EISPIRATEN

Just went to go check out snow conditions and possibly do some mixed climbing near Sheep Canyon. Woulda been a horrible idea. Walked into the structure that used to be a house at the very base of Sheep Canyon, with deep, cold, dry powder snow up to my crotch.

Use snowshoes if you go offtrail. I'm going to wait till things consolidate a bit before any Ice Pirate junk happens. Screw technical wading.

Bigass crag up atop the ridge west of Fir Draw.


Winter = yay


Not fun right now

Madhouse parking lot. Ludicrous. Packed.

Weekends suck.

So... a few weeks and the mountains will be perfect, I assume.

Looks like that ice axe was doing you a lot of good.

Yeah, shoulda brought some paddles and a Korean dictionary instead.

I had the same experience today above the skihut. made it o 9000' and turned around due to constant postholing (with snow shoes)

The snow play crowd was insane. People everywhere, line of cars backed up from below the village all the way up.

That line kept going waaaaaaaaay down... Lord...

C'mon Glendora Ridge Road! 8)

Taco - I imagined you looking totally different.

Definately nice crag up there though.

I didn't picture you as Mexican either. For some reason, by reading your posts, I pictured you as a short, stout, locomotive walking machine. Maybe Irish.

A small part Northern Irish. Car-bombings come naturally.

And Alcohol consumption does as well, with a little blood blistered nose - you know the kind with the red scar on it

Nice photos. Some of us enjoy the light fluffy snow
