Bet I was warmer at DT than patagonia Sunday Jim. Jack did a great job leading Walt Bailey which was his first time leading anything that would go to the summit. I think he put in as few ofpieces as I ever have.

Nice going Mike and Jack!
Sacred Pools....it's name is Cerro Colorado and, yes, I have tried it out, initially with Jay Smith, Jim Turner and Thom Englebach. There are a number of multi and single pitch routes up to 5.12. We were among the first to climb there.
People are beginning to come there from Brazil, Chile and Argentina

Jim are you in South America right now? I see Cory a fair bit and have ran into Tom a couple of times. I would like to do some spring skiing down on Red Mountain Pass and check out some crags in the area this year. We drove to the top of Ophir Pass in my subby last year abd I wanted to check out the Ophir Wall, but I was to scared to drive it down the other side. Some jeepers we ran into said they had just cut the road out of the snowfield that day. What do you think of Gunnison there is a job open down there that may be of interest.
BTW that thing looks so cool I feel I have to see it. I would say that is one of the best examples of that kind of formation I have ever see in person or in pictures. Is it a 5th class summit?

Where's the most recent Wyoming thread?
It was
"Have you climbed in the Tetons" - or some such ?
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/2743302/Have-you-climbed-in-the-Tetons
It was an awsome tome !
So many have toiled up that stuff as an introduction.
Some even love
Those long walks
slow grey sunrise hikes
to beat. The back-packers
I've mostly not been back there
As there is to much
-ah', where are we ?-
-the middle of No-Where, in Wyoming-
Then again I know what's there
So there is no better place
that you could pick to go
to get to climb something big.
Between the climbing and skiing
only California, Utah, Montana & Idahoe ? Canada?
Can hold a candle to the Cowboy State
Why oh why Wyoming !

Hey brave Cowboy!
There is a tease of a thread here on the Ta o.

Did you land a silent Partner?
Some one was offering ~ and Jeffo posted a "want"( WTB) on Mountain Reject.
Still haven't got around to Put a sock in it! ( wierd, that that thread went that way !)

Spring has sprung and I am awaiting the blossoming of Wyoming 22 plates in Indian Creek. Perhaps the heavy snow year will extend the ski season and grant a brief reprieve.

i've had wyoming plates with county designators 4, 11, 17, 19 and 22 and can't think of ever having paid rent other than having spent a fair bit of per diem dough. rarely had a matching driver's license except when the tool pusher insisted. expired tags aren't an element of stealthy lifestylin'... oh, and where was that river i should have been down by?
edit: just remembered a vehicle i bought off a lot in rawlins, left the state some kind of legal ... 6!

The county license plate number was determined by county population.....1 for the most populous, 23 for the least. Teton County was number 22 in population out of 23. If designated by the current Wyoming population, Teton County's plates would sport the number 9.
