I actually got shut down once getting out yesterday and had to get out and try a different angle which worked, but not before i went thru a good 15 minute paddle battle to get out. Out of all of the super phyisically demanding shit i do, nothing compares to non stop paddle battles. The 2 hour mtb ride yesterday am before surfing didn't help much:DQuote:

And ironic timing too, given that our 9mm-toting gray-wolf-fearing backcountry travelere is now prominently featured in ... well, look here for an update:

^Saw that story yesterday. Very odd indeed.
Damn! That's horrible. Too bad they scattered, but so easy to say sitting here. Just kids. So sad.Quote:

Best advice you can give your bonehead buddy is to take a mountaineering course. The many elementary mistakes he made and the fact, at least from that article, that he hasn't learned much since is just scary. Best advice for you - choose better partners if you bc ski. You'll live longer. Epic fail.Quote:

^^^ I feel better!
The last paragraph says it all: "I got some heat for going alone. If I had gone with a partner or two it would have been two or three of us down there instead of one. In the end, I'll be back to King Ravine next year..."
Complete and utter moron.
The only thing he did right was drag his sorry ass 7 miles out and not cost tax payers anything for his stupidity. Hoping I won't be around the next time ding-dong goes bc skiing.
Yup, on both counts, exactly what I was thinking.Quote:
