Comments test

Scott mentioned there were some problems posting comments. With the move from the old blogger to the new google accounts there have been a few technical issues. Since comments here are always light (as is posting :) I decided to move from the recent comment feature of the meta whatever hack to regular blogger comments. Maybe sometime they will have a recent comment feature on the side bar. So if you can't comment for a while, be patient.

Crandell Knife Edge

A few years ago I whipped up a short video of a trip up the knife edge ridge on Crandell. Looking at it now, it seems pretty lame, but I thought I would post it anyways. The ridge is quite nice even in wintery conditions.

Quick & Dirty/Forum Ridge

Saturday Mark and i climbed Quick & Dirty and then continued (post holed) our way up the gully to climb the upper falls above Quick & Dirty. Not a soul around anywhere. The ice is in excellent condition, both Quick & Dirty and the upper falls.
Today Brett and skied up Forum Ridge to bag a few turns. Pretty warm temps and lots of wind up on the ridge. We skied the slope down to Cameron Lake. The snow was variable but still some pretty decent skiing but with the wind and the warm temps it will probably get crappy pretty quick. The skiing would have been better back down the ridge towards Akimina Pass.
