I nearly did that crack too but the dihedral & roof looked easier. Thank god for the Dihedral. Laybacking = "the technique of no technique" (this quote courtesy of Luc Mailloux c. 1996) Tape = "tape is aid". (Eric Hutton c. 1995) I have a copy of the 1974 CAJ with the line of the route on Asgard S. face marked in the photo. Dag has at least 3 routes on the N. face. only 1 mentioned in guidebook. Info on 2 more in new route book at Valhalla Pure - Nelson. Approach via Mulvey Creek is blocked by private property so you gotta come in over the ridge from gimli to Mulvey lakes then down valley, have fun humpin the gear

Why was the leper hockey game cancelled? There was a face off in the corner! What did the leper say to the hooker? Keep the tip! How can you tell if a leper has been in your shower? He left his Head & Shoulders behind.

When one of those good holds comes off in your hand, put it in your pocket and save it - you might find you need it later on.

What's the difference between a locomotive and a teacher? Locomotive goes "choo choo" and teacher says "Get rid of that gum unless you brought some for everyone!" [This message has been edited by Dru (edited 09-13-2001).]

Do you use AVA-POO brand avalanche poodles to sniff out the bodies?

What's this about "Spray" paint? taggers giving cc.com a bad name or what? I spray but i don't paint.

mybc.com is reporting "no significant waits" northbound at most border crossings, but 4 hr waits southbound. worth coming across at sumas & aldergrove rather than peace arch at busy times like this. VANCOUVER (CKNW) - Motorists headed to the United States can expect waits >of >at least four hours at the Pacific Highway border crossing. > > >However, coming north into Canada, there are no lengthy delays either in >B.C. or at other crossings across the country, with one exception. New York >State troopers are re-directing all truck traffic into a compound at the >Queenston, Ont., crossing. > > >As many as 400 trucks are waiting there to be processed. > > >At another Ontario crossing, the southbound back-up is so extreme, >officials >say it is impossible to estimate the wait time. Lighter than normal >northbound traffic is reported

Nobody's life was ever completely ruined because they grew up an orphan... Just look at James (star of james & The Giant peach). if that Rhinocerous hadn't gobbled up his parents he would never have been sent to Aunts Sponge and Spiker and would never have had his big adventure... Bronco, I'm so touched you care! Group hug everyone!

Gulo gulo! There is a wolverine den within 1km of the summit of Needle Peak, across the highway from Yak - but i'm not allowed to be more specific.

Why do the Montreal Canadiens have the letters CH as their symbol? To remind dem dat the face off is at "Centaire H'Ice" Why are the Calgary Flames gonna change their name to the Calgary Tampons? Cause they are only good for one period and don't have a second string. I got lots more hockey jokes if you care

Ok, I don't have kids but I want to jump in here. How many people live in a vacuum??? Unless you are a friendless orphan there is someone, probably many people, who will miss you when/if you die. So to single out parent climbers as somehow more selfish for taking risks than non parent climbers is a bit ingenuous to me. My big problem is with parent climbers who leave the kids at home in the care of wife/husband/TV and take off to the mountains every single weekend. Hmmmm priorities? Just like business man Dad working 80 hr weeks and getting his comeuppance when the kids cry more at the nannies' funeral than his. This post deliberately incoherent in tone. whatever.

They are covering what people send them. I consider myself prety old school but you can't deny there is a lot of enthusiasm in the climbing community at large right now for bouldering. you see it in all the mags. should they ignore it? I would hope if alpine cranking was super hot they would cover it to the same degree.

I dunno where Whillans is. Never saw him yesterday.

what were you more impressed by, that he was 79 or that someone from tacoma could climb that hard?

No, Caveman is chepe and whillans is Donna TopStep (oh wait, that's Pope... )

My favorite route name at Horne Lake: "UIAA Approved" for a 5.11 R/X multipitch.

Horne Lake? I think it is but you could call the gym (Romper Room) in Nanaimo and ask them...(try the online Yellow pages on mybc.com) or post a query on the www.gripped.com bulletin board...

Lets see some pictures Cave Man. Is reporting a route on rock and ice online better or worse than reporting it on this site?
