Every little bit helps.

Did I also mention that my house just burnt down, my dog died, someone stole my identity and emptied my bank account, and I got a paper cut today?

This would be the best 35th birthday present to myself. I could probably round up the funds but it is cash that could go to so many other things like a house down payment, savings, etc.

I figure I should do it now while I can still garnish good gnar points.

F*CK!!! I want this badly.

Arty, get crunching on those casino 'losses' for the fiscal year...I'm sure you'll come up with something creative.

Mattitude, HOUSE DOWN PAYMENT?! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!...dude you live in Manhattan Beach.

I'm still waiting for the "woe is me I have a job and have to actually work now" plea.

Even if I had the money, I couldn't go. I don't get vacation time until next year. :(

Edit: CS is a bastard. :D

You just need a convenient "death in the family".

Yeah, cuz that's not a great way to jinx yourself or anything! ;)

This is my favorite TR ever, Arty. Nice work.

Yeah - I guess you probably wouldn't want the karmic snap back from that one, would you?

All the money in the world wouldn't have saved me since I didn't have any vacation days this winter. Ok, well all the money in the world would have saved me since I wouldn't have to work. But I think you get the point. ;)

Damn...dreaming of AK again...

The reality is much larger. Much more awe inspiring.

You try to tell yourself that you live higher than the peak you’re currently standing on…but it doesn’t matter. You’ve just unloaded onto a ridge barely large enough for you, much less your group. The pucker factor is high. If you take a wrong step and slip off the back, there’s a good chance you’ll die.

Your desired line in front of you is 2,000 to 4,000 vertical of steep, wild terrain with glacial runouts going for miles. Then you see it…your line. Focus sets in…a huge smile creeps over your face…you drop in…

Welcome to Alaska.
