How come it is sunny in the week and rainy on the weekend? Would it be too much for the reverse once in a while?

Yeah, it all depends on the approach. Snowshoe, bootpack or ski whatevers fastest, snow conditions and how far it is depending. Like if you were going in to do a multi-day approach postholing would severely suck but for a multipitch hard ice climb one hour from the road you probably wouldnt want to ski in and climb in ski boots. Also depending on the descent.. do you have to carry your approach method up and over? Skis are heavy and suck to carry even on flat ground, on technical ground it is double suck.

Hey _Flu! Get out of my basement! How can I have a basement when I live in an apartment?

Osama WANTED Bush elected. That's why he waited till 4 days before the election to release the video.

1) oNe handed bouldering 2) Slab climbing 3) This guy is climbing with a broken ANKLE so suck it up you sissy! A broken hand, pah, I could probably still ice climb with a severed head!

Scar Creek camp was pretty slow when I was there last but that was March. It may be a seasonal thing, or a regional thing (more accessible timber in different valley).

Exactly. The clearly superior option.

I think sno was more in the "nope not going" category actually. I was just making joke at him

You must be a "Two Piece Yank"

pshaw.

What about "drive to gym, get out of car, walk in, change into climbing clothes, chalk hands, climb 10 laps on 10 routes, boulder, change back into street clothes, exit into pouring gray west coast winter day, get into car, drive to bar, drink"

I am in favour of the retroactive abortion of Osama bin Laden, George Bush, Yasser Arafat, Alexander Lukashenka, Ne Win, Ali Khameini and other corrupt politicians

yep

I support retroactive abortion. Who wants some

Ice fests are about drinking beer not climbing ice

Of course, I have never skiied here so what I say may be BS. I looked up D. Lake on the map. I guess they came out from the north and down the road instead of making that 2000 meter descent right to the lake.

Bifrost Pass is at the north end on the boundary with the Whitemantle Range. I guess I wasn't thinking of Devereux Lake, but Trophy Lake. Devereux Lake is not a "popular" way to enter or exit the range in summer, Don's book indicates it is OK under spring conditions. You should buy Don Serl's book it has a lot of good beta even though it's not a ski guide.

Your "lake near Knight Inlet" option sounds bogus. I have seen those roads from the air, they stand out as bright green swathes of 30 foot high slide alder in a sea of dense second growth. You should get dropped off at Bifrost Pass and ski out Scar Creek if you want to see the range. If you just want runs, get picked up and dropped off in the alpine, eg. at Plummer Hut.

It might be hard to find a Canadian to marry in Vancouver. I suggest visiting Yellowknife or Nunavut.

Incredible! His new message wasn't up when I made my post at 1:20PM. So in that 20 minutes between yours and my posts he put it up. Klenkism. Not true, it was up at 10:30 this morning, cause someone sent me the link this AM. You probably didn't refresh your browser. And we all know there's nothing worse than the stinky smell of stale browser

Roasted baby is an Irish delicacy.

Can you back this up with some stats maybe, a survey, or an opinion poll?
