Amazing I showed my 7 year old son this last night. I told him I would have glady given up my Purdue degree for this trip and encouraged him to live his life in the fashion documented.

BD Alpine BOD Please note that the Alpine BOD does not have a belay loop, which "may" be problematic in a gym or craging. I have the Alpine Bod and use it for roped glacier travel and gully climbs. When top roping ice climbs I use a the BOD which has the belay loop. Both harnesses are light...

I trained my dog (GSP) to respond to whistle commands. It took practice but it works great. We really only have a few commands (stop, come, and free). By happen stance I was doing a lot of hikes in the Pemi as he was being trained and we were up and down the Wilderness trail. As we all know...

I must admit that I’m a bit surprised by the reaction to this decision by the VFTT community. In light of the praise heaped upon those on this board that, travel so light and fast, that climb distance mountains on less traveled glaciers, that seek adventure off the beaten path, I’m especially...

cgarby, Thanks for the heads up, I wish I would have seen this earlier. I just finished the book, very good. David Roberts is a great writer / climber.

Great trip and report, thanks for sharing. I'm very jealous.

I asked my wife to write me a couple of notes to read during the climb. These letters were the best / worst. They made me miss my wife and son very much / they made me miss my wife and son very very very much. Examples: Read before you start your climb. Read when you are thinking of me...

I worn something similar to these. http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/endeavor_mitts.html With these inside. http://www.raggedmountain.com/proddetail.php?prod=102733&cat=231 I'm sure Ragged's shell would work well with the liners as they recommend...
