What's the story?

Evan and Iezzoni are going to Shasta. Death for sure there. I predict they don't get out of the truck.

Shasta in January? They will surely die. What kind of gear are they going to leave to us?

I will be climbing out of bed in the mornings and climbing into bed in the evenings...does that count?

If they do leave the truck they should just go snowboarding. The power up there is unreal...deeeep stuff in them trees.

I like to wait for a 3 day high pressure window and then drive up quick as you can. It sure beats driving up and getting shut down with crappy weather.

Rain, rain, rain...

Home Despot on Saturday to buy a table saw and other implements of destruction. Maybe I'll start building the climbing wall at Leslie's? Garage days again - you'll all make the 2.5 hour drive, right? Got booze and a hottub (well, after next week when I get it fixed)!

Yep rain across the state on Sat.

I have been on Shasta in the winter. It is awesome, but the chances of getting very far up in winter storm conditions are slim and none. Even with skis the powder is so deep it is slow goin. Good chance to get those good winter camping shots.

Did not suffer to much on Shasta in the winter except on approachs. After that we had a big tent, books and alcohol and lots of food.

Oh yes.....my 4 season TNF tent got shreaded beacuse, get this, the material froze and cracked. FUll on warranty after that. At least the Vodka and chocolate kept me warm. Too bad I was sharing the tent with a man and not some hawt bitches like the p'daddy that I'm not:-)

Bibler for LIfe

squiddo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2006, 12:12:18 PM »

Used a Bib the last two times out in conditions. Haven't gone there yet (outside of the b'wall bivy) but I will.

salad · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2006, 02:57:11 PM »

like my bibler tempest. bought it 4 years ago and didnt get to use it until two months ago (had to cancel first trip when mom got sick, then had a kid, and well, you know).

anyway, like it alot, havent used it in weather tho. easy to set up, like the two vesties.

my bib bivy has a big fuckin hole in it from a rat.

I did not do eet.

I remember after a night high up on Casuval, during a nasty Mr Mud, Jake's first words are "let's wait the storm out". Not! We were down in Shasta city having pizza in 2hrs.

I'd rather go up and ski / board the trees. The powder on the mountain is unreal.

Who's up for a trip?

The Big · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2006, 06:20:03 PM »

climb bike scuba

F4? · « **Reply #16 on:** January 18, 2006, 06:29:36 PM »

Well??? What's the plan? I haven't checked the weather yet. Both days look open for me.

If it's wet, I'm diving.

Munge, I'll bounce test those ailiens for you!

The Big · « **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2006, 09:42:03 PM »

Current plan is climbing Sat, diving Sun.

Brad Young · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:18:29 PM »

Saturday with Harden on the Old Original and Fish Breath Arete (great places to do photos and work on maps and topos). Sunday with Lane on the Citadel (climbing and maps, photos and topos). That is unless he's dead ('cause if he bails he will be). Monday finishing my only project at Pinns with Harden (tenative name: Turd Merchant).

Old Original has been on my list. My bro and I will be climbing together.
