layton Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) Just to keep reminding myself why I climb here's a gratutious photo, Somewhere in Canada looking down Edited March 14, 2004 by michael_layton Quote
chirp Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Snow and Rock...some squiggly lines and rough terrain? Big white thing in the forground, obviously in the way...pfft! Quote
Dru Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 here i am looking over at your same squiggle glacier and same white blob of a summit Quote
MrDoolittle Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 Dru, I notice your peak is significantly lower, and significantly less technical. Kind of like the thing with feet: Big feet, big meat. Quote

klenke Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 You pose an interesting question, Dru. Is the plural of bigfoot: bigfeet, bigfoots, bigfoot? Quote
swaterfall Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 The photos are killing me. I'm packng my shyte and moving ASAP. There are no glaciers in CO. Quote
layton Posted March 14, 2004 Author Posted March 14, 2004 there also are very very few technical rock climbs (5.7 and up) over 10 pitches in CO. CO is closer to the Tetons and Winds for that than PNW. Better winter alpine in CO however. But, yes, there are no big ass glaciers in CO. Â Don't move here to slog, you'll get sick of it after a year or two. After a bit, glaciers will be in your way, although they do make any climb 500% better cuz of the added scenery. Â Don't move to the PNW b/c of the waddington range. it's just as big of a deal to get there if you live in seattle or live in new york. Quote
griz Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 After a winter up there you will find those blue sky photos a cruel,cruel joke... but enjoy though! I'm all for one less person in Colorado, for sure. Quote
cj001f Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 After a winter up there you will find those blue sky photos a cruel,cruel joke... Sort of like thinking an alpine start will ensure you'll have the route to yourself in RMNP? Quote

layton Posted March 15, 2004 Author Posted March 15, 2004 shit next week looks sweet! too bad i'll be in CA. Â this is some killer thread drift btw Quote
Dulton Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 hmm, I think you should look again... or at least the site I look at isn't so optomistic Quote
griz Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 If you read that post again you'll see that the top is Seattle's weather and the bottom is Denver's weather... Â next time I'll put it day glo for you thread skimmers. Â Anyway enough thread wandering on my part...I think the intitial topic was Layton fishing around for some sunshine to be blown up his ass about his cool pic or something... Quote
