- Off Belay: Igloos
Winter has pretty much arrived in Wyoming, and it’s going to be around for a while. Best thing you can do is learn to deal with it, and I can’t think of too many better ways of dealing with the white stuff than piling it up into habitable structures. It’s just one of those skills every man should know, and the boys and I are looking forward to the opportunity to build a few of these in the backyard.
Off Belay was a mountain-centric periodical out of Renton, Washington back in the 70’s and 80’s, and covered a wide variety of alpine topics. You can pick up back issues at Chessler’s, and the Mountaineers in Seattle have a complete library of issues. I have an issue or two yet to scan, but these special editions they put out are pretty entertaining – and useful.
