  1. Yes, it's like 12" wide at the top. 12" for 30 meters.

  3. No ice seen yet. Might be something hidden in the trees, but given that you can drive another 5 minutes to play on Trojan Horse, I haven't explored it yet. There is some south facing ice that occasionally comes in high up on the east side of Mt Woodside. Don't know the best way to get to it, though.

    Hey j_b/prole!

    If Zimbabwe had oil...
  5. They were starting to ferment on the bush, on Yak on Sunday :hic:
  6. It's called the Harrison Bluffs and there are about 50 routes, mostly put up in the mid-1990s. Since Alex Howden quit climbing (?) and Gordon Bose moved to Salmon Arm it has kind of fallen into disuse. Basically the climbing therre rocks, but it's Bulletheads filthy and regrows quickly so it needs a lot of traffic to stay clean. The longest route is Falcon Crest 6 pitches 5.10 A1. I have the guidebook, you are welcome to borrow it. Mostly I just go aid-soloing there on rainy days.
  7. A guided trail is reminiscent of the gaucho's first explorations? Hmmm. Uncage the Soul!
  8. Not only does the phrase "take a gronk" sound perfectly accurate, but the late Guy Edwards actually named a 5000m peak in Kyrgyzstan after it "Pik Gronky". see latest AAJ for a map.
  9. You should read the comments on TONMO.com.
  10. Yeah, having the Supreme Court judge that your party appointed, declare you President instead of mandating a recount is so much more logical.
  11. And if you are Polish you probably already have velcro gloves you can adapt for climbing.
  12. DOUBLE DEUCE!!!!
  13. It was being made by a guy from Sechelt, BC... I think they ran into funding difficultis that have so far prevented completion.
  14. Yes, but you might not have to pay soon - if they "close" it, you can still walk in and camp for free.

    Hey j_b/prole!

    Independent election monitors, including a former US President, certified the Venezuela elections as conforming to democratic standards. this would not be the case for the 1930's German elections, in which the brownshirts were out in force, threatening and beating the Nazi's opponents. The Nazis were not democratically elected with a majority, or a plurality. The DNVP was elected with a minority. The Nazis were their junior coalition partner. A conspiracy of German business leaders swung a deal to have Hitler appointed Chancellor. Hitler than ran a non-democratic "election" in which he still only took 44%, assumed power anyways and ruled as a dictator.

    Hey j_b/prole!

    1) The election in which the Nazis took 44% of the vote was not democratic, any more than recent elections in Zimbabwe are democratic. 2) You claimed he was elected Chancellor. Not true. So instead of admitting you were wrong, you prevaricate.

    He was probably stalking some teenage sales clerk.

    Hey j_b/prole!

    Hitler was elected Chancellor through a democratic process. Hitler was APPOINTED Chancellor in a shady backroom deal.
  19. Actually, I should edit that. Krack Rock is a good place to go torquing and mixed climbing during a heavy freeze, especially with the grassy cracks for turf-hooking
  20. For immediate release!
  21. Yes you do. Come to the dark side
  22. Krack Rock is not a good place for anyone to go anytime. That crag is the most ass crag at Squamish
  23. WTF kind of first name is "Gleed"?
  24. Thought #1: Do a search cause this exact same topic was covered about 2 years ago. Thought #2 if you dont fall it doesnt matter whether you use locking biners or not summary: If it scares you, use a wiregate because their gates don't flutter.
