Just got back from 5 days in Val Bregaglia. :D Despite miserable weather reports, we managed to climb every day. Pics to come soon.
Paolo, expect a lengthy update from Steve-o soon.

Well, I just started back at school, and the only climbing I have done between the rain has been tr soloing, trying to keep my strength, and climbing for 8 hours yesterday... teaching my friend to lead trad and belaying him on v diff's all day! Wait, I lie, I led one digusting hand jamming corner (to tight a corner to get both hands in... utter flailfest!) on which one of my cams walked in mega-far and over cammed. It went in so far that my friend could not unclip it, so i had to bust out the prussicks (on single pitch... wtf?) and escape the system to lower him a loop of free rope, and I belayed him up on that.
Managed to get the piece out on rap, thank goodness. It wasn't actually mine, it was my math teacher's...
-Magnus
I did, however, have an awsome time yesterday, it's quite inspiring to see a new climber so enthusiastic, it really rubs off onto you!

Uh huh. One could take that as good news... but then again...'sup mate? As quiet as you are, I get the impression you must've lost all ten fingers and write with the nose now?

Hello Everyone,
My name is Matt and I'll be in Sallanches, (somewhat near Chamonix) on business for the first two weeks of October. I'm wondering if anyone might recommend some moderate sport or trad climbing areas nearby. Also, if you'd like to join up, please let me know.
Thank you.

notch - don't think i met you at any of the MassHoles gatherings? I left a bit more than a year ago...
what do you call moderate climbs? Can you manage glacier approach? i'm often around there on the w-ends, but my planning happens around friday night before the trip, depending on weather. Leave me your contact info or check with me before your trip - maybe we can figure smth out to meet if you need a partner.

Sure you can! I mean, I'll be pissed like hell, but who'd care anyway? :lol:
Naaah, just do it! I'll think of you when I get wasted at my bro's diploma party :D

not mine - my camera officially died 2 weeks ago :evil: :cry: :cry:
btw any advice on a new camera - i was drooling over the last olympus mju 720 as they say it sustains shocks at being dropped over 1,5m and is in a metal case - but then it costs over 400 euros too... :roll:

Sorry you haven't gotten that lengthy update from me yet Paolo, I guess I'm being nice. Well not really, I've just been really busy. Working here in Andermatt for my friend is going great. The work is hard, pretty physical. By quiting time I usually feel like I've been climbing all day. The view from the office can't be beat. We are right in the center of Andermatt, next to a river, and with a huge mountain just behind the town. The tourists love to stop and watch Dan putting up the little wooden shingles on the side of his house.
This weekend we are headed north to check out an alpine hut that Dan's wife is part owner of. Of course we'll be getting some climbing in too. That's climbing on multipitch routes in Switzerland just to be clear about it Paolo! Switzerland, that mountainous, beautiful country which happens to be right over Italy.
Well I'll stop being mean......for now. You know I love ya buddy! Oh, and you'll be proud of me, I've turned into a total coffee addict!

this doesn't mean that I'll forgive him for what he said.
Steve, next time I'll see you, remind me that I have to kill you. :evil:

So where/when are we going to have our next gathering? How about somewhere in Italy? You know, Paolo, Italy, that beautiful country where Heiko and I live? I've heard there are some great places to climb here. :-)
