Bruce, i know we will win Banff when you "sherpa" the large format hasselblad and the tripod up Robson (in January).
Sure, e-mail me the (shoulder) gory details: tim_brewton@...
Too bad I let the Bextra prescription expire and found out how my shoulder and foot really feel.
Good to hear from folks.
Where is Jean/Pam? And when's the next assault on longs?
[note: I just tried the new MSN search engine and this e-mail address showed up, thus the belated edit]

Am I In?
Really? I can't believe it.
Hey Tim, nothing like a little blood and guts to get the place moving again.
I have survived multiple shoulder problems, including some that required cutting to repair.
Email if you want recovery details... I wouldn't want to dirty this place, unless nobody minds.
I must be getting older, look at how sensitve I've become. :-)
And the Banff Photo Comp is accepting entries again - GO FOR IT!
What's everyone else up to?

Torn rotator cuffs are bad news! Hope it gets better
Photos: Wow , those photos of us at Boulder were from 1999 , not exactly a ' few years ago' as BBob puts it.
Participated as a speaker at the inaugural Global Speakers Summit here recently and bumped into none other than Cathy ODowd and Ian Woodall of the 1996 South African Everest Expedition and infamy, if you may recall. While neither one of them has done anything 'nasty' to my interests, the whole thing about about how he made up his military service record and climbing experience and the way he treated people kinda rankles throughout the climbing community - still. Of course, Woodall's viilified in JOn Krakauer's Into Thin Air as the guy who wouldnt give up his sole radio to rescuers during the 1996 Everest tragedy

Hi Everyone,
Good to hear from y'all. Good luck with the shoulder, Tim. I think these things can take a while to heal so don't be discouraged if it is slow going. No favorites on the Everest front as yet although it will be interesting to see what ENews comes up with in their search for M&I artifacts. Thanks to BBob for posting Eric's plans. I had heard that Jake was not going up this year which is disappointing as I think he is still interested in M&I. At least he and Dave Hahn did some searching last year. Jake has located a lot of the old Camps (1975 and earlier) which fills in the map and gives better distance relationships. But no new M&I data. It's not clear to me how much of the terrain has actually been searched for SI and the camera and how viable the idea of additional searches are. Some knowledgable folks have come to the conclusion that Wang actually found GM rather than SI even though the description that has come to us does not match the remains of GM. I am not sure that I agree with this conclusion but obviously I am not an expert. But it is getting harder to resist the possibility that SI may have avalanched off the face. So we wait to see if anything is found this year...
Hi, magoo ;-)
Best regards,
Rose
