snowline is around 900m and coquihalla pass is around 1200, you figure it out

try this. put the cam flat on your palm. put middle and index fingers on trigger. now put heel of hand on end of cam and place. what is so hard? i rarely use thumb to place cams.

Hey those Irbis are fine for alpine ice climbing. I carry one when soloing so that if my crampon detaches accidentally I can clip to a screw while I refix the crampon. Weighs nothing and good for body weight!

You dont need thumbs to place single stem cams silly, you can use the ball/heel of your hand, that the thumb sprouts off of.

Fresh off 8a.nu DFA she stole your project, dude!

Pika Mallards Sort of like a fat Birdbeak or CrackN Up for Hand placed aid in thin seams, but doesnt have enough hook to the tip and slips out of placement when you weight it. WTF?

Which is kinda like braggin to women about how fast you are in bed Did your mama ever have any children that lived?

People ski in SWBC cause they can't ice climb

Well while I wait for the AAJ to come the next two books in the stack are "Chicot the Jester" -Alexandre Dumas, and "Emma" - Jane Austen that ought to take a week or ten days to get through those.

Just finished "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell", Susanna Clarke. Next up the AAJ, when it fucking arrives that is my copy is stuck in a pile of 150,000 unsorted pieces of mail at Canada Customs because the stupid border guards union is working to rule

I think thats Tower Mountain?

Too much snow to form good ice at the moment. Lots of running water under 3 feet of snow. A week of sunny, cold weather would radically improve things ---> Arctic high Dance.

Yesterdays storm brought up to a meter of freshiez to the mountains near Hope. No base to speak of. Don't exactly know why but we were postholing and hadnt brought skis , turned around by postholes deeper than ball height at 1650m

In other news, the sun will rise in the morning

I don't care if 2/3 are hidden cause 2/3 of what's visible is 3rd class forest

Are Free Climb Walling and Speed Walling Russ Walling's little brothers

Holds in the gym don't suddenly explode and rip off a 6' across chunk of rock including the bolt you are clipped to

Dude that things like 2 pitches high anyways, it's "the big So What"

yeah that's why it says "GRIVEL" on the handle

The one on top looks aggro!

These are on the divide south of Slesse, on the US side. Looking for info from anyone who has climbed them from the WA side, how long was the approach?

there are no trees in the bugaboos.

Pan Doom Falls on Baker is reliable and closer than Swill-a-wet.

Uk magazines are even more worthless than American ones. Except for Andy Kirkpatrick's column and even that is pretty ditzy.

Damn thats awesome. I should apply that technique to the Canmore bivi problem.
