Speaking of cold things breaking I heard The Terminator fell down yesterday!

Maybe your duct tape was substandard and you should pay $20 for a premium brand.

Cool Perhaps for your next attempt you should induce Korsakov's Syndrome so you have no short term memory and hence have no idea how badly you are suffering!

With 2000m of elevation gain and a notable lack of pro on 5.7ish mixed climbing for most routes it is not really recommended as a moderate winter climb.

Oh yeah the scary icicle on the Central Three Sisters that Janez and Don climbed last year, was almost touching down at 8:30 AM, and had fallen down!!!!!! by 2:30 PM

I do not like horizontal frontpoints for pure ice cause they seem to fracture chandeliers more than verticals. I have my M10's set up with offset duals, inner point long and outer point short, which gives me a pseudo-mono but some of the stability benefits of duals as well and seems to work with my asymmetric boots. I tried regular mono, and normal symmetric dual, with these crampons and prefer my current setup. Disclaimer I don't do much mixed with them so this is mainly with respect to water ice. The only BD gear I like is the ice screws. The tools all seem to have the wrong balance and/or grip shape and the crampons also seem to have design flaws as witness the infamous Switchblade which everyone seems to hate with a passion!

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

leaving tomorrow AM

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.
