Hi, my name is Jim Shaw which is why I use the name Jimshaw.
I have spent a great deal of time camping, back country skiing, winter camping and climbing in the Sierras between Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. I am a traditional climber of the Yosemite school, which is interesting because now I live 25 miles from Smith Rock, an official ethic-less climbing area so contrary to us Yosemite purists. (They stand on pro and hang dog, not to mention bolting on rappel ugh)I live just east of Three Sisters Wilderness in Sisters Oregon, at 3200' elevation. I moved here from San Francisco to live in the mountains, probably because of my love for the Sierras, combined with wanting to leave California. I joined this group to share my experiences and to keep up with whats going on down there.
I will rarely make a comment that I cannot backup and I will never put down what others have to say, but I may disagree and ask them to substantiate their claim. I am a well known outdoors poster respected in many forums, laughed at in others.
Jim
