i dunno about the calm and in control thing... you ever seen like Sharma or Graham or Doug Englekirk sketching up some route barely in control and fucking up sequences and kinda just hanging on there cause they have such good crimp strength....if they can sketch up 5.14 I can sketch up 5.11!

"dog bones" is so early 90's. you probably got a closet full of plaid flannel shirts too.

I would think cable would promote walking more than webbing or cord would, the same way a quickdraw gives more flex in the system than just 2 biners clipped together.

...but due to the road network, it is faster to cros at Sumas than Lynden if heading east in Canada (like to Lillooet). but Sumas can be a bit slower sometimes, like on long weekends. take your pick. or just shift into 4x4 and drive across the zero avenue ditch between lynden and langley/abbotsford.

whistlux getting 50cm = 2 feet in 1 day.

try this one. check frequently over next 2 days for prognosis on cold front. http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/scripts/citygen.pl?client=ECCDN_e&city=WKF thurs, fri = warmishsat, coolingsun cold. that sounds alright!

Hmmm... Borbon outweighs me considerably....I bet he will outdrink me too. Dunno if I am going to go up before Saturday afternoon if it is raining but yes, Legion Hall anytime after 6 PM or so. Bring your lungs and i'll bring the damage.

just buy the TRIM maps you want. except that version2.0 with better contours is coming out. honestly there are only a few times when the accuracy is better than 1:50 000. I dont have to buy the CD I got all the maps free at work!

I dont wear knickers, I just have girls throw them at me when I'm up on stage doing my Julio Iglesias imitations. You will see them at the Ice Fest this weekend!

Drink beer and solo. If you survive that you will survive anything.

I read a great story about winter ascent of outer Space by Jim Nelson I think or Jim Yoder or some old skool hard core back in 1979 or something. It was in an issue of SUMMIT in the Acc clubhouse in Canmore. Great article. anybody got it, scan it and post it here in a new HISTORY section maybe?
