socks, and raised relief maps of Maine, and NH/VT to put pins in to keep track of where I go.![]()
Got a lot of functional, "mature" (read: boring but good to have) presents. However, a few people really came through. My younger brothers got me a set of Metolius rock ring training holds and my and and uncle got me my first ever pair of climbing shoes, Red Chili Spirits. I'm pumped.
No 'poons...?![]()
(USPS sez they were delivered on Xmas Eve...maybe the fat man in the red suit needed a little extra traction for the rest of his rounds and boosted 'em? Lemme know.)
I scored pretty well...
From my brother: two 24" snow pickets
From my father: TNF Base Camp duffel bag
From my son: a new Nalgene bottle (replacing the one he lost at baseball practice this summer)
From my daughter: heavyweight Smartwool sox
From SWMBO: BD ice screw (Chip, there's a joke in there for you somewhere about her wanting me to use protection)
From Santa: a stocking full of Gu, Clif Bars, handwarmers and the like
HO-HO-HO, Rainier here I come!![]()

I need some bad pun assists from Paradox on this one also...
Awesome book Rickie - I plan to knock off some of those next year. I'm particularly interested in the Valcour Island kayak/hike.
Christmas is a really stressful holiday and can be a huge pain in the rear, but it does have some a few redeeming qualities. Namely presents.
One evening while gliding around under the floodlights in 8 degree temps, my 3 y/o daughter grabbed my leg in a big bear-hug and said "This is the BEST Christmas EVER!" That was better than any present anyone could have given me.
