Ice: "Shriek..." and "IcyBc" forming a thin sheen, but it's been warm and wet 'til yesterday. There are rumours of an Arctic high rolling in, and it only takes a couple of weeks below 0C to get most climbs "up."

Here's a Nov 22 shot off Gadd's website (www.gravsports.com) of RIPTIDE (WI 6+/7) for motivational purposes. Supposedly if you squint or have a high-res monitor you can see 2 Slovenians wallowing through the freshies in the approach. http://www.gravsports.com/Ice%20Pages%20Folder/Route%20Descriptions/riptide_nov.htm For some reason it wouldn't link as an image - b@st@rd Gadd probably has it protected against homeys like us so you will have to visit the site to check it.

rope gremlins: you are belaying your buddy on some endlessly long alpine pitch and he is going slower than snot dripping off a slug. You start to think about something other than belaying like maybe drinking or Bobbi Bensmans before and after shots. Meanwhile your buddy goes to clip and you short-rope him for a second and he yells "FUCK GIMME SOME FUCKIN SLACK GODDAMNIT" cause he is sketching. You say: "Sorry man, you got lots of slack down here eh, must be those rope gremlins again." hard air: ice or rock fall from a route that catches you one enough to start some facial bleeding. afterwards in the bar you tell the ski bunnies "Yeah I caught some hard air today" and they think you are a gnarly extreme skiier or mountain biker and not some ho-hum climber.

Was that a threat or something? Luckily my bosses are more concerned with results and they like the results Im giving them. Actually I created an avatar and it sits online and sprays all day while I do other work.

Good Whistler ice: 1) on Blackcomb, "Another Day at the Office" etc. WI3+ to M7+ routes. check Serl/Kay guidebook for location also see CAJ 1996 and 1997. 2) at Cal-chek south of Whistler, Moaning Tree Wall, 7 routes WI 2-4+, easy to TR, all half pitch, 5 minute walk approach. see 1996 CAJ and CASBC ice page. 3) north of whistler at Soo Bluffs. entropy classic 3 pitch WI 3 and more to WI 4+. 1 hour approach. 4) Wedgemount Lake trailhead area. WI 3-4 with longish approaches (2 hrs plus) see 1996-1999 CAJs 5) Green River walls. Near Suicide Bluffs in Whistler rock guide. mostly hard stuff and must cross unfrozen river 6) Rutherford Creek. need snowmobile. classic WI4s 7) Roe Creek S of whistler. also need snowmobile or long ski. no topos. WI 4 - M7 and harder 8) Birkenhead Valley. see Serl guide and above mentioned CAJs. paved road access. everything from 20m WI2s to THE PLUM ( 7 pitch *** WI5) 9) Eagle And Mole wall at base of Mt Currie across from nairn Falls park. tricky access. 5 pitch WI3-5s. see 96 CAJ 10) Green River Bastion. Classic, rarely formed Blue Moon on Rye - iced up offwidth. 5.9 M4 WI5. even rarer formed "Firryview Estates" and "Blue Moon on Guy" to L and R respectively. CAJ = Canadian Alpine Journal. Also check bivouac ice conditions page for conditions updates and new routes. Last years at http://casbc.bivouac.com/ice0001.htm New one will be up when a freeze happens.

Last year my roommate spun out into oncoming in her Jeep right by Govt Camp and wrecked it with me in the back seat! Air bags went off and everything. I still get scared by that section of road.

Victoria Day is in May. Better for rock climbing not as good for ice climbing. Hmmm. Celebrate Nixon and Clinton or a sexually repressed old lady that ruled half the world - I dont know which nation is stupider.

Whenever you go o Smiff Rox you should take some little items and hide them in varios holds. big huecoswork good. Guy put a bunch of spoons he stole from Big-O in the dyno pocket on toxic once it was funny watching dude dyno and grab a handful of spoons. Rubber spiders in the huecos on 5 Gallon Siege Climb is always funny too. or some gummi worms.

First one to 2000 buys all the other cascadeclimbers 2 beer each!! (10 for avatars) (+two more beer drinkys it wont let me add)

snoop dogg and flea dogg, niggaz 4 life.

I thought it was the fumes coming off his bouquet!

I like this new feature, it picks some random name. I looked down there and what did I see but a member named "Z foofoo adamson etc." [sic] and then next time "Dan Larson" The featured member should get some sort of random privilege while they are featured like ability to edit other peoples posts that would be funny

what were you in prison for fleadog, bestiality?

Chat makes problems with my server so I aint gonna chat just endlessly post.

whuppin' what Erik will get if he tries to lay a beating on a Canadian. Tenderized like a raw steak mofo! bring it on! Hee hee obviously the whipping Flea dog has had has made him touchy.

get shake and heat pads and tape them on the back of your palms. warmhands with any glove. you can also put one in a pocket and put screws with frozen-in cores in the pocket for a minute to get the core loose enough to blow it out. but WD40 beforehandand then taking a lighter up the climb with you works better.

Flea Dog erik. formerly climber. now whipped. whipped when your partner cant go climbing cause his girlfriend wants to shop for candles or whatever and he bails on you you say "Dude you are Whipped!"
