Are you actually going guided, or did you just link that for the route description?
I'm a big pussy, and consequently don't like doing winter multiday tours that don't involve huts. Other then that that it looks like a blast! (Slightly jealous here).
How many miles is it? Maybe you could do it in a day, thus eleiminating the uncomfortable night, AND spend more time with your folks.... just a thought.

This tour is sans hut, and I'd assume that we'd be digging caves and doing the sleep on pad on skis trick. I am interested in the guided tour as I'll learn a few skills quickly this way instead of poor reasearch and trial and error.
Total milage is somewhere in the realm of 16 miles. That'd be one HELL of a day if I were to do it in one push. My quads won't take that type of abuse, plus it is mostly in the 9000 to 11000 foot elevation range. I live 40' above the ocean...
Like I said I'll need to run it by the rents first.

That helped with set-up/installation fee and some of the year subscription I got initially. I think it ended up cost about $160 for the first year, and after the $50 was taken off it was $110... very affordable for a year. Now that I'm moving out to West Texas it'll be very handy to have all the stations available. Good gawd, why are you moving there?!!!!!!!!! ....coz I miss the outback.... Seriously, it's a long story, but Newbie and I will both be getting work there, and it'll be a chance for us to finally live together. Woo Hoo!!!! I'd live at the bottom of a pit in a Fire Swamp if I could get a chance to live with her. Fair enough, but that is a pretty serious wasteland. What/where are the jobs? I remember when I lived in Dallas. My ex and I would drive to Albuquerque for holidays and longer weekends to visit his mother. It always amazed me how much of absolutely fricken nothing was there. Made that drive unbearable. Although every now and then we'd see the camels in this one field on the way. No kidding. Camels! Poor guy. Enjoy hueco tanks. 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.
You should ask chossy for tips, their wall is awesome

Looks like all the fuXX0rz I climb with are bailing/working... so solo climbing is looking more and more likely. Only question is --- Ice or Aid??? OR solo skiing, though thats pretty sketchy in the bc
Great day today, Can't really complain about anything. Oh, I probably threw at least 3 or 4 dumps down today... so I'm kicking your ass in that department.

This number would be single digits if a) i did not climb with random people from the internet, and b) i did not rope solo.
