Hiked all the way up to Sugarloaf once, only to turn around and head back. Wind coming through that pass was like a jet airplane in your ear. Haven't made it back yet.

Lynne....hello, did you look at all the pix?
There can't be two Buggs that look like that...and climb, can there?
Yes it is he, the one, the only cosmic Buggman!!
By the way, he says hi back.
They won't let him back into Nepal. Something about some fake money...I don't know....

We didn't really want a guide book for this first trip down there. It was actually really fun to just purposely go for adventure and exploration!

Heh, nice job! We were strongly debating those Middle Ear formations.
Yeah Steelmonkey, I hear you about that wind at Sugarloaf. We were too dumb to turn around at the early warning signs, and had to wait til the wind more forcefully told us to go down:

Bummer.
After missing connecting with you all
I'm disappointed I probably won't get the opportunity
this year. Well, I hope where ever you all go to you
have way too much fun.

If I didn't have school and work, believe me, I would.
Oh, how I long to be back out on rock. . .

Hi Buggs, Hi survival,
My first guess on where you were was the new climbing wall at wallmart. They have these virtual reality rooms so that you can make it look like you went on a real adventure. K2, Everest, El Cap, Half dome.. You name it. Put on correct gear, plug in the correct video and wha.. laaa.. you are there.
Nice choice on the southwest theme.
Did Buggs chew you out for not selecting the correct warm weather button?
