These are all off my phone. It's too bad I didn't have my camera with me on this trip. It'd be nice to have better copies of these. I think there are some good ones.

My toes still tingle and are numb. My AT boots aren't that great for winter mountaineering.

I missed Magnus when he was over here but I'm headed to Austin for work from the 8th to the 15th. Perhaps I'll run in to Kachoong. I missed Mangus, when he was in the same city at the same time. 
I'm sure that was hard to do... with the hair 'n' all, I mean...
You guys should consider Hueco at the end of the year (Oct/Nov) as a possibility to meet up. Teh Zeek and I threw the thought out there.

Yeah, just bought new ones. But they're just not that warm. They're wonderful amazing boots...just not warm. During the day they're fine. But below freezing, there are deffinetly issues.

Yeah, I keep thinking about it, but I have to clean it up and organize it. I've actually been using it lately, which is good. And it's always cold and rainy so I don't want to be out in the garage.

You need some thick, but compressable, down booties to change into between stints. I've done this while mountaineering. Have them handy, so during snack breaks (and in obvious areas of safety) I pull em out and warm my feet up. Is best at the end of the day though.... mmmmmmm.... down bootiez!!

Going to climb tomorrow. 1200 feet of granite, here I come. DAMN I want to make it back to Laurel Knob!! Be BOLD but safe. Have fun. We got our butts kicked. We tried to climb seconds even though the groove was a waterfall. I took a fall on pitch two when a foothold kitty littered. Needless to say, we did not finish. The entire approach was through 10 inches of snow, and we had to take off our shoes to ford a shin deep creek. A really good adventure. I was wondering how wet things were going to be with the runoff and all. Sounds like some good North Carolina style fun. It was a lot less wet than I was expecting, but enough to shut us down. I think a more experienced party would have been fine. Don't feel bad, the one time I went, I didn't summit either. Cold temps, wet conditions and a partner with the flu turned out to be precisely the wrong combination. Clearly outmatched, we backtracked and got thoroughly horrorshowed on Big Green. It was pathetic really. We ended up backtracking even further and nursed our wounds at Stone Mtn. instead. Not one of my more inspiring trips. Funny thing is. This weekend I climbed slab that was much harder with even less gear, and I wasn't sketched at all. There will be days like this my momma said... Mine didn't
Obviously she had you listening to the wrong radio stations when you were a kid.
