its so people know you actually drive your subaru offroad once in a while and you arent just a yuppie scum that couldnt afford a real SUV.

Yes the KTK sent representatives to Skaha last weekend. Foo Sprayshaw and Spray Bourbon along with some dude name of Dan. We did lots of good crack routes although as Borbon eventually realized even the cracks at Skaha are really face climbs by and large. Despite forecast of bad weather it only rained at night and was mostly warm and sunny in the daytime. Lots of frou frou sport climbers were out along with the usual crowd of gapers, dog walkers and hardmen and hardwomen. Ray outdrank me. We kept pace on the smokey. Ray slept out under the stars and was nearly drowned in a thunderstorm. Lotsa good routes got done. Dru fell off some bolty thing and hit a shelf but MAN OF STEEL was not injured. You should've been there!

The 1992 AAC guide to Columbia Mts of Canada is the most up to date guide for the area. Its Northern Selkirks so expect it to be in Dave Jones' upcoming Selkirks North guide. Out this summer! The previous post in thi space contained factual errors and has been heavily reedited so Dru doesnt look like such an idiot. [ 04-15-2002, 12:02 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Speaking of small haulbags I see they are the new Cool Thing for trendy climbers to have a s a fashion accessory. All the posers down at smith on easter were strutting around with a dog, micro haulbag and/or crashpad/pack, cheater stick, laser pointer for giving redpoint beta, spaghetti strap sport bras, "sport clogs" , Prana $100 bouldering jeans, and FRS radios for communicating on those long Smith sport pitches. EXTREEM TECHNOLOGY!!!! You or I may not be a good climber but nowadays you can sure dress like one if you got the $$$ trendies can kiss it

RUN!!!! RUN!!!

Its Coming To GET YOU!!!!

Is every one of those pix of some guy reaching into the blades of the snowblower? Man it looks like the opening scene of the Emergency First Aid - Limb Loss Module video!

Originally posted by jon:Lazer pointers?!?!?!?Metolius Redpoint Laser $20. So Dru are you complaining about spagetti straps cause I think they are one of the best things ever invented? If a cute girl is wearing them no problem. but when EVERY FRIKKEN FEMALE AT SMITH is wearing them then its like going to a nudist resort, the eye gets overloaded and shuts off and it becomes just another fashion horde clone look. Yeah I noticed too that they didn't have the weight on the site. Weight is always a consideration, but how much will your pack weigh when it is soaked with water. Dude you should pre-soak your pack with beer. Then you can let it drip into your mouth at base camp.

I made a DIY belay seat in Zion by weaving together 2 short daisy chains with a bunch of spare webbing. It worked about 1% better than just hanging in my harness. The girls on the tour bus liked it though.

quote: Originally posted by wotan of ballard: An interesting insight at the show was that the 158 climbs were selected from about 250 routes. This is why I've been disappointed in climb quality up there compared to those in Nelson's Guides, which selects only about 1 in 10 out of the 3 volumes in Beckey's guides. What a load of BS, there is a lot more than 250 climbs up here, the 158 were selected from a larger list of 250 proposed, not a total of 250 technical climbs in SW BC.

Just take it to REI and say "this rope is dirty, i need a new one".

A sociology class is studying the frequency with which humans copulate. The professor says he will now do a demonstration of the graph of frequency distribution he has just drawn on the overhead. "SO: could I get everybody who has sex every da to raise their hand." A few of the students, kinda smiling cauise they are the ones everyone now knows are as horny as rabbits, put up their hands. "Thank you. And now, all those who have sex at least 3 times a week." A larger group raise their hands, smiling cause they are normal. "Thank you. And now all those who have sex at least once a week." A much larger group raises their hands. "At least once a month?" By now almost all the students have raised their hands. Those who haven't yet are the shy, religious, awkward, ugly or socially inept students. "Once every six months? Anyone?" Most of the above group can now raise their hands with relief. Only one guy is left who has not raised his hand yet. "Once a year or less?" "YES! Me! Me! That's me! I have sex less than once a year!" That one guy hasnt just raised his hand he's doing a dance on top of his seat! He looks really happy! "Sir, can you explain to the class why you find your state so exhilirating?" asks the prof expecting to hear some religious reason... "TONIGHTS THE NIGHT!"

Maybe we need to have a good old fashioned KEGGER party out in the sticks I think there is a bush party this Saturday night at Skaha except we better go to the bar instead cause it is the last game of the season for the CANUCKS and if they win it they make it into the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS.

nobody sells spooled spectra WEBBING do they, just Spectra CORD and pre-sewn spectra webbing. i use supertape for most of my tied slings cause it is cheap, strong and light. but for rap slings I use the skankiest old webbing I can get... anything that doesnt have melts or holesin it already... you know like if someone leaves a new sling and rap ring at a station and i come along i usually grab the new sling and leave an old one behind... or just rap off of 6 manky slings.
