Hows it going for you guys?

Do that! My usual fall depression keeps me close to suicide anyway, so feel free to give me another stab with your dagger...
Nice job on the Nautilus! I remember climbing chimneys in Saxony. I wouldn't call it fun, but it's definitely an ... interesting variation on the normal face climbing :D
Oh I sooo miss Italy...

stone - sweet, i was never good enough to try dangler while there - have to come back some time - and lead shockley's once more too on that occasion, why not, that's an exhilarating climb, naked or not.
chtur, very nice. btw how is the ski touring season getting on? I finally got skis - now just need to find good boots and some snow and off i go! Anyone wanna give some ski touring 101 lessons out there?
Got some rock in too - spent the holidays exploring Vercors, awesome places with few people such as Mont Aiguille, Archiane and Trois Becs, and then Ombleze. They have too much rock down there - and what is even better - little potential for epics with 200m climbs :shock: :evil: Will try to post pics later...

same here timstich - nice pictures and nice way to replace a helmet :lol:
let's make this an official picture thread for the w-end warriors and pc freaks!
chtur - i was looking at Migot, but haven't tried it yet, did a Coloir de la Breche on the north face of Aiguille du Tour on that w-end and after that my poor partner of the day was not in condition anymore to try anything else (his first 'ice' outing in big mountains with a night descent w/o a headlamp...yes, i know, i know, it's just my way of getting things done and finding partners to climb with... :? )

Must be the season of birthdays. I just wanted to post up that it's Brian's birthday tomorrow, the 8th. He'll be 24. He's the one that had the hollow leg that night at Valle di Mello puttin away all that wine and grappa. Course I don't think he climbed much that next day. He was also at the latest Fonti gathering.
Well his hair ain't yellow anymore and he's bummed that he's gotta work tomorrow. So if you know him or just wanna shout out to a fellow Eurofreak please send him an email. He doesn't use this site but his address is: sawyer_b21@hotmail.com so if you sent him a quick hello it'd make his day.

Roy's hat is distinctive, isn't it? We hiked down from the Sphinx by moonlight if that makes you feel any better Julia. Ha. The summit picture was lit by a flash it was so dark. And I'd love to share my weekend pictures with you guys.
Here's the complete weekend trip report.

oh, awesome, just checked the map - montelimar does look like a nicely situated place, careful now, you might get a visit as i happen to be in the region more often than not - how big is your house? :D btw do you do any alpine, thomas?

Timstich, keep posting some photos since it is always nice to see some from other places! Still if people climbing seem to be from an other planet....
UA, maybe something for you? I talked with a climbing friend yesterday and they started to climb the Super-Couloir on Tacul last weekend, we need a TR from you! However after climbing the first pitches on rock they discovered that they forgotten all the ice-screws when arriving at the ice :lol:

oh sure that sounds familiar - last week i was charged with caring a rope (tied to my back) and quickdraws - in a bunch over my shoulder, so on the tedious approach i rested near a tree and left the quickdraws hanging there...Realized the problem only 30min later while gearing up to climb... :oops: Doing that with ice screws under SC sounds even more exciting, will have to try it out :roll:
