Kickin’ it in the Cascades: Notes on Guide Training. To contact Jeff. Jeff had been one of Ryan’s instructors during his AMGA Alpine course and he said he was an exceptional teacher. Being gear nerds, Ryan also assured me that Jeff has his systems dialed in to perfection. I am lucky to have a great community of friends to garner professional and climbing beta from and after talking at length with Jeff I felt training with Jeff and Larry would be perfect fit. What does it take to be an alpine guide? Drivi...

Soulfood . harmony . rhythm . lightness. Every minute of life has a story and opportunities for un-asked for advice and whinings. Monday, January 27, 2014.

Accident Report: 11/9 Sister's Superior Tower Jah Man Grade II 5.10. Here's my chance to live my words. I put this on the new forum. Created by the decades old Potomac Mountain Club. I e-mailed it to friends who weren't members of the Potomac Mountain Club. Will I submit this to the Accidents in North American Mountaineering. Jump into the chimney!

Soulfood . harmony . rhythm . lightness. Every minute of life has a story and opportunities for un-asked for advice and whinings. Thursday, February 13, 2014. G etting knocked out a year and a half ago, my vision fading in and out in an ill-ventilated Richmond gymnasium, crying because I was scared and annoyed with myself. (The silver lining was getting closer to the tall dark handsome heavyweight on the Virginia team, as he doctored me with anti-pain medicine, care, and understanding).

Soulfood . harmony . rhythm . lightness. Every minute of life has a story and opportunities for un-asked for advice and whinings. Sunday, January 26, 2014. 2011 was a year for big transitions, from not working, to the anxiety of being jobless and needing the security of a salaried gig. 2012 - was perhaps about getting more settled - and perhaps seeing after I wrote the summaries - of giving myself healthy doses of mountains:. June - With a bum knee, started taking opera singing lesson. Yes, opera sin...

Rope Review: New England Maxim 9.9 70m | Brooklyngoilinnewpaltz's Weblog
https://brooklyngoilinnewpaltz.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/rope-review-new-england-maxim-9-9-70m
Rope Review: New England Maxim 9.9 70m. After a full season of ice guiding I feel like it still has much life left in it for the spring and summer. The rope did get about 10 feet cut off of one end after a client core shot it with his ice axe but other than that there is nothing but minor wear and tear. Less wear and tear than I’ve experienced with other ropes with similar stats. March 22, 2013. Tags: climbing. Be the first to comment! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

EVEREST!!!!!! my 2 cents | Brooklyngoilinnewpaltz's Weblog

8220;it’s like a morgue”. 8220;it’s a conga line”. It’ll be worth sussing out the details after this season is over and we have time to process things. Many experienced climbers and guides have decided this is a bad season while others equally experienced have gone ahead w. there efforts. What role the conditions played in these tragedies and what human factors occurred will take time to examine. In the meantime read Freddie Wilkinson’s excellent op ed in the NYT’s and talk amongst yourselves.
