ive still got my "smoke a fatty for rebagliati" sticker on my bong right next to the one that says "trevor would do it". whistler culture!

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).

He was too busy using all the new avatars he scored from adamson to log on as himself. [ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: Dru ]

Watch out trask I heard a rumor daisy is a guy.

panther is a sloppy second

Actually now you mention it I see the amazing similarity to S face of Castle Rock except for the stupid flags up the sides.

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.
