EISPIRATEN

Congrats Stacy & Curt! Nice job! You do know that Baldy is the entry drug for harder climbs!...

Since Steve titled his TR Ontario Peak and Disneyland and I have chosen to go with the flow and call my WebAlbum, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! Hiking with Steve and Fernando was nothing short of a wild ride into the beautiful San Gab's. If the French philosopher Pascal is correct, “That a man's true nature...

Mike,
great photos and awesome hike! your hikes inspire me.

God damn Dave, that avatar... extra points, sir. Extra points. HeeHee! sometimes you never know what you're gonna find in a register box! i took that lovely shot of the G-man on our dreary rainy-day summit of Iron in Jan '09. who knew rain could make you loopy? :P i've been working and haven't had ...

Beautiful job you guys! Great TR Sam. How cool to climb something so few do. How is the calf today Dave?

bee-u-tee-full !

Patrick, i did not take the time to re-read what you originally wrote, but i know after reading it last night that i did not come away with the feeling that you were pointing a finger. i felt you were writing to inform others of what happened out there to these skiers in the zero visability of the s...

Wow, just read your TR's Jim and Patrick. that was one heck of a gnarly day up there. as i was flying out of Burbank airport on Sunday morning i was thinking how lucky those of you were that were hiking in the beautiful fresh snow that was blanketing the mountains. little did i know what kind of day...

Mike, nice job! i don't have high speed internet access here in Utah so i am growing old as i try and check emails and view this board. i can't look at all your pix until i get home but i love the view from the Baldy summit. it made me LOL! btw... i still haven't forgotten how you wen t up DBB in a ...

Great job Mike! Thanks for posting the route with your TR. It's great when cold weather keeps the snow in good condition. I wonder how long this little perfect window will last? Wish i could join you all tomorrow, but i am heading out of town. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the NW routes up Teleg...

Great TR Jim! Congrats on summiting and i admire the perserverance you showed to make the day happen for you. That view from the summit on a clear day is pretty spectacular. So glad to hear you had a great time!!

thanx Ladies!

Tracie, sorry you were couped-up inside. hopefully reading mountaineering guide books, right?

Tina, you better, you better you bet!

finally got a chance to look at the pix. Awesome climb and Great pix!! looked like loads of fun except for the snap.

Tina, i like the white. very angelic!

we saw you from Telegraph Peak! i took this at 11:08 a.m. wish i could zoom in with better resolution, but your group is definitely there!


congrats on your first climb of a Baldy chute Mark!!

it all started with Sam looking to climb something on Thursday. a few options were suggested and Sam mentioned he had eyed a couloir on Telegraph's south slope when looking at photos that Patrick (lilbitmo) had recently taken. with some info from Taco on possible descent routes it was decided that w...

thanks everyone! it was a fun climb and fun day. i am still getting used to my camera. turns out it's smarter than me! :shock: Hamik, i'll pm you with location of 'shoes. Kathy, thanks for keeping an eye out for the goggles. they are old and kinda corny looking, but they still come in handy. here's ...

Jim (Calicokat) and i did a hike up Zen Chute yesterday. We pretty much had the whole mountain to ourselves. That's a first, except for the time i did a midnight hike with Dave G last year. We ran into Bruno coming down the east bowl as we were ascending and he walked over to say Hi and tell us it's...

Great photos Dave and Patrick! :D What a beautiful day up there... my favorite colors, blue & white! Man, that snow was so deep it swallowed up your snowshoes, huh? :wink: Nothing like postholing to burn calories faster than you can ingest them! You know, i think i saw LD on Bighorn and Timber l...

awesome photos Tracie! loved the moon, cornices and wilderness sign. but where was your pretty little face? don't tell me Eman didn't take any pix of you??? so glad you and Eman got out there. what fun! now you have me jonesin' to go...

you're tall Mitch. make sure you get tails too.

Not only do Dynafits weigh 1/2 as much as other AT bindings, they also have jet-powered retrieval systems! After losing contact with their owners for 1 hr, they blast into the stratosphere, initiate sophisticated visual and infrared frequency owner localization systems at the apex of flight, and en...

HeeHee! i remember that!

JimQ,
Great photo! Badger Pass looks like a perfect place to teach children how to ski. The lodge is like a step back into the 60's. Small, casual and looked like mostly families. Have fun!

again, as i said on the San J Board, Sweet climb!
LOL. that photo of Steve looks like his toupee is about to blow off! Quick, everyone yell... HAIR!!

Cannot ever remember being at Ice House Saddle and seeing anyone going up Bighorn, let alone 20 people – (especially wintertime) were they giving away “lotto tickets” or something? :shock: Did you head straight up from the saddle or did you traverse around the first bend towards Kelly’s Camp and th...

got a chance to make an unalpine, 8am start of Icehouse Canyon yesterday with Tracie (Blooty) and Jim (Calicokat.) not knowing what to expect with the recent high temps that dropped on Saturday we were pleasantly surprised with the conditions. nice firm boot track up the drainage with no crampons or...

Love it when you beat the odds! Great photos. Excellent summit!

Hey Patrick!
Glad you, Ellen and Ty liked "Zoom Cwm!" Nice work you three! Would have liked to see the ski race but i guess maybe, you could only hear it???

What was the condition of the snow on the bowl?

Ryan vs. Ryan! You're on!

Hi Shin! What can i say?... I love to stay active! Thanks for your kind words. We drove to Badger Pass from the south entrance with no 4WD necessary. I'm sure they do there best to keep the roads open for 2WD vehicles so tourist may come and spend their money. We had also hoped to snowshoe to the Ma...
