    You may well be able to. Brian was thinking of going to Fremont Peak on
    Friday night, because conditions here didn't look so good!

    He also was at CalStar for one night last October (with a 22"), and I
    believe he may be going to Shingletown and CalStar this year.

    Yeah. I personally desperately wanted to try it, and I wanted to see
    how hard I could push the 30". So far, it's standing up pretty well.
