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!

Erik is a rock solid belay slave . He needs to sharpen his screws though. Cmon Snyder! Dig out those files!

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?

Markman is Dan Larson. You heard it here first.

Twight kicks ass. Child kicks ass. Long and Sherman have been riding the same joke too long. Matt samet is pretty funny. I wish the Annoying Arron Gulley, R&I editor, would dry up and blow away. The editor of Polar Circus ( 2 issues 86 & 87)is Geoff Powter, editor of CAJ since 94 and a nice guy who lets me submit my article 3 weeks afte rdeadline... I hope

Back to the new pix up, I see lots of butt shots. Hey folks take the camera up the climb with you and take head shots. it makes ID ing people you meet at the pub easier. except daisy i would like to see a butt shot there ha i beat trask to that comment

You can hike around private property via Crown Land to get to Michelmoon. Lyle's Ice Map has the beta, or otherwise park at km 29.4 (or 24.9??)I think and follow the property line markers. look for an orange paint splotch on the road cut.

Isnt it 915 PM where you are, home boy? I AM at home now. I stole a computer from class today.

HEY FRED What HEY FRED!!!! Oh uh yeah, huh. YOUR TURN TO BUY A ROUND FRED Oh yea, you want some uh beer huh. Maybe i should buy some beer for those girls over there. That one there on the left doesn't like her boyfriend. I can tell. he looks like a sport climber, huh daddi-o? YEAH HE DOES FRED. What? YEAH FRED "Who are you calling a sport climber?"

its just waddington range. and it has been 'almost out' for 6 years now! we gonna have to hassle him abvout this at ice fest. hey don, if you read this, where is the guidebook damnit?

AAJ is a phone book, CAJ is more Magazine sized and 160 pgs (NO ADS!!) and both come out 1x year. I find all mags listed at either MEC or Chapters bookstore with the exception of NZ Climber which comes out 4x/year and is only available by subscription from NZ, or you get it free if you join the NZAC. or get a buddy in nz to send you his old ones.

is 5 a large enough sample we can be confident in the statistics, though? remember what the fatality rate was for the matterhorn after the first ascent.

found this link to Al dunham's page. he may have more Revelstoke info in future. at least he knows what the routes are called! http://www3.telus.net/adunham/

Despite the argument he gives below the stats table, to include all deaths vs all summiters gives a false number, as the deaths include attempters who do not summit. Put simply if you die of overexertion trying to eat a monster chappati in basecamp you qualify for a "death on the mountain" using his stats. Only about one in three or less of Attempters ever Summit so the % death ratio is skewed at least 3 times too high. But hey, how are you gonna brag if the death figure isnt wildly inflated?

Pink Cadillac is the m6+ dry tooling corner with the odd ice blob left of Deeping Wall. Goes as 5.10+ dirt in the summertime.

The CAJ and AAJ are the only Great Reads out there. Otherwise here is my rating of the various english language mags. High to low. No numbers just relative quality. On The Edge (UK)High mountain sports (UK)Climber (NZ)Climbing (USA)Rock (Oz)Rock And Ice (USA)Climber (UK)Gripped (CAN) Also notice that the Climbing to R&I spread is basically flat. I just rated Climbing higher cause they had the Steve House article last issue. The first 3 are the only ones I would rate as mostly good every issue. [ 01-21-2002: Message edited by: Dru ]

Next time you want to harsh on those who lie on this site maybe you should get right to it instead of coming out with sonme pseudo-ingenuous question wondering where the great climbers are then. I mean, I once said to Lynn Hill, at our wedding, "Honey, do you think its 4;20 yet?" and she said "Move along, there are 350 more people waiting for me to sign these posters..." Um, where was I anyways? Oh yeah, Tooth Muir blah blah beer Vantage bolts spray spray Big Lou.

where is this one??? looks good. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/images/home/front_81.jpg

Michelmoon Falls calved on Sunday and nearly killed 2 friends of mine who were racking up at the base. Heads Up!
