EISPIRATEN

Where exactly were you? Ski Hut trail? How far up it? Did you use pons, snowshoes or neither to get up there? Come on man -- not enough info!

My girlfriend and I will mostly likely be there on Sunday but we'll be moving at a slowpoke pace breaking in our new boots and I am not ready to take her up the bowl yet. If we make it up the ridge it would be awesome but I doubt it. She's still learning the winter snow travel. I was hoping to take ...

Sounds horrible -- I hope he's OK now?

These guys have a hell of a job man -- gut wrenching! How's you buddy now? Where did you serve?

We can have multiple official songs, mind you.

Ok -- how about this one?

While you guys are waiting for the storms here's a good movie I just watched the other day -- The Hurt Locker.

Alright! Will do -- thank you.

Nice TR/pictures Patrick. Wow you made it just in time before the storm!

Is there a good place to eat in Forest Falls? We always head back into town for dinner but finding something close-by would be awesome.

It must be brutal out there!



Has anyone made it to Baldy today?

I thought all of you going to carpool to Manker ...

It doesn't look like I can't get away from work on Tuesday so I'll have to wait with the snow-fun. Hope you guys make it there alright and enjoy some major snow fall!

Is everything OK?

It's coming!

You guys are hilarious!!

I am not familiar with snow flukes but from a pure engineering perspective, after analyzing the pictures here's what I think happened: a) someone permanently attached a steel cable to this fluke using a welded tube b) at some point the cable tore at one end of the fluke (top) c) they crimped the tor...

Dude -- I just bought it -- this set is all new. You should see my last pair of boots -- it looks like it came out of a shredder

Probably cleaning up the spot before dropping their butt there Cats are very clean animals.

Yours fit really well -- it must be the boot size. Yes I looked at the heel bail wire but in my case case it makes no difference since the tabs are just too wide regardless of how much I move the boot back it's just too narrow to fill the gap. With Spantik's it's perfect fit both rear/front using C...

It was in pretty bad shape last weekend (10th):

My Garmont Towers are a pretty small size but they happen to fit perfectly on my Clip Sabretooths. Check your rear retainers -- I doubt they are flush with the heel. Spantik's are huge and they fit just right. Here's what it should look like: For comparison, here's the same crampon with Trango S (W...

If you are going, please take lots of pictures! I am drooling

Yep 8mm is really bad and that's with the bigger boot ( with my Nepals it was even worse ). I just returned/shipped them back to BC ... Here's another shoot: And the front view showing how wide the front retainer is: The shifting occurs in two places: a) the toe of the boot shifts in the retainer cl...

I futzed around with both the Clip and PRO versions last night and here's what I found: - As I suspected there's no way to prevent the Clip version from rubbing the sidewall of the Women Trango S size 38 - The Clip version fits a larger boot just right -- very solid: - The PRO version sucks ASS even...

Thanks guys -- I really appreciate it. But there's more to it than lack of gear.

I don't know, I was hoping you would know. It's PHPBB's Ranks -- they are defined in the Administration Control Panel under USERS and GROUPS. At least that's where it is on my own install of it (v3). EDIT: basically once a user reaches a certain number of posts he/she is granted a new rank. Site Ad...

Maybe I'll catch up to you guys on Tuesday? I can't do an overnight just yet.

I'll try to futz around with them tonight to see if I can somehow smash the front of the boot further into the front strap, but I doubt it will make any diff. I just ordered G12 from REI (they are back in stock)-- will compare the two hopefully when it gets here ...
