Cpt.Caveman sprayer Registered: 04/18/01 Posts: 9633 TRs: 5 Photos: 0	My friend mr x guided in China specifically for rock climbing for over a year. He just got back. He's been there a few times. I hear it's great. I think he was doinkin asians for fun since he probably couldnt get laid here. But that's another story. I could ask him for info if you really want to know.

Dru Sick Spray Bird Registered: 02/08/01 Posts: 30031 TRs: 29 Photos: 304 Loc: Collapsing State Vector	Quote: An area of irregular limestone in which erosion has produced fissures, sinkholes, underground streams, and caverns. named after the town or valley of Karst in Croatia. Karst is a landform associated with heavily dissected and eroded massive limestone and dolomite. In general karst takes a long time to develop thus in the recently glaciated limestone Canadian Rockies there is minimal karst. There is some cool stuff on Vancouver Island, and the Alaska panhandle though that developed rapidly because its so damn wet. _________________________ t3h v01d, b1 d3f1n1t10n 4mless, there4 pr3d8s 4ll 4m & w1ll r3m41n

j_b spray'prentice Registered: 07/09/02 Posts: 3832 TRs: 0 Photos: 22	just a few additional details for the so inclined: weak acids present in rain water (carbonic acid) through dissolution of atmospheric CO2 or decompostion of organic matter react with limestone (carbonation). as expected water flows from topo highs to lows where it tends to collect (water table, etc ..), picks up more acids (where soils and vegies are) and dissolves limestone. through this positive feedback, ever more dissolution of limestone occurs in the topo lows. karst landscapes thus result from differential erosion that initially arises from small perturbations in the topography.
