if ur home when i get off work at 5 i can drop by

When I said I'd dig it out, I understated it a bit.  Do you need it tonight or would tomorrow be alright?     It is in the far reaches of the storage closet and I think Lance might have used it a time or two on his outings.  I will locate it and give it a good cleansing.

Last night on ebay I took a good offer on Hunky Punk  .....I secretly posted it not thinking the inevitable would happen. Its being shipped off to Wisconsin....but I have my eye on Hunky Punk 2 a new and inproved version with more of an italian heart than HP1. I guess I am restless and my taste has shifted to more rare italian specimens...more to come...hopefully later this week

Hope everyone is doing great!

hey bonfy, you have been to bear lake?  very cool!  I camped there a few times over the years.

I am going to be about 1/4 mile south west of there on a small lake with no defined trail to it 

I was camping there on July 4 a couple of years back with my dogs.  The main trail head was packed for the holiday weekend, so I skipped Bear Lake, pulled out the topo and compass and off I went.  What a find!!  It is at the base of a cliff facing Columbia peak...full of wild trout and not a single person!

I will post up pics when I get back

Sounds awesome!  Can I go?  I have bunk-bed sleeping bags....

You are such a freak, Count Desmo.   

Yes, DDGM, I have camped in Hornfork Basin.  I heard rockfall all night so I was glad I hadn't made camp at the base of a cliff, as you said.  It took me 13 hours to climb Harvard and Columbia that day.  By the time I got down, I had blisters on both of my heels and my hands were raw from the scree chute coming down off Columbia.  My feet were so swollen the next morning I could barely get my boots on.  My calves were swollen and sctached up for three days.  I also fell backwards on this one pitch that scared me bad enough to still remember it.   It was a rugged hike and the theme song from Hugh Montenegro's "A Fistful of Dollars" kept going through my head as I plowed onward across that ridge and the snowfields.  I wondered if I was on my final hike.  That's what I love about climbing though, is going through grueling stuff and learning what the mountain is trying to teach me.
