You might need a Labrador Retriever to pull you out of the water cause it is warm and wet up there right now. Erik if you are coming up stop by and get your cd's back.... the pawn shop didnt want to buy them without jewel cases anyways.

you swing into the wall or hit a bulge or what?? i sprained an ankle falling while trad climbing once. other than that no injuries. i did get cut up falling 40 feet once. nearly dying but no injuries does not count as injured in my books, but maybe it should. closest calls have come from approaching and descending not actually on routes.

if tacoma is chamonix that makes chilliwack zermatt and me rich!

"health reasons" might supersede recreational activity. "my doctor told me I should go for a hike because I need to exercise more than my typing fingers."

don't rusty nails give you tetanus?

alpine with light machines would be bunk. not made for plunging, hammering shaft, adzing (do they even come with an adze?) or what have you, although you could try, it would be about like glacier walking with a pair of 5.10 Moccasyms on. axar is designed for all around climbing including alpine. now let the flames start from those who alpine climb extensively with their light machines!

the foam, the foam, the foam, and the foam. then the carrying straps. that is what makes the pad. unbreakable buckles help too. when i worked at arcteryx we had loads of foam kicking around and i was gonna make a pad...but the materials (at wholesale cost) were gonna cost me ~$100 CDN, and on pro deal I got a Metolius L pad for $105 CDN, so I figured the 10 hours of sewing it was gonna take wasn't worth saving $5 for.

Is Seattle in Canada, johnny? They want to be but we won't let them in until they apologize for creating the "plaid flannel shirt grunge look".

To find Mallory's corpse, bring it home and compost it and grow mung beans in the compost. I think.

listen to 70s punk rock, 80s industrial and 90s rap music, get all dark and moody, get dumped, go solo. it works fer Twight!!

look in Jo Jo's guidebook. I know its out of print but lots of people have copies you could probably borrow one from a friend. Raph and Margo's 4th edition should be out real soon now (like May?? - check rmbooks.com for latest date beta) [ 02-06-2002: Message edited by: Dru ]

oh yeah the photo of purple people eaters you see on the cc.com front page sometimes is on alpaca peak which is two cirques over from steinbok. the rock is better but the cracks are mostly absent.

The whole Anderson River area has exceptionally coarse rock resulting in a layer of death crystals. but there is some good stuff. that edwards/spagnut will go unrepeated for a while, I do beileve. it aint too hard (5.11a) but very sustained and requires all kb pro while free climbing and wailing in pins from sketchy stances. or maybe some new ZeroCams from Wild Country The big roof is called Mosquito Roof for a reason. Expect 40C in the summer as it gets super hot there sometimes. THE route to do is Springbok Arete on Les Cornes. Take a bolt kit or enormous balls and Sharma like down climbing skills to replace death rap anchors (tied off blades of grass, by repute) on the rappell descent.

Ummmm, let's see....it's a graph (sideways) measuring Canadian contributions to world events. It is Big Brother telling you to exercise in 1984. Every time someone slacks off on a jumping jack you start over from 10. You can hear Annie Lennox sing this on the soundtrack too Nice guess though.

"Clit route"is on the Catherine Face. according to my 1992 Mt Cook and Area Guidebook.

I wish Lomborg would reunite with ABBA. "Dancing queen, young and lean, only 17.. oooh la la!"

i think that meat is "mystery meat".

ice forms fast when it gets cold, and melts fast when it gets warm. go get a salt shaker cause all this beta gets taken with a grain of salt.
