The pix arent showing up on the new page yet either for me, just the captions. I get a "scripts with errors: done" note at bottom of my IE browser screen.

In fact if you add the #posts of me and veggie together we might haver as many as Capt. without his avatars!

Lillooet Ice like Night N Gale and Shriek of the Sheep is often "climbable" * through to end of March. * depending on how you define "climbable". It has been cold at night the last week or so though so this weekend might be Ok except for the rockfall.

I'm not really sure why I like it, there is some actual diversity around here (age, culture, philosophy, etc.) great bar/music scene, amazing scenery, every possible outdoor persuit, a somewhat unique sense of community, I could go on but I think you get the point. Seeing how mush of the surrounding area is being chewed up by subdivisions is kind of depressing though. Ya'll should come up and visit. Except Dru, you need to come down. I never come down... I am HIGH ON LIFE!!!

The report is on the conditions page. Doug of cc.com has a more complete account he will post when he gets rescuers permission or something like that.

quote: Originally posted by dyno merchant: when i went there i felt really unconfortable about bouldering, mostly because of the signs about staying on the main trail and the fact that the environment is so fragile. do you think that people should be bouldering there at all? the good thing about the cycle is it gives the plants an opportunity to regrow. frankly on the coast i have seen areas scubbed to bare rock and totally regrow in 5 years. skaha is drier, different story, but some of those cracks have regrown to unclimbability in 10 years... bigger problem is base areas like Fern Gully and Grassy Glades now known as Dust Bowl...

quote: Originally posted by dberdinka: One more It took me two trips to the Valhalla Range to climb the South Arete of Gimli. Both times the area was very dry, quiet, still. It's hard to explain but it certainly has a very desolate, melancholy feel to it (this was before it's recent explosion in popularity). On the first trip my partner was wigged out by this atmosphere I described and we bailed a few pitches up and headed out. On the second trip we hauled bivi gear into the flat bivi area near the route's base and climbed it that day. On the final summit ridge my partner stepped onto a 2000+ pound block that immediately started sliding. After surfing it for a foot or two he hopped off. The thing acclerated before taking a 1000' plunge to the talus (and trail!) below. But that wasn't the weird part. That afternoon we're hanging out near our camp. It's just compact dirt and heather with a few boulders strewn here and there on the top of a broad ridge Sleeping bags, bivi sacks clothing are strewn about in the sun. We're sitting about 30' away from the stuff. Again it's perfectly still, quiet, lonely. I feel the lightest brush of wind against my cheek and suddenly all that gear is floating straight up into the air. A pile coat, full sleeping bag, bivi sack are just elevated like 10 feet straight up in the air, flapping about like they're trying to fly. My buddy is running around under the bivi trying to grab it but it stayed out of reach for a good 5+ seconds before drifting back down. If it were some sort of micro gust it packed an incredible amount of energy and focus. Never felt a breeze again that day. Check out the weird face that appears on the bottom of the south arete at sunset...
