Maybe call in a professional, like St. George?
I dunno.
I think you've got what it takes to take it on.

That is some beautiful country but i don't see no dragons. That is unless they be wearing a baseball cap.

What kinda rock is that anyway?

Looks similar to the precambrian chossy gneiss of the Indian Peak’s…frightening.

I'm guessing igneous Intrusions sandwiched in the overthrust.

It's 3.5+ billion year old Basement rock--very old granite, I believe.


edit: NOT granite--much older and harder Quarzofeldspathic gneiss. Archean basement complex.

get the loads off your back, save your knees for skiing. you guys need some packin stock. those equine hesitate, the llamas don't fit your image. raise you up some mutant size goats. you won't need as many beasts once the dragon has been dispatched. investigate the culinary arts of the middle east. aquire exotic spices. bring sharp knives. fashion a spit. stay another week. suspend the meat from a float in the lake. are you guys buccaneers or not?... grizzlies don't swim do they?

I was actually reading about goat packing recently...sounds like a good way to go about things.

Goat, aside from breaking a few Federal laws for your proposal, I'd be happy to climb the route after you've done all the work on it:-)

Damnit, I'm so screwed.

Llamas sound better plus they provide warmth when snuggling at night.

Air drops and animal-aid are all that's legal. Finding a pilot who'd land the ship in pirate fashion could be the crux for your desires, Blue:-)


edit: I s'pose technically that you could rap from the chopper if you had a long enough line (say 500+').

you know, if you put a beef or two at the end of the pack train, you could have fresh steaks in basecamp.
