I've got a 4wd for the dirt road if someone will lend me their shotgun...will bring the ammo if I know what to get...better give me enough notice, I hear ammo sells out at Walmart the day it comes in. Specific handgun ammo goes like hotcakes,but shotgun ammo is plentiful at any walmart.Though some ...

That sounds good! Setting up crevasse anchors,ratchets/pulleys,training team work etc,I am very down for that.


On the subject of "roped"...
How about some roped vertical ice climbing Bert? =D

The waterfall looks good!

Mve, sweet man! Climbing is extremely fun.To get into it,it all depends on your ability to absorb information mentally and apply it physically.If you want to start indoors or outdoors,it all depends on what you want to do.The climbing gym can be a good outlet to learn and get the basic "ropes&q...

As far as climbing goes,The proper crux was the approach.lol =D

Zach and I headed out to Tahquitz(Lilly rock) around the town of Idyllwild for a beautiful day of traditional rock climbing.The drive up was very nice and relaxing,weather couldn't have been better.Stopped by ihop for the champion breakfast early in the am =D We then geared up for a classic route. T...

Reckon it's to help extraterate the driver and codriver before it can go up in flames.

You're on a top,you're a best!

It would be interesting to know what other route, technique and/or gear choices might have made this a more pleasant experience. This is just my assumption and thoughts.The route looks beautiful,the technique they both have and well experienced.I would go on the limb to say it was critical to have ...

Those falls are beautiful!...It is all part of life and mountaineering.Im proud to have such awesome adventurous friends as you and Zach.It takes a strong heart and mind to face such things in life, to get off the beaten trail where majority of society walks in comfort.The only thing I can really sa...
