So i am still trying to catch up so two posts in two days.  My next adventure took place while Angela was in Virgina for her teaching seminar.  This time I headed to the Snowy Range in southwest Wyoming which is actually just 45 minutes away from Laramie.  So David (another instructor here at SROM), Joshua (a full time SROMer and senior instructor) and myself headed up to the Snowies for some snow trave/ mountaineering school.  Some of this was review for me as I recieved mountaineering training in my first trip with Solid Rock in 2007.  Anyway, we headed up and began training.  During training I learned everything from how to keep myself from sliding down the ice and plummeting to an icy death, which is called self arresting, to setting snow anchors using many different methods such as picks, dead man's anchor, and my favorite the bollard which is using the snow itself as an anchor to rappel from.  We also learned (re-learned) different methods of glacading which is a quick method of descending steep ice or snow that involves sliding down on one's buttox or feet.  Last but not least we made a peak attempt but were forced to turn around early due to storms coming in around 11:00 am which is uncommonly early for a storm in the snowies.  All in all a super cool day and fun experience.  No pictures this time.  Forgot the camera.
