun in rain and 40mph wind in your Schoeller

Bobs rent a bull is looking for their stud back.

Open to dyeing it?

Looking to buy the bigger BD stone pack (40L) will consider the smaller (33L) Send me a PM or email carleton dot johnson at gmail dot com

I bought an Etrex. And promptly returned. The next GPS I buyu will have full map capability, a buttload of memory, and a bar altimeter. Without those feature it´s a halfassed tool in my opinion. Unless all you want to do is go geocaching.

Kiwi Coil.

You are an idiot. Travel to places where it pisses rain and watch the people with non Goretex jackets cry. Ask a Kiwi - they only buy Goretex. For a very good reason. You ever tried using an umbrella in 40mph wind?

I have the Garmont Tower. Goretex, very similar. Stiff enough for flexible crampons, don´t sweat that much on approachs, fairly durable. Don´t know if it can be resoled. Pleased withit. Aside from, lkke all lined boots, it ends up stinking to high hell.

Hehe. Last spring it was half the patrol at meadows. They were pleased.

Yeah, but PDXkayaker has the ¨my boats a year old, I´ve got to upgrade and ditch this boat for a pittance of what I paid for it¨crowd. I believe Alder Creek has used yaks as well.

There are a few huts in US National Parks, mostly grandfathered in because of NPS stupidity. Ostrander in Yose, Pear Lake in Sequoia (both winter only) are cheap and cool. The 2 in Glacier are a fucking fortune, and sound like something Intrawest would do.

I prefer the scenery of Argentine discos.

It´s more local than colorado. www.pdxkayaker.org

Thanks for the info. I´ve heard conflicting reports, so will play it by ear. As for the Andes, I´m there now. I´d like a change of scenery.

Thanks for the offer, I think I´ve a place lined up. Still looking for advice on things to do/see in the Santiago/Valpo/Vina area!
