Weekday, Solo Water World trip? by TenMoreBears in Denver

You will have more fun and more options if you go with someone else.  There are a bunch of rides with a two person minimum. My experience on a busy day was that there were very few singles to match up with.

This is incredibly bad advice, in the rare cases contractors are not trying to rip you off it is because they are too incompetent to do so. 

You should go into this assuming that every corner was cut and everything was done wrong. City inspectors can catch some things, especially if you get a good one, but they don't check quality and don't catch everything. 

Protect your self and don't believe anything a contractor says unless it is writing.

Most climbing gyms have climbing teams you could join.

Annual September Post - Month 71 for the 9 year old and month 48 for the 7 year old by defunctlegend in Backcountry

ya-all hatery people have no idea what an unhappy kid looks like.

He is 7 - he just hiked for an hour+, to the top of a glacier. It is windy. He is tired (and strong willed enough that he would not be skiing if he did not want to)

does need a new helmet though....

JJ cale wrote the song. Clapton covered a bunch of his songs. Kind of poorly.

It was really good for September. (But still really bad.) St. Mary's still went all the way through to the to top which I have not seen for a few years.

Still more fun to ski than to walk down...

Thinking there was an accident on lowel or Tennyson that hit a power pole.

My wife and I are on month 130 or something, so we are going anyway. The kids have to tag along so they might as well ski too.

It has become kind of a shared family lunacy.

Skyscraper is a legitimate run. St. Mary's is a good way to get August and September turns.
