The whole town is within walking distance of the park... It just isn't that big of a place... I suppose it would be a pain if you got one down by the public hot springs, but if your up on the hill it's not that far.

D (and RAF), for DF 6.0 we've got some 18 year old Maccallan and a 15 year old Glenlivet.

The 18 year old Macca better be GOOD for the price I paid!

Near Ledge is still in business, but now with a new owner. Seems real nice. I've stayed there twice since the change. Short walk to EMS and IME, as well as all the main street N. Conway stuff.

I personally witnessed Smikey endure....nay.....enjoy some of the coldest, nastiest weather I have ever seen. But I agree....why camp out inthe cold when you can stay warm and dry your gear.

Enjoyment or punishment?

Again, beautiful shot. Dike route? I had "soloed" that along side a friend in similar conditions for a few pitches until the second gust in a row had spun me out to hang by a tool and crampon on the same side. That, combined with spindrift blindness and the filling of my clothes with snow every 15-20 seconds, lead me to down climb; later that night to be eating burgers after a hot shower. Guess that sums up how I felt about it that day.

fake fake.... this picture is a fake.... I call Bull$hit... this has got photoshop all over it

Alas my Elvis worhipping friend, it is not a fake. That is indeed some silly individual trying to solo up the first pitch of Pinnacle Gully in about 10 below zero temps and wind gusts of about 60-70 mph. The complete freezing shut of the right eye was the final straw.

Been meaning to do that one for a long time. Looks as bad conditions as I've always imagined.

thats what i like about living in Davis. an hour and a half give or take in either direction and you have snow/ice or the ocean. we were just out snowshoing today. did well consider we are both rehabbing injuries
