EWolfe Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Who's gonna be climbing that weekend? I am going solo and looking for a partner for Friday-Sunday. I "Figger" I could find one easily enough there, but am curious who's doin' what? Skiing? Alpine? Cragging at Mazama? Due to gobies from Royal Flush, I am limited to face climbing this round , so if anyone needs a ropegun to .11+, let me know. You have to be able to follow! So, E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) I wanna ski up to the base of something. Climb it. Then ski back down. That's what I wanna do. I am new to BC skiing. Is this feasible, or is the window of good-skiing snow too small to accomplish a climb too? Edited April 29, 2004 by chucK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yes, its feasible. If you want to hit the corn snow just right, this priority may conflict with taking the time to do your climb. But you can ski up and down in any snow conditions, it's just a matter of how much time you'll spend upright as opposed to prone, in the middle of a yardsale or maybe rocketting down the slope out of control.

mattp Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Minx, you just don't know how to have fun. I bet your son would think the yard sale was pretty funny and the rocketing downslope part was cool! Bring him to the Ski-In and we'll probably be abel to show him a good time .... though you may have to do some explaining about how there are certain things that are a good idea for the big kids but not the little ones.

mattp Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I haven't seen very many small children who like back country skiing, but take him to just about any parking spot on the pass and you can find a snowbank he could slide down, there's some easy top-rope climbing right next to the road at Fun Rock, and right out behind the cabin where we'll be staying are a lot of cool poonds and streams to play in.

mattp Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Well in that case, Minx, I bet he'd enjoy playing in the highway, or maybe throwing rocks at cars. Bring a can of spray paint and let him have at all the cc.com 4x4 pickups with canopies. This could be better than the Mike's Van thread! (Or maybe just find that babysitter.)
