You need to bring your boots over this week so we can try some crampons on them. I think we have a set that will work. Thats the problem I don't really have a cold weather clothing system. And thursday is the tentative night. I will bring the boots And the videos. What time are you coming over? We might quick sneak out after Bec gets done with work for a short bit. If there is climbable ice.

When she was still learning to be potty trained, she had a BAD episode. We came home to 4 separate piles of diarrhea in our bathroom. She had splattered it up about 2-3 feet onto the wall, but she was only about a foot tall at the time. In addition to that, she had learned that poop inside was bad. So she didn't want to have it in the bathroom with her. She had obviously tried to clean up a couple of piles WITH HER TONGUE. It was horrible to clean that up. That night she ended up having diarrhea on our bedroom floor. I suspect she didn't get a settled stomach in part because she ate so much of the diarrhea earlier in the day. Yea, I am glad I heard her and got up to take her outside. Thanks for sharing. Thats worse than stuff kids do. When my brother was little he took a dump in the toilet then grabbed it and threw it at my sister... Inside the house. He missed, but he did leave a big streak across a chair.
AWESOME!!!

What solid sandstone is close to you (west coast choss doesn't count)? define "west coast choss"? there's sandstone in Santa Barbara, a couple hours away, I've heard it's decent. Tick Rock is sandstone (15 minutes from my apt), though it probably qualifies as "west coast choss". Red Rocks, stuff in Arizona, etc.
definitely

You can blow your life savings on hookers and gambling after that. Northern alliance where? Come on, place date and commitment. Quebec? The thing is I don't know where we would park a trailer when out iceclimbing. I'm sure there are some good out of the way places where we wouldn't get hassled, but I don't know where. If we have to pay $30 for a camp site we might as well get a hotel room. Makes sense, plus the extra gas used in pulling the pig trailer makes up for that. And split the room cost its not too expensive You can get a room for four in Pont Rouge for around $60. They aren't great rooms but there is a bar attached to it. Any motel with a bar attached is good. Oh, but you aren't talking about a ripper bar are you??? You mean a stripper bar? No, it isn't. Yep, ripper bar. It's what we call them. So when are we going? You've got the busy schedule so speak up. Doc, your weekends go Sat-Tues or Fri-Mon? Its damn cold there right now. -19c on its way to -26c tonight.
Thurs-Sundays starting early feb.

Hopefully we will have some climbable ice soon. by now there is ice formed up at the PA spots. I am surprised you don't have something somewhere in the mountains Mountains? It just got cold here the other day. We swung by the place close to home and it was still a long way from having anything solid enough to get on. All the ice there is hanging so it needs some time to get big enough that you don't knock it all down while trying to climb it. The 403 probably has some stuff, but not enough to drive all the way out there. Ice can form quick if the rock is already frozen but it has been so warm the ground had probably lost a lot of its frost. I doubt PA has much in the way of climbable ice yet. No mountains around you? That explains your recent road trip. It has been "very" cold here for around 5 days. I think it is expected to stay cold through the rest of this week. If there isn't ice yet, it should be close to forming. Well yeah we have mountains. Just right out the back door of our cabin. As soon as I'm done chopping wood today I'll try and take some pictures. I'll see If I can get a picture of an igloo too.
Get all those cute little sled dogs in the picture too!

I guess you are saying there isn't enough incline, then? Its called the Escarpment. It runs from WNY around the Great Lakes and into Eastern WI. It is made of choss and in some places actually resembles a cliff. Mostly though it just looks like a pile of rubble. Otherwise it is flat. I got GU, but I must say I do like my description better. You have such a hate on for Onterrible.

I saw the title change. I didn't think twice and clicked on it. Damn! I was fooled! the Chosser has been missing for the last few days. I hope the house finishes up soon. I need more diversions. GG, your showers are superb I assume? No shower curtain yet.  But the shower stall does look superb!  Maybe I should snap some photos. All you need is a cheap plastic sheet. We have a shower curtain. We needed to decide on a curtain rod. Now I need to get new ends for the rod we have and carefully drill holes through the tile to hang it up. I worked a summer as a tiler for a construction firm. Tile work sucks. The part I hated most was sealing the grout. I was sealing it today. The roller thing that came with the sealer just leaked all over so I ended up using a small paintbrush. It took forever! real pain wasn't it! I should ahve just taped a long stick to the brush, gabbed a couple beers and just laid in the tub while doing it. It would have been pretty sloppy though. I had to keep wiping up the dribbles as it was . Bathrooms never seem to have enough ventilation so I always got one mean mother of a headache from the fumes.
I painted a closet in the army once. Couldn't walk straight from all the fumes for a while after that. Damn did it look good tho.

Not so many good pics... No avalanches to the face either.
I actually only got to climb one pitch per day. Kind of disappointed, but it happens.

I'm hoping that we can hit our close to home spot Wed. or Thurs. I don't know if the ice will be ready yet there though. I've seen the one route form up in two days, but the rock was already pretty frozen and it got very cold. That route takes the least amount of ice to climb the route. All the others it needs to be big enough to climb up and have it not fall down. It would suck to knock down a well forming drip making have to start over. Or have it fall on us. it will be up to 8 or 9 days of cold by this weekend, but only 2-3 days were below 20. Snow is due Tuesday and Thursday. We should be able to get out to xc skiing. woot
Cross country skiing....

Went climbing sunday and today. Sunday tried to find a climb usually led from the top. Did not work so well, but were able to get on something. Had to rig a superman anchor with 40' extensions.
Today, belayed a bail job on a WI4 that the guy wasn't comfortable with. Was kinda brittle. Cracks forming on ice he was climbing, so we rigged something.
