Death Picnic etc. see west coast ice and 1996 CAJ.

its a good thing chicks dig it cause otherwise it looks like a bigheap of dung. what are the grappling-hook type things the climbers carry in their right hand supposed to be?

What does Smoky McPot say???? "Dubage" sounds like something "Dubya" would do. I want no part of that. PS Greg, I mean Anuscling, maybe if you had a few tokes you wouldnt be so uptight and threatening-seeming to poor old daisy.

On Cascade volcano rock forget the air voyagers/screamers, bring either a drill and five foot long bits and bolts, or a shit load of slings and a shovel to dig bollards out of the rock.

The sad thing is there is an Olympic hopeful named Sylvia Frechette or something like that. Bwa ha!

pssst... pass it on... Dan likes to be disciplined.

for steep summer snow routes if you wear bibs you probably wont need a jacket. that said get some powershield bibs. i never wear my gore bibs anymore except for bushwacking in the rain, which i try to avoid doing.

AAI = American Alaskan Innocents. Swarm people up Rainier every day to train them for Denali. Then its on to Everest!

Get a big fridge magnet and stick it into your disk drive. That should solve the problem.

i like the spraying on this thread. keep it going!

You know, Alberta actually doesn't have "better" ice climbing. What it has is "more", "more consistent" and "more accessible" ice climbing. Gibraltar Wall - Yoho Park - Kicking Horse - Haffner Creek are all in BC too!

haven't done it but i think North Rib on Slesse is a good example of what you are thuinking of, as 'alternate' to NE buttress. It looks like it is cleaner too!

pants fall down and let snow in at the waist. bibs dont. nuff said.

The last few days have set 90-year high temperature records. I wouldnt expect much of Lillooet this weekend. Cold temps (ARCTIC FRONT) may arrive Tuesday-ish according to the weatherman.

Culuar? I had to think hard for that one I hear some snowboarder did a 420 in that couloir.

So, I have been told that negotiations are still underway to get some "famous climber" to give a slide show at the Ice Fest. My buddy Brent volunteered to organize this but just took off for a week of skiin' and expects to get his organizing done when he gets back on the 14th or thereabouts. So he asked me if I knew anybody that wanted to be plan B in case they cant get Raphael Slawinski to show up or whatever. So: anybody out there that could put together about an hour's show worth of ice climbing-related slides and wants to do so at the Ice Fest, please give Brent Nixon a hard time at brentnixon@hotmail.com.

Is that the MS "Starfield Simulator" screen saver, or is the freshies camera buried under avvy debris?

What a sorry excuse for proper hydration 1) you can't get refills in Starbucks either and Tims is to small town, medium town, big town, small city Canada what Starbucks is to Seattle. 2) you gotta stock up in advance. Actually you are just thinking of BC, Beck. Beer stores in Alberta are much more civilised. Better selection and pricing too.

They would have to bring the logger in for trask's show from Hope, "Chainsaw Carving Capital Of Canada!"

If you don't email that idea to Brent I will!
