EISPIRATEN

Did you notice if there was much water running at the spring above the hut? Going up this weekend and want to plan my water supply. Cheers.

Congrats on your climb! I never posted a report here on my climb up the Ingraham Direct route in May. Our group summited a few days before the Ingraham avalanche buried 11 climbers - sadly one died. It has been a strange experience for me. This is an incredible mountain and I will be back next seaso...

Just saw this on the IMG page:

Nice work!

Dropped, 12mm spacers on rear. Bored yesterday so I painted some trim red, think I am going to change it back to black.

Acid?!? That Russian dude is on acid -- or at least he was when he styled his hair.

I decided on the Eibach Pro-Kit. 1.2f/1.0r drop. That should cut out the wheel gap completely without having the tucked in/under look. I am doing it tomorrow so I will post a pic when I am done. Will decide on rear spacers once its dropped.

Yes, the Conti SportSomethings - very forgettable. I am not sure yet. I will do either H&R or Eibach. I have had Eibach on two other cars and I liked the way they rode but I know most BMW guys use H&R. My trouble is finding good information on how low I can go with the 20s. I'll post another...

Thanks.

I heard similar things about the Invos before I got them, and I've only had them two days but wow what a difference from the Continental tires I had previously. What suprised me most was how quiet they are and how smooth for being 30 series.

New TSW Donington 20x8.5 wheels with 245/30/20 Nitto Invo's. Gonna lower it this weekend and add 10mm spacers to the rears.

Very cool. Looked a little sketchy topping out inside that bush/tree. I am gonna have to learn to ice climb someday.

If my French is correct, I think they were complaining about the length of the approach.

Once they are drowned in the water buckets I am guessing that would wash off the "plague" and then they be good eatin' Right?!?

Personally, I was hoping Emu was the right answer.

The Grover post reminded me of one of my favorites from Sesame Street:



You tell me. . .was the San Francisco trolley car riding up the rainbow some kind of subliminal (or maybe supraliminal) message or was Sesame Street just ultra progressive in the 1970's?

Taco, I think you'll like this one based on your last post (thanks for the intro to TYR):

Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown

Sweet! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

ANTI-FLAG -- THE PRESS CORPSE

That is FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!!

BTW - Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler rock! Great way to kick off this sticky.

I have to share my favorite any day, every day song. For me, this song (really any Dead song) is like going to church 8) :

GRATEFUL DEAD - FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN




*(Grateful Dead song performed by Jerry Garcia & Friends -- including Carlos Santana)

Sweet build, you've done a lot of really nice work. Awesome when she finally fires up for the first time. . .it's almost like birth. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Freakin' awesome!!! My last project was a 1968 El Camino with a 4 bolt main 350 that I turned into a Vortec stroker motor at 383ci with a good torquey Crane cam and a Barry Grant 750cfm Speed Demon carb. Hauled ass! Then I sold it. I am curerntly looking for a 1966 Nova to build and keep. Keep us po...

Wow, awesome!!! Thanks for sharing Zach. Meg is so right when she says that the Andes have a different feel than any other mountain range. I spent a few years of my life in Venezuela and had the chance to climb a few 15,000 - 16,000 foot Andean peaks and I totally agree the Andes are very special. I...

Great TR, enjoyed the pics! Looks like you guys had a great time.

Rumpled- Thanks for the map link, even better thanks for the introduction to Acme Mapper. It's funny to me that both my maps labeled Deer Canyon as Calamity Canyon and made no mention of the name Deer. Everything I read on the internet before the climb called it Deer though. I am going to go back up...

Hey kids! Hey dad! What do you wanna do today? We don’t know. Do you wanna go to the matinee? No. Do you wanna [climb Cucamonga Peak] No. Do you wanna go to the punk rock show? YEAH, let’s go to the punk rock show! NOFX, The Separation of Church and Skate Everyday I drive home from work in Orange Co...

Way too much brush!!! I will post the TR later I am beat.

Truckin' and Fire on the Mountain were definitely on the iPod today.

I am gonna try to be parked at the top of Haven and then on the trail by 5:30am. I think I am going to stay left and go up Calamity Canyon. It seems like once you hit Cucamonga Truck Trail you go east less than a half mile before you hit the sharp bend in the road (discussed on SummitPost) which sig...

I think I am going to go and check this out Friday morning. I will post a TR when I get a chance.

Here's a link with some information:
