So I am looking through my ice guides checking for routes to do. I think there is potential for a cc.com tick list. so far I have: Panther Falls - IcefieldsSpray Falls - BanffCaveman - Haffner Creek and of course the famous "Beer climbs" in yoho.

"The Reagan years were a disaster for our forests, cutting and shipping raw logs overseas." USA is threatening Canada right now cause you want us to ship you raw logs....... you gonna protest that one too Fairweather?

Mary XXXmas would be a good name for a porno starlet or a route at Vantage.

I've looked at Rainier for 2 years now and my high point remains the Paradise ranger station. Why do I pretend to be an mountaineer? I suck. But even though I sport climb by nessecity, I will never wear spandex tights (I don't think they make spandex that could hold my massive ass). I will never be a skinny, wussy, number chasing gym rat. I will still build my trad rack, until I relize my dream of being in the Kascade Trad Klan. Someday I will go on an expediton and climb something truely big and hard. Mtnrgr, sounds like you are gonna be making your expedition to Big Lou....

There's a better one around the corner to the left, twice as tall, but the planned 200' rap to get to it turned out to be more like 400' and I didn't have enough rope... maybe next year. :-) Pinnacle Slab, maybe. take some crampons and dirt hooks.

FWIW Dan Savage recommends velcro restraints as rope can cause rope burns or cut off circulation. maybe you should get some 2" "seatbelt" webbing. [ 12-20-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

"Rant and Rave, or Piss and Moan over gear" - this thread is pretty appropriate!!

to this:

i have m10's and it is like having guy lacelle attached to each foot. m10s are for ice gods. maybe with my m10s and quarks i will be able to lead wi 4 off to therockies in 16 hours now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this time Saturday I wil be rapping off something with the light of my new TIKKA shining away and a bottle of rum waiting all happy like back at the car...

even shorter approach - n couloir of slesse. 18 pitches of snow & ice mostly 55-65 degrees with some short steep WI 3-4 ish ice steps.been done less than 5 times.

he means it has a sharp edge, not a point. if that helps.

I see Tricks rated 13b in the mags? hardest Crack - Indian Creek - No way jose 13d+? hardest crack - USA - magic line, yosemite,14b boogieman, City of Rocks,14a lost horizon, colorado 14a, all unrepeated. i liked how petro gave fiddler on the roof 13a, then did a bunch of other hard cracks and upgraded it to 13d. he did it 3 or 4 times on lead.. i think someone else finally repeated it a year or two ago, there was like a 1 sentence report buried in "small wires" or something...

i think he means petro?????????

her erik lets not forget Pam anderson is a canadian girl.

ya, i heard 2nd hand this morning that someone died on cascade yesterday!!

TG you should ask if Will will throw in some of the home made xxx tapes he made with it!!!

I never said Suzuki onsighted it (I guess someone else did though) only that he has climbed it several times, yearly at one point, placing the gear on lead. no i think mr jrco was confusing suzuki and hirayama, both japanese right, must be the same guy and on the website he posted, one dude goes even further and confuses the both of them with pete takeda.

sounds like the dude would fit right in in Index! wasn't red dragon the first book that Hannibal Lecter appears in? as well as a skateboard company based in vancouver...

Even if you had to snowshoe or ski in the Center Cr road it would be faster than either bushwacking up to Hanging lake, or canoeing across Chilliwack lake then bushwacking up to the McDonald-Lindeman col. I figure it would take about 4 hrs to get to Lindeman on skis from where you would have to park, going via Centre Cr. Cheam range kicks ass in the winter. best routes to do are w face and s ridge of welch. fast access, lots of vertical, expect like 13-14 hrs round trip from road. but man they look nice today!!!! also the n face routes on cheam look very nice but conditions can be iffy - it never stabilized last year - i was up there 3 times and never went past tree line. north side Cheam Range routes like on knight, stewart etc. are better in spring when you can get to the end of jones lake faster.

Its "ABOUT" like "I went to see A BOUT between Holyfield and Tyson." rhymes with spout, pout, snout and doubt. (But you probably say all those words wrong too.) you yankees say "Ah-bat" like "I got bit by A Bat and it gave me rabies" But whats really fucked up is the way you say route "ROWT" and roof, "RHUF". Like I was down at J tree one time and I said I thought this climb was a good route and some dude asked me, "What root, there's no trees up there, that rowt goes up over that rhuf"
