We're going to have to build ourselves a woody, that's for sure! DOn't think there's any climbing gym for a 300 mile radius.

Yeah, that's cool! I think that'll be our closest climbing opportunity... other than the Pecos River.

Found me an opportunity to have a two day ski mountaineering trip during my week home.
I'm 50/50 about it at the moment, and I'm afraid that if I hold out I may miss the opportunity. I'll need to talk to the rents about this, as it is happening my last weekend home.
Sugarloaf to Squaw Valley... http://www.alpineskills.com/tob_sbsv.html
Do I or don't I?

Junkyards near Canmore? That's a fun place to climb. I used to boulder all over that place when I lived in Banff back in the day. Enjoy!!!

I've gotten out 13 times so far this season.
Maybe 14... maybe 12. I've lost count.
