Cool shots from Ghost and Jim B. Matching red socks, red aiders and a red harness, c/w a pink rope..... Oooooh my! and that fuchsia shirt too. Just kiddin'.
Several posts have mentioned hiking down with only one headlamp. The trick here is for the person behind to have the light, and shine it at his partner's feet. We found this out the hard way--of course.
Four of us, including a well-known climber from Golden, set out at a reasonably early time to do Louis. Since history says that Kain and MacCarthy started their FA at noon, after a leisurely picnic at the base with the ladies, we expected a similarly short day [if not shorter!]. Perhaps it was the raps which slowed us down, as four people are always slow, the raps on Louis are awkward, and walking down the scree slope is tedious. When we were all finally assembled on the trail it was midnight, and we had one headlamp between four. Duh! With four people it worked best if the third person had the headlamp.
We made it back to Canmore at about 2am, after a 20 hour day. Our egos eventually recovered.

gf: The doctrine of V2 was determined to be "non-infallible" [huh?] which should give one some flexibility in compliance. Regardless, female visits to C4 were few and far between, esp when there was a foot of snow on the ground. Unless you had brought your own gf [no pun intended!]. The waitress in the photo served me equal amounts of hot coffee and cold shoulder--on a daily basis.
There is a story told that a climber once overheard a YPCC male employee saying to a female employee, "Never go to that climbers' campground. It's like a leper colony over there".
Big Mike, or is it Big Bike these days? Hamish F's influence perhaps? I certainly never intended to suggest that anyone is a 'pussy'. Apologies if it came out that way. I'm impressed that you guys are getting out so often. We're setting lots of all-time records for rain etc up here, and climbing days are rare.

I second that V2 comment !
Vatican 2 certainly had some devils in the details. A 60's take on hetero don't ask, don't tell.
Ultimately it was about feeling good about feeling bad about feeling good...

Dru may be self-referential - that is to say, Doctor Brayshaw, I presume? If so, congratulations!

As in "I thought I told you to shut up?"
But he's hardly said anything lately.
