  These days you would have to be incredibly stupid to attempt the South Col or the North Ridge. You would be totally at the mercy of all of the gumbies blocking the way. People who want to claim an Everest ascent at the water cooler but don't even know how to put on crampons, sheesh!

  @Heyzeus said in Night Climbers of Islamabad: The link didn't work? I thought I checked and it was OK. What did I do wrong? I hit the hyper-link icon and pasted address. Hmmm. Link worked fine as you posted it. I just tuned it to link from a descriptive bit it text: "Pakistani climbers", rather than "Link here". One of those more esoteric aspects. Don't sweat it.

  @Skywalker said in Driving to Colorado From SD (Ca): "Zion is booked." Maybe not. I showed up on a weekday at the north entrance @ 4:00pm; the "Campgrounds Full" sign was out and the entrance ranger said I'd have no luck getting a site. I drove in anyway and pulled into the South Campground, the camp host said it was full but check out the Watchman Campground. That camp host said it was full, but I could stay one night in one of the group campsites (along with possibly others), then get up at 6:00am, leave my camp set up & drive to South Campground and get in line. I was fourth in line (100% dirtbaggers) and by 9:00am had a spot for five days! Drove back and grabbed my gear. The campgrounds are super convenient; a short walk to transit, the grocery store, tavern, and an outdoor shop that'll rent you waterproof shoes and pants if you want to hike the Narrows. I didn't drive my car for five days.

  @toby Lol! I've been having to do a lot of computer work lately and Redpoint helps get me through the mind-numbing slog. Probably won't be as attentive once I'm back in my art studio....that'll be your job again. 100 is a nice milestone. Congrats!
