Andrew McClean is pretty big in the ski/mountaineering world. Go buy his book The Chuting Gallery. It's cool.

Hey, ya gotta remember I'm just some dumb snowboarder.

Yes, I have heard about him but wanted to know more. Thanks for the links, I will check them out.

Yes, Woodsy, I live here and work and they let me out only for Saturdays and Sundays.

Thanks so much for this. This jogged my memory big time.

"In 1999 Alex Lowe, the dear friend who introduced McLean to alpine touring and wrote the intro to The Chuting Gallery, died on an expedition with McLean to 26,289-foot Shishapangma in the Tibetan Himalaya."

This was a very sad day.

I have been looking for another good book to read. I think I'll check this out.

[Just in case you're not joking....]

Snoop around the Black Diamond website and check out some of his photo galleries. Also whatever month (Oct ?) Powder had with the brownish toned cover had the ski mountaineers articles.

SORRY FOR MY IGNORANCE, OR LACK OF MEMORY!!!

Yes, I was not kidding the first question. The name did not ring a bell. Now it does, thanks for the help.

I'll go crawl in my hole now, stupid JONG.

Sorry - Wasn't trying to be mean - just didn't want to search for info only to have you say - Duh, I was just kidding...

I know, I should have done a quick search before revealing how dumb I can be sometimes.



Edit: and you link is still up, I am reading it in between phone calls. Thanks for the link, it is good info and reading.

no worries buzz,
the real point here is that we have an avy report on Nov 12.

Buzz,
Andrew in my eyes is probably the premierre mountaineer in Utah. If you ever get a chance to ski with him I would highly reccomend it. If not, he does do the occasional slideshow on some of his adventures, well worth catching. He is also a super friendly person who is always willing to give a few pointers or info on the latest big line in the Wasatch.

DING DING DING!!

Before I was REALLY into this kinda stuff, I saw a speaker at USU put on a slideshow and speech about Mountaineering and more. I wonder if it was Andrew? The guy had me mesmorized.

I gotta read more on Andrew for sure.

Thanks for the education guys.
