I am going to cut and paste this to Adrian Burke because I'm lazy. Lillooet: it's coming in super fast. From conversation with a couple of guides who were there on Tue and Wed, things went from thin to normal/fat in about 4 days Lillooet/Duffy Rd. Honeyman. Wet but will be good in a few days Cherry Ice in Marble Canyon: ice farmed routes have reappeared, about 8 separate climbable ice lines on lower tier Small Creep in Counting Chickens in Three Ring Circus as fat as its been for years Synchro, Serendipity fattening rapidly, Synchro approach gully looking a bit bony Tube in Duffys Delight in Tres Burly pillar in! Carls Berg more like Kronenburg (thin) Deep Throat in Loose Lady In Rambles in Shreddie thin & hanging; Closet Secrets reportedly just ice blobs at present Not in enough yet or at all: Twilight Tiers, Seton weeps, Out of the Vault, Waiting Game, Cut Throat, wet Lady Soo Bluffs: reportedly in Fraser Canyon: Jackass, Kanaka Kolumn, Sailor Bar Gully all in. Superheroes Cirque forming, right hand pillars just touching down, left side very thin Water Music, Under the Big Top very thin Hope area: Mousetrap, Medusa, Carpe Diem Better Mousetrap, all apparently in but lean and or/hollow as of Monday, fattening rapidly.

lets see if this works happy new year

that's on mcleod and it is all snow

Alberta Powder has rocks in it.

Hey I know where that second one is I think

Did U climb Mousetrap today?

Pencil more like Crayon as of Jan 01 and still standing in -30 but no one wanted to test its stability.

R stands for Rum and Coke What you buy Lyle.

How about a Selected Chosspiles guidebook so you know which routes to avoid. Sneak your favorite underground classic into the guide to ensure the masses never discover it.

76% humidity on the moon? Lunar Green Cheese: 23% m.f., 76% hum.

Im taking Thurs and Fri off if the weather stays like this Jackass is fully in BTW

Oh yeah the Rockies are good too but it is -30C and things break when its that cold

Lillooet is in. Fraser Canyon is FAT Hope is dope. Quit work, go climbing

it was $65 at the time.

Sea of clouds

I walked away from a bank machine once leaving the $100 i just withdrew sticking out of the slot didn't notice it until i went to buy beer and the wallet was empty WTF??

If there is an 8.9 or 9.2 in the strait of georgia that won't help much.

The Northern Lights from the Icefields Parkway

Summer trail. Snow was patchy on steeper S facing slopes below lake. Wore crampons across slippery grass.

From 8a.nu: "Tsunami hits Railay Beach 2004-12-26 A tsunami created by an eartquake hit Railay Beach in Thailand at 11.00. All restaurants by the beach have been destroyed but no climbers have been reported seriously injured. Some 100 climbers ran in panic from the beach and some red-points had a dramatic finish, when suddenly a 10 meter wave appeared."

Climb: Welch Peak-SE Face Date of Climb: 12/24/2004 Trip Report: Shaun, Dave and I wandered up Welch Peak on Xmas Eve Day. Nice view of cloud seas in Chilliwack Valley. Snow was rock hard crust that supported the weight of a truck; we drove to end of Williamson Lake road. Lots of spindrift blowing around, high winds, very amusing, also cold. But it was sunny. Nice ice formed up in Williamson Cirque, kinda white and sun rotted where south facing, blue where east facing. We trudged up to below the Welch-Foley col and up into the SE bowl on Welch. Shaun and I made it partway up the final SE face but Dave was going quite slowly and not enjoying soloing the steeper conditions on the final face so we decided to turn around about 150-200m below the summit. Just the top of Old Settler was showing over the clouds when looking north. Made it down to the truck just at the time it started snowing, and home to Chilliwack by dark. A great day out with excellent views of Chilliwack Valley peaks wearing winter coats. Gear Notes: Crampons, mountaineering axe. Approach Notes: Drove Williamson Lk Road to ~1200m.
