Going to get into spelunking, eh?

Yes, I know it's a big place. East Africa (Kenya/Tanzania) and South Africa (Jo'burg, Durban, Capetown). South Africa has reasonably affordable tickets from the West Coast ~$1500.

That's a load of bs. There's a board full of them at TGR.

Anybody have advice on cheap tickets to Africa? I've got some time (funemployment) so the cheapest way is the best.

Pull out strength is going to be proportional to the OD/external dimensions for any deadman/picket type anchor.

Catharine Deneuve! A tad old now, but in her prime!

All parts of the climb must occur in that period. When you leave your front door to when you walk back in

5/8" ID is just a long ice screw.

Ski descent is an entirely different beast than a standard descent. Winter ascents are summer ascents with more cold, snow, weather and less sun. The only person who cares about tele vs alpine vs board is Tom Turiano.

There are regional differences of opinion on that issue. Women in the PNW want/are more comfortable with independance than in other regions. In my experience.

I've met people who put up NEI5 20 years ago who still climb WI5 today on the same equipment.

Do not take this approach in Portland.

Most people find Broughton's much more aesthetically pleasing than Rocky Butte (except if you find a good porn mag!)

Nothing's more fun than the surprise kicker with thrashed thighs on the luge run

Cascade Forecast? I don't give a %^*%! Sunshine here I come!

They can already predict with 90% accuracy if you'll buy from a given catalog....

Climb. Ski. Repeat. Argentina (5 days to go!) for glaciers/rock Europe (Switzerland?) for skiing/touring India (Kullu Valley) for skiing/climbing NZ for anything

How bad was coverage on the Alpine? Did it last Sunday and the beargrass was sticking up through the powder. Best to stick in the luge track (which was interesting at twilight w/o a headlamp)

There's a reason for that!

I know someone from Lockheed who was sent to the "decruitment" center
