I'll be taking a number to get on zodiac with a friend of mine in late may .. (where do i send my reservation form?) ..
.. in the fall i'd like to hit up a back-country east sierra climbing trip ..
.. finally in the fall, i think its time to saddle up and solo another el cap route ..
that would be an awesome climbing season .. 2 el cap routes, and 1 long ass backpacking/climbing trip in the east sierras..
.. the solo target has not been selected .. though a few canadian friends have suggested their pet projects for me, the short list is (in no order)..
1 - Aurora
2 - Zed Em
3 - Sunkist
.. ammon -- any suggestions on what would be a fun solo .. I'd like to do something slightly shorter than last time .. (13 days on South Seas) ..
.. a non-climbing objective though for the season i to run into the monkeys in the valley and have a good laugh or two ..

Carolyn: Not *exactly* sure... We're thinking within the next 3 weeks, however, to make a go at the LTT. Discounting, of course, the weekend I'll be at your place! I'd say a linkup will be in the fall, after a long season with a lot of miles.
Are you and Craig set for DW?
FS would be a proud send, Munge! Nice!
Kate - Ve are going for ze sendingk in a few weeks, yah?

Dragger - Yeah, it's all free. While graded fairly easy, I expect it to be a full on adventure. I've been told it will be. I'm psyched about it, for sure! I think Blaine and I are going to figure out details tonight.
"We'll be in the Valley April 20-22 also May 5-6 then June 7-17. If you're around stop by or stay or let us know if you'll have radios."
Is it party time again already?! You can always count me in to contribute and hang out! If it's the same weekend we take on that monster, we might need to contribute a little bit more. I know I'll be PLENTY hungry and thirsty! =)
"Define "set". HA! ;^)"
You've purchased the wine and cigars for this, right? What else is left? =)

" Are you and Craig set for DW? " -
Making it up the first two walls is about all the practice I need for DW. Quitting my job isn't going to hurt either.
And yes, it's party time again........

"Quitting my job isn't going to hurt either. "
I guess you did mention that you're hoping to retire soon, didn't you?

Greg Cameron RE:
"Ever since reading Peter Haan's fantastic account of Basket Case, I've been thinking I'd like to give it a try. Always hard finding partners for this kind of endeavor, though (hint)."
done Blind Faith?
I agree Basket Case looks imposing but thought Blind Faith was all time classic (less flare more straight in) and just nutty out there lookin'.

Hey Ray. Nobody's given an account of Blind Faith like Peter's of Basket Case. I'm a story guy. I hear a good story, then I want to do it. I'm simple like that.
