These are the instructions for making your
own stove out of cat food cans. This is different from the pop-can stoves
we made at the meeting, but similar concept.
Upcoming Events (2009)
16 Nov (Mon)
no club meeting
We will not be having a Climbing Club meeting tonight. Only
the people going on the Thanksgiving Break Trip need to come
tonight.
We will be planning the Sandstone Ice Climbing Trip. Here are some
details...
December 11-13, Sandstone Minnesota.
We will be leaving Friday and coming back Sunday
The trip will cost $30-$35 depending on how many people go,
with a $15 deposit due on November 30, and the remainder of the
trip cost due on December 11.
The club has been going to this ice festival for many years,
and it is a lot of fun. They have lots of climbing, clinics
for all levels, winter camping, Dawn Glanc...who is awesome
raffle, gear swap, a group dinner, and fireworks!!!
Note...If you want to go, and want to go to a clinic...you have
to "donate" $10 to get into a clinic. Do this now if you are
planning on going, clinics fill up so register and then email
the guy about getting into a clinic. We defiantly are going,
and can probably take as many people as want to go, so if you
are interested, I suggest registering and singing up for a
clinic totally worth the $10.
The club has all the ice climbing gear necessary except
mountaineering boots, they aren't a necessity but if you want
some let us know after break and we can arrange a rental for
you.
If you are intersted, please email
Eric so he can get a
rough idea of how many people might go.
If you use Google Calendars, you can add the ISU MCC calendar.
(The Google Calendar is usually up-to-date, but watch this page and the
email list for the latest upadates.)

Virtual Reality Trip Planning
At the meeting on Monday (01Nov), Steve Holland gave a presentation on
"Virtual Reality Trip Planning". He demonstrated how you can download free
GIS (Geographical Information Systems) data files online and use them in an
open-source program Steve wrote, called Aviascene, and drive or fly around
the landscape like in a video game. This helps show you what the terrain
actually looks like in real life, which helps you plan the best route and
identify the correct peak and other features once you get there.
The National Map: http://nationalmap.usgs.gov http://seamless.usgs.gov
Get Topo's by selecting "24k DRG" or "100k DRG" as the data to download.
Edit & Reduce the TIFF file, then take it to CopyWorks to print out
