hehe "Bear". Good one. Will keep the legend going.

Needed - 4WD wheel chair, with snow tires, full size spare, 8-inch lift, hydraulic wench (not the Tina kind), 100m static 10mm rope (black), gun and ice tool rack.

Will pay cash.

No problem. Who else was going to jump across the 18,000 foot deep crevasse and set up the tyrolean traverse?

Nice work Mike. You made some great time. 5 hours'ish? Sweet.

Nice pics. A couple pics show some nice routes (when in condition).

I've had an eye on that same route for some time now. When we get a cold spell, we should go up and take another look at it. I know one other person who is interested in doing it.

Nice report Sam. I can't believe I missed you guys. I was to the right of you a little bit checking out some new areas.

Galena Gauntlet looks like it'll be pretty nice once the snow consolidates and gets a bit hard.

We'll hit it then.

Awesome job you three. Looks epic. Since I got three thumbs, I give you three thumbs up.

There are some really good deals here:

I have a yetti, a young yak, and an old female Nepalese.

You're choice.....$25.00

Whats the link?

I have a couple new ones in mind if you two are up for it. Of course this is when the snow consolidates a little more and I get my damn gear off the mountain.

Eric - you ever see snake vs. beaver?

Those geopards are lucky that the little impala (AKA Savanah Ravager) didn't rip there throats out and drink there blood using there aortic artery as a straw. Yes - some animals can show compassion. Humans are not animals. I am not an animal. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

Petzl Nomic's look alright. Ueli wasn't half bad.

I like Taco's ice tools. they fit his climbing style and they were only about 0.89 cents per pound

I bought my ice tools at about $202.13 per pound.

Ladies - La Sportiva has some very nice gaitors on closeout.

Price was $60, now only $10.

Only problem is, they only have small. But check these out if you're in need of a pair.

Nice photos. Looked like a beautiful day. can wait for that bowl to firm up a bit.

If I can put in a request for a date, I'd appreciate it, then I would for sure make it out.

I only have Feb 6, 7, or 20th available to help out. If it falls on one of those days, count me in. If not, no worries - have fun up there.

Get on a real mountain ya goon. Got crampons yet or snow shoes?

And those ain't deer tracks.

By the way - nice pictures. Honestly.

I would also lilke to volunteer my assistance of setting course or help time. I also have 6 or 8 two way radios I could lend for the volunteers and timers to help coordinate things. maybe others could bring there two way radios as well to help communicate between those at top and bottom of course.

Ncie pictures. Looks like there will be some cool climbing in the bowl soon. We got good chance for some more snow tuesday night. Then wait for some consolidation and it's open season on climbing in the area.

Rainer then Hood. Nice week planned.

Hey Cooche - some nice pics there.

Nice pictures. Love the mountains under fresh snow. I was in the San G vicinity on Sunday, doing some snowshoing of my own and WOW - what a workout.

I love hiking in weather like that. Good thing you didn't run across any flash floods or land/rock slides.

Some nice pics there Ze'. Glad you guys had a good time.

DS - You're in luck. We're being hit with a decent weather front right now. We had two storms pass through, and expected to get up to 3 more, dropping a total of up to 6 feet of new snow at the higher elevations. At least that's what NOAA predicts. You may be in for some good snow. Maybe not too muc...

Yeap - another one gets hooked. It's easy going up and you're right, when you stop and take a look down, you realize how much elevation you've gained.

Good luck and make sure you don't damamge your wallet too much buying more gear. Ah hell - you only live once, BUY! BUY! BUY!
