    Which 4 way intersection are you talking about- do you mean the trails up there or a road? Also, where did you park? Up at the trail head in Willowbrook or are you hitting it from Wildernest or somewhere else?

    How was buffalo? That line is definitely on my checklist to ride. Any info you care to share on the approach and the climb? Did you have to use crampons and an ice axe or could you skin it?

    Thanks!

    GFP … ah I love that phrase.

    Pictures/conditions seem pretty similar to what we rode up here in the NW today. Way to get out and stay safe.

    “Beaver’s Creek” “Bald Spot”….that’s some funny shit. 😆

    I once heard that Telluride had a women’s hockey team called the “Box Canyon Beaver’s.” Now, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it did come from a very accomplished Colorado BC skiier.

    Nice shots Adam, James is always a fun stroll (when not hellaciously windy), but I have to nitpick a little bit 😉

    I don’t think that’s Quandary to the right in this pic:

    While the angle to see all three seems ok from studying a map, I’m pretty sure that is Grizzly Peak, Torrey’s neighbor to the west. Given the elevation of the James…[Read more]

    :drool: (I like this new guy)

    That is one great looking couly and some beautiful shots as always. I really liked the skinning series that had a nice play between sunlight and shadow.

    Looking forward to any more pics that might come from this trip.

    kjkrow replied to the topic Are you thinking about hardboots? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 13 years, 4 months ago

    I don’t have a ton of experience with different set-ups, but I’m probably lankier at 6’5″ and 200 lbs. When I went from my old sloppy boots to the Driver’s after a day to dial out the kinks, I felt so much better in stiff boots. But my board (173 old SD) is also on the softer side.

    Family stoke just plain rocks, that looks like such a great trip.

    On a curiosity note, since you mentioned taking Sky into avy terrain, how in depth did you go with him? What did you teach? What did he already know?

    Great TR :thatrocks: :thatrocks:

    kjkrow replied to the topic Are you thinking about hardboots? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 13 years, 4 months ago

    Good point, hadn’t thought about having a toe welt wider than the standard one. I guess that would need to be addressed as well. Your stance makes much more sense now.

    I don’t think the boot has to have both toe and heel welts (I know that some prefer full step-in crampons), but it should definitely have heel welts to accommodate hybrid strap/heel bail style. As long as the fit is solid and tight this would be sufficient. I know many that ice climb with hybrid crampons, and at least in my…

    kjkrow replied to the topic Are you thinking about hardboots? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 13 years, 4 months ago

    The other alternative I see working well is very similar to Storn’s frankenbook, but take any traditional softboot that’s well favored (Malamutes, Drivers) and mimic that, but with a stiff full shank, and add toe/heel welts for ‘pons. For those with big feet, I think any strap crampon will be tough to fit right and trust in dicey spots. I would…[Read more]

    Chris,

    Not sure what softboots you use on the split, but … how do they compare Frenching compared to your Vasque Ice 9000s?

    Edit: Malamutes, I’m in an idiot, since it’s in your sig. So, compare Malamute and the Ice 9000s 🙂

    On anything steep, the french technique involves rolling the ankle to get all 12 points in and I think that would be impossible with hard boots. I think that as the ankle gets more laterally stiff, the slope angle where you’d have to shift over to front pointing becomes flatter and flatter.

    I think Storn’s right on the…[Read more]

    I’m on the fence, and will be going over it at some point I’m fairly certain. I love by Drivers w/Ignition II’s, and while I’ve done a fair share of split-mountaineering in them, they have their limits. So, I think the next setup I buy will be a shorter split (~165-168) with Dynafit boots & Wills bindings. The downside is, that might be a few…[Read more]

    Beautiful shots BGnight :thatrocks:

    That looks like a really nice spot with a lot of lines if you had a few days. In addition to the couly you rode, both of the ones to right look really nice.
