My Sunnto HRM crapped the bed about a month ago. Running without it in the weeks since, I've found that, even though I *think* I'm running at my usual pace, I'm in fact going slower. I really need the HR data to keep me honest. ;) Now I'm debating on what to get as a replacement. Was leaning...

Didja eat 'em...or let 'em go? :eek:

"I want to go to there!"

Did they make you turn in your membership card...?

Deadly yellow snow fleas. :eek: (They're deadlier...)

Hey Barrett, good to see you back posting here again. Did you need some time away from the "new" PnP already? ;) Regarding ice tools, the cheapest option for you might be to borrow or rent a tool for the climb or two you think you'll need it. (IIRC, The Mountaineer in Keene Valley rents ice...

Actually, the reality is that we live in one world with two different ways* to describe its temperature... ;) *Doug, I'm ignoring the Kelvin scale on purpose here. <wink>

Same station, I hope... ;)

In what orientation to the sun should I hold my iPhone...? ;)

Yeah, that classic party game of "How Many Drunken Hikers Can Fit Under A 10'x10' Canopy" was a blast... :rolleyes: Is that what that was? I assumed it was you in your tent, playing yourself a lullabye on the flute. :D Butt seriously, it was fun jamming with you. (Next year, we can do an...

A Soob wagon seems to be the traditional climber/hiker car, and you don't wanna go breaking tradition... ;) Whatever you end up getting, make sure to slap a VFTT window sticker on it! :D

Impressive...very impressive!

+1 on the food. Little Bear's chicken/black bean/adobo/chipotle/spinach quesadillas were a-frickin'-mazing! The kiddie pool o' beers wasn't too shabby, either... ;)

You have a chrome-plated crumhorn? Sweeeeeeet! We'll have the entire campground singing "Riii-co-laaaaaaah" into the wee hours... Aye, Cap'n!

Makes me wanna dig out the crampons and ice tools and sharpen 'em up! ;)

Then you should apply for -- and proudly wear -- the patch! (Unless you took a snow machine or Sno-Cat part of the way, which we know you didn't.) IIRC, the "game" is about hiking, not load-carrying, yes? Heck, not everybody even carries a pack! Who gives a flip about what you did with...

Ewwwww...! Even with that to (ahem) look forward to, yes, I'll be there. Am bringing my kids (13 and 10) up to do Street and Nye, their #3 and #4 High Peaks. Heading up sometime during the day on Friday. Chip has been waffling on going to the BBQ -- do you know what his "final answer" is?

I think you'll find that current-generation Gore-Tex pants are often more geared toward winter pursuits (i.e., skiing, alpine climbing, etc.) as they tend to be built heavier and more burly. Rain pants these days seem to be made of lighter DWR fabrics like eVent and Marmot's PreCip stuff. A...

Shut down on the Kautz - Part 3 Thursday , 6/17 - Summit Day Starting summit day with less that two hours sleep wasn't something I was planning to do. After dinner, we climbed into our tents around 7:00P, though it was closer to 7:30P by the time I got settled into my bag. Paul was already...
