will 1) its Disco Gun Machine not Disco machine gun. 2) routes named after the guys who climbed them are cause they were too dumb to think up a good name. those names are lame* the only thing worse is routes named after a geographic feature like "North Ridge" or "West Face" *except for the Cheesmond/Dick. aka Dickcheese, mon!

Chilliwack Valley: Gargoyles @ Lindeman Lake
Dru replied to Thomas's topic in British Columbia/Canada
....maybe.... who's asking? I know the Chilliwack Outdoors Club hiked up there last year or so for a look see but most of them (this is hearsay) cant tie their own shoelaces let alone a figure-8 knot. Its good rock anyways. maybe a bit bushy in spots and talus approach of death. I know Greg Foweraker did some routes on the big cliff right above the outlet of Lindeman Lake. And I have never seen the wet streaks on that cliff freeze up but i have never been there when it was really cold either . -
"The Negro Lesbian" old A4 next to "The Black Dyke" on the Squamish Chief. Name is appropriate to location. thanks to Darryl Hatton for making me laugh.

Look out for the 400 lb ice blocks I have seen them come off of Honeyman & Carls Berg before.

Results of A New British Survey (from www.ukclimbing.com)
Dru replied to Dru's topic in Climber's Board
So you thought being a climber and talking about it a lot meant you were a bit of an anorak? Think again! A recent survey says boasting about taking part in extreme sports is likely to prove a hit with the opposite sex. The poll found those who go on adventure holidays or who like a spot of rock climbing are seen as exciting, cultured and interesting! Answers showed that 17% of those questioned thought people who were adventurous were more attractive; 47% believed they were more interesting; 25% more cultured; and 49% more exciting. According to the poll, 12% of men and women own up to boasting about adventurous conquests, while 3% have told a "tall story". The survey was on behalf of The Daily Telegraph Adventure Travel and Sports Show 2002, which takes place at London's Olympia from January 11 to 13. -
Dont try to justify your name to me Anuscling I already know how to pronounce it, like the French do. Cawlis that was tres 'einous zut alors. Ps a Fatty in BC is a big rollup. Sort of like a rolling-paper blunt. You might confuse trask by referring to your fatty and he might come up and ask you if he could smoke it.

Ross Rebagliati won Olympic gold snowboarding in 1998. Then was disqualified after testing +ve for herbage. Then won his medal back after claiming he had been at a party where tokes were sparking but had not smoked himself merely been near persons who were toking. Ross became a poster boy for the BC marijuana growers and consumers. sort of like Sharma is now for climbers except he (sharma) didnt get his bouldering WC victory back!!!

I hearby nominate that mighty crag to be named Spray Borbon Memorial Buttress.

yeah.. the only american climber that tokes the righteous herb is chris sharma, right.

"It's a visualisation exercise". He's "thinking outside the box" and becoming "goal oriented not process oriented". You can justify any amount of slacking if you know enough biz-speak!

heads up on CO ice: ( I hope no one here knew this guy) Mountaineer Rod Willard dies in ice climbing accident January 9, 2002 International climber and paramedic Rod Willard was killed in an ice climbing accident near Vail, Colorado, on Saturday, January 5. He had been belaying his partner on the Little Thang (aka, Seventh Tentacle or Frigid Inseminator), a mixed climb behind the famous frozen waterfall The Fang, when a 40-pound block of ice broke free from about 50-feet above and struck him in the forehead. The forty-three-year-old Willard was treated by other climbers in the group, and then taken to Vail Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Willard and his partner were both experienced climbers and had climbed together for many years. He was wearing his helmet when the ice struck him. An accomplished mountaineer, Willard completed the third ascent of the Lagunak Ridge on Ama Dablam (22,350 feet) in Nepal, put up a new route on the West Face of Mt. Huntington in Alaska and had come within 1,000 feet of summiting Everest. He had worked as a paramedic for more than 20 years, the past 10 at the Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. He contributed articles to Rock & Ice, Outside and other publications. Willard is survived by his wife of four months, Kerry Evans, stepson Kollin, mother Carol, of Denver, and sister Marla, of Iowa. Several memorial funds are being set up in Willard’s name. Poudre Valley Ambulance Service will have a scholarship fund for those attending paramedic school, and the Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) will start the Rod Willard Memorial Scholarship Fund to assist worthy members attending MRA training conferences (www.mra.org). In addition, Willard, who had returned to Everest in the 1990s with a Boy Scout troop to clean up the trash at basecamp, was a strong supporter of Colorado Friends of Tibet (3095 Lafayette Drive, Boulder, CO 80303).
