Tiara Tower?

Today is the 10-month anniversary of the Nodder Thread. Where is the Nodder? Maybe making scarecrows?

The current Environment Canada forecast apparently thinks that cold front is not going to make it as far south as Vancouver.

6 hours?

you need warm days and cold nights for good alpine ice. nothing will form unless the snow is melting in the day and freezing at night to form a source of water for the ice.

what, you mean THIS large gash?

Trust me, you won't be able to drive to where the gate is.

Camera tilt is like bad plastic surgery: everyone knows its fake but it still looks dumb.

happy happy joy joy

You guys are all furries. I feel so unclean for having read this thread

Chillaxin' in da Hood

the north face of cathedral is 3rd class, i'm too lazy to post the picture, i'm sure darin has an annotated pitch by pitch topo

it isnt normally driveable, but you might be able to get in there right now; after tonight's blizzard, that is probably it for access until late march.

got a nice view of "easy intro" today while driving to jobsite, it is fat the two unclimbed waterfalls on mt woodside are both in. easily seen on hwy 7 heading west from agassiz. looks like about an hour's downhill traverse from the logging road for two fat one or two pitch wi 3-4s if anyone is desperate.

Are you going to switch your look if he says its a chick magnet?

I am used to bails that you have to reshape through pounding with a hammer to adjust. But for any metal the more that you bend it the more you will create a weak spot.

Can I set a new official human-dog speed record if I use a gondola?

Canned soup is aid.

Most of those humanoids are in the 3rd world. They aren't out there crowding up local routes. The town of Lillooet is for instance in severe trouble economically. The closure of government offices and departure of those regular government paycheques significantly reduced the local income base. So the more ice climbers eating in restaurants, staying in hotels etc. the better for the town. I don't mind extra climbers in Lillooet but maybe they should spread out a bit instead of flocking like sheep to the same 2 areas every weekend all winter long. Then again in the Rockies you see the same thing with 25 people on Cascade and no one on Rogan's.

I was googling "Mike Layton"

You can bet that the coming weekend will see the herds blindly stampede to Lillooet despite great climbing on offer in other parts of SWBC if it stays cold. There is nothing to fear from herds. Unless you too have herd mentality. No one ever goes to Hell Creek, Spray Creek, Cedarvale Falls etc because they are too busy swarming to the Rambles and Marble Canyon. Hell even I climbed at Marble and Rambles last weekend.
