Lots of cams, triples of .3-4 all black diamond. Two sets of BD stoppers, 6 lockers bd large and small, singing rock harness, petzel reverso. 12 Mammut 18" draws with mad rock ultralight wire bents.
It looked something like this:

In the unlikley event that a crack head offers you some climbing gear for a blow job please let me know.
BL2000 ran into me up whitepine on saturday - what a path finder! then he took me up the tram for turns in mark malu - there is still so much snow! thanks Brian!
Skied main chute saturday. 11 others on the summit waiting to drop in..one dude did it naked...wee aside from his pack..
Still holding up...might only last a couple more days though, that choke is getting tight and there is a big rock right in the middle of it.
anyone know who this is? Colorado plates on a van camper

Was rereading the whole thread and came upon this
Spent most of my winter in the pen and with the exception of the clueless twostroke knucleheads who werent understanding where they where, every party I encountered had some form of a shiteatin grin kind words and a nice gental feeling of warm fuzziness. Could have been cause this season was EPIC brah, or it could have been cause I tour a lot w/ hot chicas, or cause Im so damn safe I missed the angst but it was pleasent to see so many smiles and good vibes even on crowded days.Quote:
