i think it's better not to fall. i did self-arrest with a quark once on solid water ice just by taking a big fucking swing overhand at a passing bush as i slid by. it worked.

 

Did you have nitro strapped to your back?

Glad to hear that you are recovering well.

 

I'm not the Gary you met there.

 

I kept thinking, "A car, a car, my kingdom for a car!" when the page went off, as I've done the approach to NF Kent before, but I couldn't set up a carpool with a fellow rescuer fast enough. I took the role of in-town OL and called base to give beta for accessing Mt. Kent -- not sure how much of my info was useful or made it into the field.

 

I heard some Tacoma folks also responded, and there was a SnoCat involved too? Also many thanks go to the physician you or your partner spoke with over the phone.

Totally cool.

Good work!

T, good to hear that J is going to be OK. I was tempted to join you guys, but I was already into my third beer and a last minute solo drive up at night didn't inspire me.

Somehow I managed to stay on my feet over weekend.

Hey, you learned your lesson. I sure most of us here have had a minor or major accident at least once. Thankfully, most of the time they aren't as bad as yours. Eventually your ice axe will become a part of you. Good luck with your battle scars, and get well soon.

It's most distastefull to see a n00b patronize.

I think Jamin would like to make the pick of his ice axe a part of some of the wiseguys on this thread.

 

If you had my discernment of Jamin's SOP and experience from firsthand reports on this site alone, you'd know my comment wasn't wise-ass.
