Graham Doe- Is that a polaris ranger with tracks?
How well does it work?
My dad has been talking about getting one, but I keep thinking it would get stuck as soon as you take it off a road. If it does get stuck, how do you get out?
Where we are, we deal with a lot of snow over sage brush, so until the stuff consolidates, our polaris 700 punches through a lot. Even on the road after a big dump there are no guarantees and that an old powder sled.
I like getting rides to the top of the hill so I can ski down, so I'm always interested in anything that can carry passengers.

Me and my buddy Ezra will be going for a re-match on Wamello Dome's South Pillar route around May 1st.
I shouldn't have any problems with the road, should I? Anybody?

You might. The amount of snow that got dumped this year might make it a mucky affair. When Cali got a big dump of snow in 1996, we weren't able to get back there with truck till late May. Had to hump it in, 2 miles down the road.

Thanks, mooch. I suppose in 2-3 weeks we'll have a better idea.

Kev -
I must've been half-asleep when I posted last year regarding 'Titanic'. You peaked my interest. Can Mooch play too when the time comes to return to it?

Titanic runs into "Delivering the Goods .10c" after 3.5 pitches.
This feature, "The sail" is expando A3 with a couple good natural hooks to a bolt and then the start of the flared chimney. Scary to think of freeing it.
More loose chimney aiding and BOOM! The Captains Quarters!
Then some thin beaks and the steep!
The 1st Pitch has been freed at .10a. Pretty burly looking after that.
HRMM.....maybe a free attempt?

We have Tollhouse Brian, he is a one man logging company.
Probably have to buy one more saw this year?

Tom - Yup, a Polaris with tracks. Its pretty capable actually. Better than a touring snowmobile but not as good as a mountain sled. He has winches front and rear for getting it unstuck but it can usually reverse out of what ever it gets into. He had to use the winch once that day and he made it all the way out to Iron Lakes.
The snow is turning into "Sierra concrete" now, super hard and compact. Forecast of 3 to 6 inches of fresh by the end of next week. WooHoo! er, I mean bummer...
Takin it in the can...now that was some funny sh#*!
Here we are on Ahwahnee Ledge. I have since switched to "light" beer to save on weight ;-) I know, I know Coors "is" light beer. I actually really like Sam Adams light but ... can't get it in the can!

Thought I'd dust this one off since the word "Tollhouse" was tossed around...
Devin Swisher, Birgit Buss and myself organized that years' Tollhouse Faceoff, with the theme "Climb Naked". This was the design that was on the t-shirts. Greg Powers did the route 'Balls' (5.9) and Diana Foster did the route 'Diana's Delight' (5.9)....both completely naked!! Sad that the Faceoff has faded out of favor these days. Oh, well.....nothing lasts forever. Good times, good mammories....er, memories. *cough cough*
Ok folks....sorry if I took this one too far "south".
Anyone up for Naked Salsafest?!?

Speaking of Tollhouse... is it in shape for spring climbing? Anyone been lately? Any runoff? How's it looking? Thanks
