Im gonna go and see that this week.

I didnt say it was happening now, but that it was PREDICTED to as the world gets warmer and wetter.

if you bring music, you can only listen to music you brought. if you bring instrument, you can make whatever music you want. has to be small instrument to be effective - guitar, harp, tuba too big. flute, harmonica, bagpipe if you deflate and disassemble it

yeah when we ran out of scotch we switched to wine and i didnt even have a headache on sunday! [/chestbeat]

Even in the gym?

Book buying tip for remote climbs. Go into a thrift store and buy the thickest book you can find on sale for a dollar. Usually this will be a romance novel or some L Ron Hubbard Scientology-fiction dreck. If lucky you might find Sidney Sheldon, or Danielle Steele. The ultimate page value is the unabridged author's preferred version of "The Stand" by Steven King which is like 1,500 pages long

It's the Mountainers Scrambling Course roping up to go over Misery Ridge.

Forget the Da Vinci Code but if you ever get a chance to watch "Da Vinci's Inquest" on CBC its a pretty good TV show starring Nicholas Campbell as a Vancouver coroner.

maybe it's time for a first "winter" ascent of Yellow Brick Road

It's roasting in Lillooet right now...has gone from +2C to +12C in the last few hours as the new warm front comes through

Hiked, took pictures, went to party, drank scotch and red wine, did stupid grad seminar homework, wrote stupid journal articles, climbed in gym

Exactly. It has been known to snow 8 feet in 2 days in June on the Klinaklini. It's one of the few places in North america that is predicted to have advancing glaciers under many climate change models.

Why the fuck would you bring all your own food to Squamish when Canadian food is cheaper than American by 30-50%? Save money, buy Canadian.

yeah they is pretty cool even in summer According to Don's guide this is a WI2 pitch in winter. It's too bad according to Adrians site that Monmouth did not freeze up even in the most recent cold snap.

i'm gonna be in squamish that night

Abbeys best books are Monkey Wrench, Des Solitaire, Down the River and the Brave Cowboy, more or less in that order. Black Sun rounds out the top 5.

shames is about the same distance north of wadd that vancouver is north of smith rocks and 2500m lower

I kept thinking about this and remembered the Automatic Snow Pillows! Here is the list of sites. http://wlapwww.gov.bc.ca/rfc/river_forecast/pillows.htm The closest sites to Waddington is the Upper Mosely site which is located not far from Whitesaddle Air. You will see while most of the snow pillows are recording snow water equivalents close to record minimums for this time of year, Upper Mosely, and also Burnt Bridge Creek in Tweedsmuir Park, are recording snowpacks not far below recorded MAXIMUM. I am guessing there is a zone around Waddington to Monarch where most of the precip this winter has fallen as snow rather than rain.

Here is a photo topo for BV Falls (all water today) Red is "Decent Divorce" WI4/4+ left of Never a Bride Yellow is NAB Green is Bridal Falls itself Blue is "Right of Bridal Falls" WI3+ Purple is White Wedding. Just checking but Pax or Fern what you guys climbed was the blue line, not White Wedding - yes?

the book you take should be long and not very good. if you read it fast you will have to reread it. i read the same issue of the economist 5 times at talchako
