Apparently you haven't seen this classic in the making either.
Bump, to stay above the flotsam and jetsam. Day four =:yourock::yourock::yourock::yourock:
Speaking of shit holes, I found that digging said hole less than a meter wide and exiting to a wider area, then jamming a ski into the snow wall, skins on and skin side up makes for a luxurious shitter. A small room with a padded seat, all full of shit. Sounds like another padded room I know of.
keep 'er coming
Day Five Added...
I posted in this epic thread. Great stuff!
Nice stuff J. Looking forward to the rest. Maybe head to the Revs together next year?
Might be heading to the Selkirks next spring for a hut trip if the lottery works out. If not, then I'm up for the Revs. Can we just plan it for a time that it won't be 20 below though? ;)Quote:

Quick Day 6 update.
Have a couple things in mind, possibly something similar to this trip in a different location. Hut trip in the Selkirks, or possibly the Lyngen Alps in Norway.Quote:

Wonderful photos! That area looks awesome!
Regarding basecamp crappers.... the best setup is a 5 gallon bucket complete with one of those toilet seats. Line the bucket with a big biodegradable corn starch bag (http://www.biobagusa.com/catering.htm) and toss the bag into a crevasse every 2 days (or 3 if it's always below freezing). The luxury setup is to tape foam to the plastic seat but only do that if you're sure it's going to stay below freezing - else you risk the dreaded smear.
Oh Boy another day!
edit: looked over the trip again, some of that stuff looks so friggin steep
Very cool, what great weather you had!
Added Day Eight
damned good.
Added day nine and ten, that almost wraps it up.
Thanks so much! awesomist TR
That looks alright I guess.
What a shitty March... You got like a 25 day weather window, so depressing, thanks for making the most of it!
Hah, pretty ridiculous. Glad we stuck with the plan to fly out of Anchorage. Would've been hosed if we chose SE AK again.Quote:
