c'mon everyone knows DFA is really Iain. I heard a rumor Alan Watts is gonna show up asnd sign copies of the NEW GUIDEBOOK

thats why I am asking, I can not figure out why he was using a tiblock along with an ATC while belaying someone form the top of a climb cause he was SKETCH!!!!!!!

You have otter envy.

Just hand over hand it or free solo that'll show them

This would be a TR but all I did was hike around and gape. The gate was closed but not locked. I walked in anyways to avoid the possibility of being locked in. The gate was still unlocked when I came out. I could have avoided 12km of hiking. Where the ford has been removed you can get across at current water levels by crawling along a logjam 100m downstream. Then bushwacking through devils club back to the road. The road is getting kind of overgrown past the river crossing. 3 years ago this was veggie-free and driveable. I was hiking up here to scout out the Priest/Coupe couloir. This is one of the rare Chilliwack Valley alpine ice climbs. It looks like it's in good shape albeit with some serac/schrunds right at the bottom to get through and maybe a bit of snow covered rock at the top to the Nesakwatch/Rexford col. Lindeman looked purty with a sugar coating of frosted freshiez too. Silhouette of the Nesakwatch Spires with "Nesakwatch Notch" at right. Hopefully this winter... Oh yes I saw an otter splashing around in one of the salmon spawning channels near the road on the way in.

Maybe climbing a rope frayed by dozens of gapers with Tiblocs will actually inject some "adventure" into your fixed-rope marked-course race. You could always use a prusik.

Yes, I saw a real live otter today in the Chilliwack Valley It wasn't nailing paper plates to trees either!

"adventure races" are silly. that's what I think

Jordop is just wishing there is a guidebook not cause he wants to repeat a route but cause he wants to do one of those Layton Style 5.10bXR "first ascent" thingys and ifn he finds a soft iron pin on the 9th pitch his day will be ruined and his plans for chest thumpin in the AAJ will be defeated.

Silly _poo, this thread is bigger than any of us. Except for the Otter! Oh.my.god!

I believe that we should nominate this thread as one of the "Cascade Jewels", right up there with Koala Rock and Donald Duck Rock.

if the only thing holding you back from a successful redpoint is the weight of your harness, you are just weak.

Dude that is just the grizzly and black bear joke with the location moved to Mozambique and blacks and griz replaced with cubs and lions

Winter is coming Where is the unclimbed ice? I have been reading about the famous climbers and think I would like to make one of these "first ascents". Please post details of how to find secret unclimbed ice here. Thanks

How many lemons would you have to squeeze to get 5 lbs. of citric acid?

The rest of you are screwed! This sounds like my best chance to get muyself a new bike

Anybody can be good at WI2. Even skiers.

Skiing sux Skiing is for those who are too weak or fat to ice-climb.

Fucktard and put up Wet

Thats Thingk with a K

...or a cuddly partner. But a fire will keep you warmer over the course of the night.

I never practiced falling, but I still managed to fall quite easily!
