Was I supposed to wash this stuff? I just hang it with my hockey equipment and it all smells sweet!:cool:

Courtney, Great video and climb. I wish I was there!

I read the title of this thread and I immediately had the same thought that Dave expressed above. Rotten snow season is time to stay home and clean up the yard.

Personally I would not rely on an on-line service to back up my pictures. On line services like Flickr can drop your account with no warning and no possible recovery of your data. This is basically for serious violations of the account terms but it is possible. I keep a external hard drive...

I haven't done a lot of skiing in the past few years and I am missing it. The skiing report makes me want to get out there. Keep the reports coming!

Nice Ice Chip, I didn't catch this thread originally. This place looks pretty nice. I'll have to go check it out some time. It is kind of weird to drive south to go ice climbing instead of north, but I even have to drive south to get to Auburn and CT is not that much further. Thanks for...

Karen, Congratulation on your winter 48! Woody

I just bought two of them. I found them at the local Aubuchon Hardware store when I went in to get ice melt for my driveway. I grabbed the last two in the store. I gave one to my brother. I haven't used it yet but hope to with some trips coming up. Woody

Mats - Congratulations! Glad you're back out there! Hope to see you hiking soon. I'm sure I'll be well behind you struggling to keep up as usual!

There wasn't a box for me to check so I guess I just don't fit anywhere:cool:

I like it. It is not realistic looking but I like how the train station jumps out at me. It is art!

I much prefer to stay over night but sometimes family obligations require that I spend the night at home. For those day trips I generally try to keep the driving to less than 3 hours each way. I might strech the drive time if I can share the driving with someone else. I have driven up to...

Stevo sums up the most important goal!

I would like to: Lead a grade 4 ice climb. Do at least 5 winter 4 Ks Climb a 14'r

I wouldn't advise glissading over the ladders on the way down. I've done it and felt lucky not to be hurt. My son was glissading behind me and I yelled to him and he was able to self arrest with his ice axe at the top of the ladder.:eek:

I was hoping I could make this event, but it looks like I'll be spending some time that evening on a frozen indoor pond with blades on my feet and a stick in my hand.

When I was stationed in Plattsburgh back in the early "80's I skiied at Whiteface a lot. I definately earns the nickname "Iceface". My condolances to the gentleman's family.

The Greylock area is ok. There is a shelter just off the AT close to the summit I believe. It has been a while since I have been out that way.

I was thinking about how safe the ice was on the first day of winter when I snowshoe'd across Lonesome Lake. I was going to stay on the trail and go around the lake but there was a well defined and broken out path in the snow going straight across towards the hut so I figured it was safe. Alan...

G10's I have G10's and microspikes as well as a few other pairs of crampons. If I could only get one set of traction I would get G10's. The G10's will take me anywhere the microspikes could, maybe not as comfortably on my feet, but I could get there safely. On the other hand, microspikes...
