Hi all
My brother and I are going to hit up longs peak this next weekend. Overnight in the boulderfield then summit on Sunday. Back up plan is NW gully or Keyhole ridge. Does anybody want to join us?

Just moved backed out here after years away. Can't wait til next season to get back in the mtns. I'm in the Bay Area, happy to do the driving, or share gas, or whatever.

Would prefer something with real climbing, albeit easy?, snow and ice fine. N. Arete Matterhorn, Bear Creek Spire, something in Minarets?

Is anyone going to Royal Robbins lecture next week? which includes a preview of the climbing exhibit.

Hi,

Looking to get away for a week or so alone this coming January. I'm looking for some idea's on mountains within 12-15 hours of Iowa (it takes me roughly 11 hours to get to Estes Park, CO) for doing some solo (obviously winter) ascents.

I originally considered the presidents, but just don't feel like doing a 20+ hour drive alone, I would call myself beginner - moderate skills (comfortable in crampons and ice axe, ...

Does anybody have any information on the icefall conditions at Mount Lincoln? I'm wondering if it is coming in and available to climb yet...

thanks.

I understand that ACH is opening the first weekend of December.

It's official! I'm now the manager of the Base Camp Museum Store at the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum in Golden. It's one of those non-profit do-what-it-takes-to-make-it-work positions. But do you know what it's like to work in the middle of your inspiration? This is the first job I've ever had where I leave it in a better mood than when I arrive.
