I think the Quark is better than the Aztar for waterfalls and the Aztar is a better tool for alpine. It depends on what you want to do with it in other words. If you just want one tool to do everything I'd get the one thats better at what you plan to do the most of.

Sure Is Nodder!

Until you break them

Is Nusic what Ted Nugent plays Pa rum pa pum pum.

Horsecock.

I think there are more serious issues at the Forgotten Wall than route names written in marker pen which only lasts a few months anyway Specifically hold chipping and bolted cracks You can join the debate ad nauseum at squamishclimbing.com aka cheakamuschipping.com

you can write Nodder again

Good lord, the steak sauce is down with the Timm@y board hijinx. NODDER!

I kind of wondered that too. Like did the film makers expect us to think that aliens abducted the missing flight and sent a cruise missile in instead. Were the remains from the passengers on the flight, documented at the Pentagon? I look at the film as an exercise in critical thinking.

It would be a bit of a slog even from where you could get a sled to. Also all 3 lines are sitting at the bottom of avalanche chutes.

But the film in the link does not dispute any of those points cj001f. What it does reference is that the "plane" that struck the Pentagon may not have been the hijacked Boeing 757 jet but a smaller plane or missile.

Canoe up Ross Lake. Camp on beach. Canoe back down. You do the paddling and your friend checks out the wilderness.

Brent Raymond, Canmore guide and originally from Australia, fell 35m from the approach to Carlsberg Column in Field on Saturday. His helmet was allegedly smashed into tiny pieces by the impact. His partner descended to him, stabnilised him and ran out to the road to get help. Brent was longlined out and taken to hospital and tragically died in hospital from his injuries. I did not ever meet Brent Raymond in person but from reading his postings on live-the-vision and reports he wrote for Gravsports.com I know who he is and I feel saddened nonetheless. RIP Brent.

That is very interesting! So I assume that the fractures spread at right angles to the direction of pull. If the screws are aligned horizontally, the fractures spread from one screw to the other. Can you remember where you saw the testing results published? It has nothing to do with that cbs. Waterfall ice is loaded vertically by gravity. Thus it tends to fracture horizontally. This is why free standing pillars crack across the middle and the lower part below the crack falls off. Also this is why vertical frontpoints shatter the ice less than horizontal frontpoints.

Theres feets of freshiez in Coquihalla Pass and moire falling as we spray.

Yes speaking of "gooo-ooots" mountain goat herds are matriarchal. The oldest Nanny is the boss. Billygoats that act too horny are butted into line. As for the other question I like it when girls climb hard because it means they can rope gun me Perhaps it is different when you are two climbers dating as I have seen at least two relationships where "Boy Climber" and "Girl Climber" were both climbing at more or less the same level and as soon as Girl Climbers 1 and 2 started to climb harder than Boy Climbers 1 and 2, they broke up and found respectively Boy Climbers 3 and 4 who were climbing 2-3 number grades harder than the ex boyfriends.

jordop, stemalot and I went up to Lillooet to have a look for some "high elevation" ice. Don Serl and I had seen some dripping bluffs in summer in the valley of Enterprise Creek and we speculated these would freeze up before anything else around Lillooet. The downside is that at 6000' elevation one must also try and get up the 12km, 5000' elevation gain logging road before snow fall renders it impassible. Well we drove up, parked the Jeep at 5000' and in a foot of snow and bashed up the alder covered final Enterprise Creek spur to look at the ice. There are three potential lines. One looks like WI5 if in and was a mix of hanging curtains and running water over wet rock. One was in but unprotectably thin-looking and looked like mostly WI2 with some snow covered rock. The third is a neat looking corner line that would be WI3 or 4 if fully in but had some obvious hollow sections and holes. Well after looking at all of these and trying to convince ourselves we should climb the WI2 on Sunday as a reward for slogging in there (it was now 2:30 PM due to a late start) a blizzard started so we left and went to the bar instead. I have no doubt these lines will fatten in the next few weeks with current temperatures but if any more snow falls it would be a long, long ski or slog in to get at them. I have no intent of rushing back. If anyone is more motivated the Grid Reference location is at 730065 on NTS map 92 I/12. Copnsidering these lines are at the same elevation as the top of "Isodorth" and "Belmore" I think its safe to say there is no ice in, in Lillooet yet. There was a thicker looking flow on the bottom of the north-northeast face of Mt Brew. It would be another hour and a half back up the valley to get at what is probably a 2-3 pitch WI2. If you are really desperate get up there now while avalanche hazrd is low.

Ive never had problems plunging the Quark shaft and I have used them a lot in the alpine.

I kinda like it when you get that jalapeno in the eye sensation, after the first 10 minutes anyway.

Hey E if you can't find it just walk up to 3rd summit and then walk DOWN to the top of the route and rap in.

I sent my old rack to Cuba.

When I was down at Smiff some kids walking by while I was belaying asked me if I was a Beavers fan. I told them it was past time for them to take their ritalin and STFU.
