By the way, Ole, in 1973 I had the chance to climb Mt. Hood in Oregon! Having just arrived in Portland at my Uncle's house at 7pm, my uncle's friends had been planning this for a week and had all their equipment ready to go! I had 2 pairs of Levi's, construction work boots and a hunting knife and Colt 45 auto!! (I don't go anywhere without my gun)!! So off to Ski World we go to get me a snow jacket, parka, thermal underwear and crampons!! To make it across the glacier before it gets to Soft and slippery, we had to start at midnight!! By the time weygot there it was pouring rain at the bottom and Blizzard conditions at the one Mile high marker. So not wanting to miss this adventure, I put on the thermals, Snow socks, 2 pairs of Levi's and jackets. On the way there we picked up 2 cans of Scotchgard water repellant and soaked me down from head to toe to waterproof me!!
After downing a fifth of Christian Brothers Brandy and half a dozen joints of good mj, wewere ready!!! BBecause of visibility, we roped up and sluck up the mountain. The rain turned to sleet and then total white out!! Half the guys freaked out and went back to the van. We keep going and going until we hit some marker and rested for a half hour. I was pretty wet by now but not cold!! It was starting to get lite dawn and the storm let up so we started towards the Glacier Crossing! When we reached the crossing it was still cool out but the sun was starting to shine bright. Our fearless leader went across the ladder (old aluminum piece of bent up shit) first and the other four guys went, leaving me last. I told the ass holding the ladder to move it over about a foot onto fresh packed snow but wouldn't do it and threatened to leave if I didn't start across right away!! When I got halfway across, the fucking ladder bent down enough to slip off his side and he couldn't catch the end and I fell down in crevasse but luckily I jammed my ice ax in the sidewall, about ten feet down!! Wow I thought I was dead!! The group came back and I started climbing out with my crampons and ice ax! They finally got a rope around me and pulled me out!! I had a broken wrist and sprained left foot is all !! Ski patrol took me to the local hospital where they patched me up! The Ranger's told me that crevasse was probably a couple hundred feet deep!!!! Ole so you see no matter what your up against good clearheaded thinking will always be your guide and if you smell a skunk in the financials, there probably is one not to far away!!! SO PLAY IT SAFE, NOT STUPID!!!!
