  1. Most bedrock cliffs are metastable anyways. But the release of strain (or is that stress, ) takes 10,000 to 20,000 years due to the elastic modulus of granite being low, so...
  2. Read a biography of Trotsky Not many ppl but historians today can understand the diff between the two without a picture anyways. It's all the fault of refrigerators. No one needs an ice pick since the 50s.
  3. Does a change in the factor of safety result from gravity
  4. The murder weapon was an ice pick. That woman is running a scam, and whoever buys from her gets what they deserve.
  5. Summer arrives Wednesday on the Coast
  6. Signs that large rockfalls may be about to occur include - widening cracks, IE, topo says 2" and crack is 6" small rockfalls from the base of flakes and pillars creaking, groaning noises grating sounds dust drifting out of cracks new cracks forming on what used to be blank faces or clean slabs if you see any of these signs, run away some or all of these were reported immediately before the rockfall on Trango tower (see Alpinist 11) and the 1990's rockfall on the Dru in Chamonix. neither of the above mentioned rockfalls had anything to do with rainfall.
  7. Yeah you read it in Climbing or Rock and Ice an issue ago. Basically this type of rockfall is not really an issue above treeline because freeze/thaw and snowmelt induced rockfall are so much more common that they strip off rock so fast (relatively speaking) that the big masses never get the chance to fail. For instance, look at the "Perkins Pillar fell over" thread in the BC forum. That fell over because the glacier that lies under it, undermined its support. Not because of rainfall.
  8. You need a lot of rainfall and a lot of rock. mUch more likely to affect rockfall in the valleys than rockfall in the mountains. And if its raining in the mtns that bad you are probably pulling plastic in the gym.
  9. ice pick, used to assassinate Trotsky, or like as in "Ice Pick Slim", pimp Ice axe, good for dorking your way up a slog route on a Cascade jewel. Best with shorts over polypro and name on your helmet. Comprende?

    I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein and shot billards with a midget until the rain stopped and I bought a long sleeved shirt with horses on the front and some gum and a lighter and a knife and a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)

    Don't forget to show off your logo-covered windshirt and blingin' Neutrinos. You see, linking a Trifecta of Cascade Jewels is a good reason to speed. Everyone slogs up a volcano at about the same speed so the only way you can set a new speed record is by speeding between the points.
