Well I lost one on Weeping Wall, one somewhere at the Rambles I think, and one either at Gibraltar Wall or its on Fred's rack and he took off to Orizaba for a few weeks. Oh and I think the screw I found belongs to a cc.com climber so I'm not planning on identifying it any further. Its mine now the way mine are yours if you find them first.

SO i got 3 of these (BD Ice Clipper plastic screw racking biners) before this season to rack ice screws on. So far I have somehow lost 3 screws I think from stealth unclipping from these dumb racking devices. and i only found 1 as booty, so I'm down 2. I offer this as disincentive for anybody else thats thinking about getting them.

Croft soloed it first, in 83, he soloed the North Rib too. Perry Beckham soloed the whole thing in 22hrs round trip from Squamish, of which only 3 hrs were spent climbing, the others were hiking and driving I never heard crazy Maxim soloed it but I bet he did then flew his paraglider off... I think Guy Edwards soloed it too... Probably a bunch of others as well but they never sprayed about it so no idea as to who. Probably Hamish Fraser and who knows who else.... But I wanna do it too. even though its choss

Dwayner Capt Caveman How bout this one? [ 01-30-2002: Message edited by: Dru ]

dwayner capt.

whoa whoa, dwayner, chill out, calm down, deep breath, count to 10, smoke a bowl dude and relax. you just got all huffy about a post in SPRAY. get some perspective my man and regain your equilibrium.

Seems to me that Wednesday is the cruelest day of the week. pub club is over, you have found out what everyone climbed last weekend, and you dont know yet what you're going to climb next weekend. Nothing to do but work. So we need some spray masquerading as a real topic here to get everyone posting and thinking about something other than the fact that there are 3 more days of work to go before climbing starts again. How about: if you could define one day of ideal climbing - the best climbing day of your life - what would happen on that day? What would you do? With what and with who would you climb? would you be out in the mountains going for 24 hrs straight on a single push, or would you get in a few good crag routes with plenty of time left over to drink some , smoke a blunt, eat some good food , and get it on with your SO? Would you even be climbing or would you be sitting on the summit of Mt Si in the rain, wearing plastic boots, tripping on mushrooms and watching bugs crawl around on the rocks?

serratus genie has 2 tool loops. at least mine does. but i prefer the arcteryx khamsin 30 as a day-pack. the k-30 has a lighter webbing hipbelt that doesnt get in the way of your harness when you are climbing the way the thicker hip belt on the khamsin-38 does. the serratus aladdin (?) is like a cut price Nozone, a bit smaller. i heard it is good too. check out www.serratus.com for details or look in the MEc catalogue.

Yeah lets hear it for Panther. free beer

"Annapurna - A Woman's Place Is On Top". Is that what pope and RURP are suggesting?

American President Calvin Coolidge and the First Lady were inspecting a government farm. While the President was taken to another part of the farm, Mrs Coolidge observed a rooster mating with a hen in the chicken coop. "How often does he do that?" she asked her guide. "Dozens of times," he said. "Please mention this fact to the President," Mrs Coolidge said to him. Later, when the President came to the chicken coop, the guide told him about the rooster's prowess. "Always with the same hen?" he asked. "Oh no, a different one each time," said the guide. The President said: "Please tell that to Mrs Coolidge."

I suggest you drive the moving van from the old cave to the new one by way of Lillooet this weekend to take advantage of primo freezing. Hell by Friday HONEYMAN might even be formed. I bought a 3-pound jug of that Honeyman honey on Sunday. mmmm "Cariboo Golden" it sounds like a strain of weed. maybe Terminal Gravity will tip the secret on how to get it to ferment and make Mead.

Capt, you work????

heli drops, and scavenging food from the packs of dead climbers you find along the way, and hunting for local wildlife... (its outside the Park Boundary )

there is no end to that climb. ever. my buddy from Calgary started climbing it 4 years ago and he just called me on his cell last week to say that he is still going!

For a moment there... I was mad that you locked and then unlocked the thread in order to unlawfully sneak in the 14th page post... good one

no deductable is now a 3 pitch route. Pitch one: to first bolt. pitch two: first to third bolt. pitch 3: to top

Yeah N& G was making weird noises like it was going to dinner plate half pitch-high chunks as we climbed it. SCARY. I think there was an ice layer over snow over ice, and the outer crust was breaking, but was bonded to the snow underneath... it certainly encouraged one to place good screws even though the climbingwasnt that hard.
