Snow is absorbent. I guess you could get dry that way, though in a cold environment, the air is so dry that usually water will steam right off of you.veryblueeyes said:

Thor, don't throw snowballs at the moose.
Great to see you and have a great evening, BeBe.

There you go. Get some blood out to the skin to boil off the remaining water and then get dressed quick.veryblueeyes said:Well, he also did naked pushups before getting dressed. See? Sexy, I say. *wink*

My perverted mind was thinking...
Ok, low pushups, wet in the snow; my nipples would be cutting ice through anything in the snow. So then I thought; his goods must have travelled to his throat.
Ok, yes I am a perv.

Some DJ once said that she had "armor-piercing nipples." I love that phrase.

So I was just emailing with a friend about "learning to climb." I think the phrase is somewhat misleading. There are techniques of moving upward to be learned, for sure, but I think it may be more accurate to speak of "learning to be safe while climbing." The new student of climbing is unlikely to be told she needs to learn to grip things a certain way or whatnot. "Here is how to climb this route."
What I learned in my first four days of guided instruction was a lot more focused on the craft of rope work and belaying. The climbing was largely left to us to figure out on our own, to work out the problems of movement through trial and error and instinct. Anyone who has climbed a ladder or a tree or that damn rope in gym class has the basics. That level of skill and a calm mind will keep you moving upward through a lot of terrain. It's only when you get to specific kinds of climbing "problems," like, say, a vertical crack, or a hold you can only pull sideways on, that you start needing to be coached on technique. You can climb happily your entire life and never really have anyone "teach" you to climb.

Check out Outside Magazine this month...an interesting article (I have yet to read) about a mountaineer's son climbing Everest, I think (or some 8000m peak) to exorcise the ghost of his father.
Also an article on Tyler Hamlton returning to continental cycling after a two year drug ban.

You should totally start a cycling thread, dude. Your experience with that--and knowledge of it--far surpasses mine of climbing.
