It's funny how people would act differently if they were to meet in real life.

Burchey: reference your comment at the top of page 20 as an answer to your clueless state of mind. Do you have any other modes of operation other than making fun of people?

Ahhhh

I see the confusion. Makes a little more sense. You said "4th class ramp" in your post.

Then I said "you're face is a fourth class ramp".

You're is my little joke - I try to use the wrong form of this word whenever possible, because I like to see people call me out on it because they can't help themselves.

Face, is another one of my stupid jokes. Everything with me is "you're face is ________".

My friends would recognize this immediately, but being that we are definitely not friends, I understand you're confusion.

On top of that, history shows a certain pattern of thinking that everything is about a certain someone, so combine that with the fact that I used a few words you referenced in a previous post, I could TOTALLY see why you thought I was "making fun of you".

Not the case, and a tragic confusion. I hope this all makes sense. I had hoped, because I didn't quote you, there would be no confusion.

What do people have to do, Burchey? Apologize for not being as cool as you?

What does it take?

Not sure I follow. Burch and cool ain't never in the same sentence.

However, if we could only all drive 7 series, then the playing field would be level indeed.

Having met Burchey, Chad, and Daria in real life I could say you all would get along if you actually met. Everyone has their own sense of humor and personality imperfections. You all can be united by the fact that you met me and know how awesome I am! LOL

I had to pull over the beamer in front of one of my parents beach properties when I read this...lulziest thing I've read all day.

Soooo - I climbed Muriel Peak today. I will tell you that there were nearly as many backpackers at Piute Pass as there were mosquitos at North Lake parking lot this afternoon. YUK on both!

Right, because up until that post by Deb, there wasn't any.

^^^not as much as there should be in a thread of such title that's on page 21.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Thank goodness you contributed those photos and descriptions of conditions on page waityoudidn'tpostanything.

My suggestion would be to stick to whatever it is you do best, and not engage me in what it is that I do best.

And post some conditions.

Guilty as charged. Life is in a state of upheaval right now, so unfortunately atypical amount of time in the backcountry. That said, I also haven't cluttered up a conditions forum thread with a bunch of useless BS.

Exactly what is that, fill the forums with mostly spray?

Since I am now contributing to the exact behavior that I find frustrating I will leave it at that. Cheers

No, but you definitely have pressed fingers against keyboard without knowing what you're talking about. Must be all that upheaval - keeps a person from making points with substantive backing.

Besides pointing out the obvious shortcomings in the logic/posts/etc of others online (and it's so easy), I also like to share current conditions so others can benefit.

Nope. See above ^^^^

Don't leave, just make useful snide comments instead of baseless ones. Also, climb and post it up when you get out from under whatever it is that's bogging you down.

Three days in the Evolution area. Snowline is at 11,500 feet on north slopes and in cirques pretty much everywhere. Camp at Sunset Lake one night, had a bit of slush on it the day I arrived but was pretty impressive how much it changed in 24 hours. Probably be all gone within a couple days. Same with Echo Lake. Did the NE couloir on Mount Powell, was able to follow a finger of snow at least 80% of the way up until it gave way to rock. Treasure Col was in good conditions. Snow was ideal really. Hard packed in the morning and covering most of the talus and not much else. Perfect for glissading in the afternoon. I'll see if I can post pics in the next day or two.

Wales (L) and Wallace (R) Lakes Basin this past weekend:



Looking south from the kitty litter slopes of Mt. Barnard:



Wish I could have finished the final 800vert (because the other 3K+ of sand just wasn't enough yet!) but the leg really started squawking and swelling. Stitches come out tomorrow!!



Sunset was worth it:
