| Well we have sure had a great stretch of weather lately, but it looks as if it's going to catch up with us later Friday night and into next week. But we are starting to creep into a bit of a rain deficit, so some rain wouldn't be a bad thing overall. And I'm sure we will have more nice days regardless. |

The MWV Ice Fest is considered one of the premier climbing events in the country. For over 32 years it has provided a great opportunity for those attending to network, socialize, try new gear and participate in multiple day courses, one-day technical clinics and privately guided climbs. Don't miss it!

HIGH RISK, CLIMBING TO EXTINCTION

| Brian Hall was an alpinist extraordinaire who cut loose from the massive and heavyweight Bonnington expeditions to pioneer "light and fast” ascents of the world's great peaks. His earlier success as an author was as the co-writer of the award-winning film, Touching the Void. |
| Climbing is about climbing, not talking about climbing, thinking about what you are going to climb, nor thinking about what you are going to think when you've finished climbing! |
