I sent you some links.
Ski, are you having trouble loading pics? I think you should be able to load up to nine pictures per post. If you have trouble, let me know and I will try to help you out.
Does anyone have the link to the pic posting thread? Someone started a thread recently giving good instructions on how to best load pictures. I can't remember who did it, or where they did it.

If we cannot define a simple word like greatness, how can we ever hope to use it as a measuring stick to know when we have risen beyond average?

When you were here, you brought a couple different packs for me to look at and you said that you spent most of your time in the mountains last summer with the smaller of the two. You also said that was the one you recommended that I get if I go with you this summer.
Was it the Timberline 1?

One night I woke up scared $#%&less, breathing hard and full of adrenaline with absolutely NO idea why!!!
I heard something entirely new and foreign to me echoing off the canyon walls. WOLVES!!! They were close too. I had been so focused on bear safety I had completely forgotten about them.
I spent the next morning doing dry fire practice and searching for any clue about them. Nothing. No tracks, no hair caught in branches, no scat, nothing. They are ghosts. I have no doubt they investigated my camp and knew I was there.
This is exactly the sort of reason I enjoy solitude up there so much. I'm not living right if I don't scare myself once in awhile.

I took thos photos of my climbing gear while sorting and organizing it. I don't always carry that much with me. Usually after a careful glassing of what I believe will be the best route I'll clip 3 or 4 nuts of nearly the same size, say a #6, #5, and a #4 onto the same carabiner so It is easy to get the right size nut or chock into the crack. Lemme see if I can find some more shots for you folks.

Here we go. This was a 2 day scramble up into what turned out to be a box canyon filled with all sorts of toxic plants. I'm in the debris just below the main walls near the highest entry point. Notice my helmet? The rope is a 10 millimeter static line. If I believed there were any fall potential I would have a dynamic rope but most of this trip was either scrambling up or rappelling down.
So? Just Why would someone climbing alone have a belay device with them??

I can catch brook trout all day on my #6 flyrod and use salt water spinning gear to catch the goldies and lakers. I'm also very fond of the braided line Cabelas sells.
I'm still sorting out my photos and notes. I do plan to post some thorough gear and kit reviews here. This will include what failed and the blunders I made.
