that first pic of that goat is cracking me up. i want him for my hiking partner.

I find the best way to attack a 6-pack is to ensure you have a comfortable couch, bag of chips and football on the tv. Essential gear would be a bottle opener, but if you go light and fast, then bring cans to eliminate the need for a bottle opener. Begin your attack early.. preferrably before...

geez, what a mess it is now. wonder how it'll ice up this winter. thanks for posting!

Can't forget our good friend, the wind! Wind loading is huge and anyone who has walked on wind slab, well, its one of the most unnerving things you can do. Thanks sierra. I dunno about you guys, but I'm getting so pysched for winter ice climbing!
