Princeton snow conditions (East slopes)
Has anyone been up that way recently?

Yeah, but some jerk got his truck stuck a few feet short of the trail head...

Re: Princeton snow conditions (East slopes)
Just on Yale today, the North face of Princeton is almost completely bare. All the Collegiates are thin, we were unable to find any good continuous lines on Yale.
Such things for example as the grasp of a child's hand in your own, the flavor of an apple, the embrace of a friend or lover...sunlight on rock and leaves, the feel of music, the bark of a tree, the abrasion of granite and sand, the plunge of clear water into a pool, the face of the wind--- what else is there? What else do we need?

Ya I saw that A hole and the two other idiots! I heard through the grapevine that they were rescued by Qwest workers in their snowcat.dannyg23 wrote:Yeah, but some jerk got his truck stuck a few feet short of the trail head...
Lesson from them: Starting at the lower elevation is not always bad. Bringing a winch and pulley is adviseable if you are planning on doing some hairy 4 wheeling. Or better yet, buy a snowcat!

How is a lewd woman supposed to help you get out? I doubt that she, alone, would have the strength.FireOnTheMountain wrote:Bringing a wench and pulley is adviseable if you are planning on doing some hairy 4 wheeling.

Gorillas are known for their strength, so bring along a "monkey wench". 
Growing older is inevitable, but getting old is not.
