A pic of Skinner seconding a pitch on Wully Canyon in the Ghost River Valley, AB. On the lead I was pummled by spin drift. Snowing around 10cm/hour that day, everyone had their avi gear. Good times. The "snow ledge just below him is actually a 4 or 5 foot deep accumulation of spindrift deposit that only the Pruvian Andies Mountain Gods can explain as to why/how it was staying where it was.
Gawd I hate that helmet

I was in toys-r-us, and noticed that the Tonka Toy hard hats are of a higher quality construction!
I think at last count I had 8 cracks in mine.
I also hate the way it sits on my head, with no suspension to speak of, just that piece of foam right on top of your head so that there is no airflow/ventilation, which causes me sweat my a$$ off even in winter.
So as soon as the ice is in I'll post some pics of me climbing in my new Tonka Toy lid.

Timd - you gonna be at the fest for the festivities anyways, right? You'll certainly be in good enough shape to tend teh bar...
Yull have to point out the one you'd like tik'd, hopefully something new (to me) with nothing harder then M7ish to connect the real ice.

Sun, Sty-
Whats up guys, I will try to be there if I'm not working. To answer the question of what happened, I was on some late season ice in Redstone and tore my shoulder out. That was in April and my surgury was the 17th. of July. They had to cut muscles loose from my shoulder, shorten and then reattach them. They also repaired a labral tear with some hardware. I have about 20% mobility right now, but I ditch this sling on friday! we will see.
