i now officially have a gear-head problem.
it's been building for a few months now but i can't stop talking about how great MSR denali snowshoes are for their light weight and durable frame with modular float tails in a variety of lengths to match weight and conditions nor can i stop looking at gear. like the marmot ski pack...their newest one...it's light, has a horseshoe frame with a plastic back form to support you and can take skis any which way but sunday. it has a rope stash on top and is made to attach crampons and snowshoes to. it is made for winter ascents with randonee ski setups. so i want it but don't need it. i have an ascent pack already but it's not made for it. it's a technical daypack and it rocks for summer backpacks when you can go without much gear. it's rated to 29 lb. and will take a 3L hydration resivoir. it's a great little pack. but i want a pack for ski touring. i want it big and i want it with features. so i'm looking for it. it's taking a while. not many big companies have these types of packs, surprisingly. they're gearing toward mountaineers and not alpine tourers.
but that's alright.
i've just got a bad habit of finding the most awesome gear and loving it too much.
in other news i'm doing quite well.
i just made another $100 today and i'm happy for it.
plus i get to work at REI all day starting at 1p. it's gonna be great.
i've found myself yearning to get outside so i'm trying to plan a climbing trip on friday. we'll see how i go with that. it should be good fun. i haven't been in a few years so i'm going to blow but it'll be great fun even so. i'll get pictures, i'm sure. it'll be great. more stuff to put up on the wall at work.
that is all for now.

I don't know what to say but feel obligated to say something. I think you're getting a bit too obsessed with REI. OK, there, I said it (again).

chloe, it was that day and it was superb fun. i found out that i'm actually a decent crack climber. not great at the off-width stuff yet but good at the basics. i can't do traverses, though. period. and i can't climb up a flat granite wall yet. i'm just not that good.
fukkin a, geezy!
we'll have to make a quick trip up mount mckinley in only our bike shorts and converse sneakers. or something like that. and i do like to get outside a lot. it just makes you feel better. the main reasons that i haven't in recent years have been school and work but now i'm breaking from school and my work is completely about the outdoors. rock! i'm planning a trip into the great american desert for may if you want to come. it'll be a fairly basic canyoneering trip. no big rappels or anything just loving the canyon country in a different way.
