You are correct.



$1300-1900 to climb at the Pinnacles in a group as large as 9? And $70 extra if you want your own motel room?



Do they do a good business? I mean, Hans is cool and all but that is some big money.

I doubt Dave knows his pic is being used.  He probably does not mind.  They must have gotten that pic a while ago since that particular pic is'nt posted on any of my sites.  I will have to dig that up then post it up.  The one they have does not have very good resolution.



No shit there I was with Hans....

I wonder if the client could choose the route?? Maybe he has a technique for climbing on pinnacles rock?



Don't worry Mr Mud, after the new guide book comes out you'll be a celeb just like Hans.

So I guess you, the client has to supply the beer? For that much I'd want a chilled 6pack..Imported at that.

Nice glasses. Glad to see you evolved well out of the 80's. :lol:

The scary thing was I remember meeting Mr Mud indirectly in '94 with Charlie. He was driving this scary old Jeep truck and had much longer hair. Aleast I think it was him, no glasses though.



I think they did Hemispheres the next day...

I had contacts for a very brief period of time.  Did not like them since they made getting junk in your eye worse.  I also went without glasses on occasion since I occassionally left a pair in the bottom of a river or broke them playing soccer or something.  One pair of sunglasses lasted a whole week.  Came off during a fairly hard tackle playing soccer.  I was just getting of the ground when I heard a loud crunch.  The guys teammate stepped on them.
