In reply to: *drum roll, pleeeeeeeeze* And I will be climbing ice next year with my NEW Omega Pacific tools, compliments of OP for that "most creative use of OP stickers" photo. The photographer has also won a pair. Of tools, that is. Told Gary if they had another contest I'd have to up the ante and climb nekkid. Yours, Snow White and her Pasties Well, the time has come to up the ante! :twisted: We had a bunch of fun last year, and plan on having more this year. So, a couple contests are in order. Categorys; Best photo of an OP sticker on a helmet, actually in use climbing. Best "Lifestyle" photo. Last but certainly not least is best photo of an OP tattoo. No rules, no gimmicks, just plain gratutitous fun! As mentioned 10 months or so ago, we still are determined to find the best homebrew of the festival. See all in a few days! Stop by to pick up supplies.

In reply to: Looks like the weather may not be as pleasant as last year. Current 10-day forecast says cold and snowy everyday: http://www.weather.com/activities/other/other/weather/tenday.html?locid=USCO0296 Ice climbing in the cold, ridiculous, I protest! Don't fret yet fellow climbers of the ice. I just spoke to the BCLodge yesterday (btw = still full and no cancellatns). I was told thet regardless of the weather report online - there has been no snow falling there. The passes getting in there however, is another story altogether. I think I may bring along a fur bikini just incase I have to hitch a ride with the snowplaw. Just fft (food for thought)....

http://instagiber.net/...ntrib/edoom/sad2.gif I'm not going to get to go this year AGAIN dammit! Cripes I don't when I'm going to be able to go back down there again. I had sooooo much fun the last time. Not at the festival mind you, but with the "Chicks with Picks" tha happened to be going on at the same time. A whole bunch of women letting loose and going off on a town like Ouray, then throw in two cute guys, a hot tub, some free beer and HOOOOBOY! you got yerself a recipe for a party BABY! YEAH!

I just got a room at the comfort inn for wednesday night if anyone needs a place to crash for that night? Steve you still need something for wednesday? Thanks for the offer Pheenixx but there is a chance I would be rolling in really late and you shouldnt have to leave the door unlocked or anything. See you thursday morning!!

Just climbed Lincoln Falls this morning. Conditions were, shall we say, less than balmy? Anyways, looking forward to the park, looks like I might be throwing an attempt at Longs right before I come down.
