EISPIRATEN

As long as this isn't like your Baldy Lodge meet-up thing, I'm in.

Shoot me a PM or give me a call. I'm available Sunday, but it's gotta be early. Very, very early.

Here's a topo-kinda thing I drew up a while ago, EnFuego:

Cool dilio.

Thanks.

Where was the invite!!!

Nice pics. I noticed you guys roped up. Did you have a running belay? Snow pickets?

By any chance do you know the names of all the couloirs up there?

Thanks for sharing. BTW - chaeck your PM.

Ouch! Ouch! Poor EnFuego! There's no way I'll ever eat your dust, if we do a regular, uphill hike. But when we go bushwhacking, cross country up steep ridgelines...or uphill in icy conditions....then you'll will be ahead. And, I like hiking with you. Both of our hikes together have been fun! So, no...

I do have a buddy who will slow me down a little, encouraging me to take in the scenery, which I also appreciate. So, I alternate, speed with scenery. Ouch!!! :x I think I represent that remark. :lol: OK - I won't slow down for you anymore and make excuses of looking at the scenery. be ready to eat...

Yup!!!!!!

Wow. 4 hours is really pushing it. I'm surprised he didn't collapse on the summit.

I'm sorry to see that is no snow left on Iron.

Thanks for sharing this report.

Looked like a nice day for a hike. I always like hiking in clouds or rain, or mist, or fog or snow or ice or mud, anything excep tthe norm. Normal is so boring. Being outdoors and clearing your head is always a good combo. Hope you were able clear your head and able to leave nothing to think about l...

When I first saw the glowof one eye on left hand of screen, I thought of Chupacabras.

In the end, I like to take it easy and chill with the peeps, and take in the scenery. Lotsa folks go fast and honestly miss a good deal of the views and experiences. Tell that to all my hiking/climbing partners. They don't beleive me when I lag 5 minutes behind. I'm not resting, jsut taking in the ...

I saw this. kevin has done some neat winter climbs/hikes. I jsut wish I had more time to get out there and do some things.

The fastest I've ever climbed was one step at a time. hardly ever two steps. I eventually got there. :lol: All joking aside, I've never timed myself. But Zach and I just did Baldy Bowl on March 10. I don't know how steep the center of the bowl is, but from botom of bowl to top, Zach did it in about ...

Nice TR. Looks like a really nice area. I'm looking forward to climbing with you soon. Have fun in DV, and maybe we'll hook up when you get back.

Zach, Alex, Ryan - Team GingerForce AKA "Superstuds". I'm glad you guys made it up and back ok. Well, at least 2/3'rds of you all. I'll chat with "you know who" later. Ryan - Glad to see you back in the game. :D Zach - I love your approach boots. :lol: Alex - You're a madman. Nex...

This dude is hardcore. Thanks for sharing this.

You guys are crazy. Dang Ze, you sure know how to torture yourself. But I'm glad you have fun doing it. Thats what it's all about.

Tim - You son of a gun. I saw that couloir all day Saturday when I was going up Baldy bowl. I kept telling the person I was with "god, I wish I could climb that today. I need to get over there before end of week". I think I'll skip a day of work and head out there Thursday or Friday. Thank...

So cool to have a girl to get out there with you. Congrats.

Nice pics.

It's been fun watching the progress of this road.

can't wait till June.

Use the 3/4 pad with your pack under your feat. Maybe use a bag liner. this ads 15 degrees of warmth and minimal, minimal weight. Also, eat a candy bar or something before you go to sleep. This increases your metabolism and moves your blood faster, which keeps you warm. Don't tuck your head in your ...

Wow. Thanks for sharing those pictures. Parts of Death Valley are really beautiful. Pretty soon, the flowers will be in full swing.

What a nice way to spend some time with the wifey.

BTW, what is the significance of the pupfish out there?

As I was heading to the trailhead with Bryan, some guy was driving eractic on the 57 Freeway, changing lanes quickly, not using blinkers, just all over the place, nex thing I know he's right next to me giving me the "Finger" and yelling at me, to my surprise it's EnFuego taking Liz up to ...

Hey Dave. It was a pleasure meeting you and Norma. You guys are quite the diehard climbers. Register Ridge at midnight??? You two are maniacs. :lol: How long is Register Ridge from Ski Hut trail to the ridge line, elevation gain and how long did it take for you guys to get up to the ridge. Pretty co...

That should do'er.

Looks like you guys are set.

Liz - it was my pleasure popping....errr, giving you some lessons. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-angelic002.gif I'm no expert, but I think I know 1 or 2 things. It was a fun day. I'm really glad we got out there. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel after my surgery, but I felt pretty g...
