So did we. The cops on the inside of the building with the dead guy on the floor had their guns pointed down the hallway where they 'thought' the shooter was. the cops on the outside said the scene was safe for us to enter.

Sounds good, but the Mrs. isn't going to like it much. Unless she has a BF of course.
I don't think I'll be away climbing the whole 2 weeks I'm back. Besides for the first couple years we were together I was doing mostly field work, including a couple 8 weeks at at time stints in the Yukon and NWT. We made it through that just fine.

Yes I actually climb, and I do wear a Trango CPU Helmet with a big TRANGO logo front and back. I use Trango Ball Nuts, and give props to Trango whenever I can. It's a start.
Besides, I can always hope. There's also no Trango B-team in Alberta taht I know of.

Because I could give even more props to Trango with more gear... I have no aspirations to obtain money through any sponsorship from Trango, gear would be kick ass though!
