Thinker Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 I SAW them, I SAW them............ Â unbelievable mounds of rock hard playground slathered with slippery slidey fun stuff, topped off with a wee bit of fleece! They needed to capture a bit more of the rope in the photos, though, IHMO. Quote

Â I signed up for this course almost two years ago -before I was able to find anyone to "take me under their wing". Seeing that it was free, except for the plane fare, how could I resist? Â I did learn a lot of basic skills to use in the mountains which is pretty hard to come by in the flatlands of MN. And, the instructors were good with explaining things in more detail to me and/or giving me more responsibility when we encountered skills I already had. Â Yes, the large group was sometimes obnoxious. Lots of "strong" personalities and overly ambitious folks. But thats alright... Ive got my quarks that others had to deal with. Most importantly, I got what I wanted out of the experience. Â Trundle-wise...well I will admit (keep in mind Im a little sensitive to rock/ice fall after some near misses and a hit) that it was difficult when the instructors werent around to convince some of the group members that it was NOT okay to whip rocks off the mountains!

This Snafflehound was talking with several people in your group after you stopped and had to wait for the road crew to clear that avalanche. We may have spoken.

nolanr Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Nice pics, looks like you got some classic Cascades weather while you were here. Didn't want to disappoint you w/ nothing but sunny blue skies and warm temperatures you know, you can go to California for that. Quote
