Hope the conditions are good. Good ice is only an hour and half from me (lucky me), but I've been too busy at work to go. Mike, why are you living in Texas if you like climbing?   michael burt (Mikeyb) Senior Member Username: Mikeyb Post Number: 656 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 01:00 am:    you ask the million dollar question, thomas... money makes us live in funny places...;) i am going to try another trip to ouray soon...was thinking mid feb, but it looks like first of march will be more probable. too bad...wouldn't have minded meeting a fellow d-webber out on the road! it was nice in the park, but we never made it out backcountry. i hear most things have formed up nicely. mike
