CollinWoods Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Everyone has to start out somewhere and somehow. Not everyone has the parents or friends or local groups to get them started and yet they still have the passion to get out in the hills like everyone else on this site. I was lucky enough to have my brother teach me the ropes (haha puns) but not everyone has that. I think its great Josh is getting out, planning climbs and teaching himself. He just needs a bit of guidence and more duct tape. Quote
Buckaroo Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I've got some extra gear to add to the pile. Whatever is needed. I've tried to sell some of this stuff in the past but can't get what I want so might as well give it to a good cause. Quote
wfinley Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Another rescue in Denali. This time the guy started a fire to get noticed... he had fractured his arm an lower spine -- and had walked 10 miles hoping for self rescue when he resorted to setting the fire in the hopes of getting noticed. http://aprn.org/2009/09/15/canadian-rescued-in-denali/ Quote
CollinWoods Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Does anyone remember name of the guy who kept needing rescue while attempting to climb Denali? He kept need rescue on all his attempts, i think he was told to stay off the mountain and refused (as a kid he wore a capeand was sorta off). I read about him in some book but cant remember which.

DonnieK Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hey josh, what kind of boots do you have? Do they heel and/or toe welts? What size boots? I might have some crampons for you. Quote
