it depends how much you like sitting in a tree all night

Real live fire ants!

Olympic Judging is all done by the Mafia anyways.

I can look out my window and see da freshiez.

Wirebrushes and beer goggles.

I have come to the conclusion that the mountain weather forecast is basically useless anyways. I mean say you want to climb Garibaldi. You look at the Squamish forecast and if the POP is 40% or higher it will probably be pissing down on the mountain. Likewise if the forecast for Revelstoke is for thunderstorms you don't have to be a genius to figure on bad weather on Sir Donald.

Do you think they would take one of these?

This notion is catnip for the techno-intelligentsia: "Wow, if we brainy geeks were even more like we already are, we'd be godlike!" Check out the biographies of real-life geniuses, though - Newton, Goethe, da Vinci, Einstein - and you find vulnerable mortals who have difficulty maintaining focus. If the world were full of da Vincis, we'd all be quarrelsome, gay, left-handed Italians who couldn't finish a painting.

Pal, J.S., F. Giorgi, and X. Bi, 2004: Consistency of recent European summer projection trends and extremes with future regional climate projections. Geophysical Research Letters, 31, L13202, doi:10.1029/2004GL019836. Patterns of recent summer trends in European droughts and floods are remarkably consistent with projected climate change, according to a recent study by a group of Italian scientists. The trend in 500 hPa geopotential height (from NCEP data) and mean summer precipitation (from CRU data) where calculated by subtracting 1951-1975 average values from the 1976-2000 values. The ICTP Regional Climate model was run for two IPCC scenarios A2 (a higher GHG scenario) and B2 (a lower GHG scenario). The patterns from the model run (for both A2 and B2) were shown to be similar to the observed changes in the patterns over Europe. However, as expected, the scale of the changes between recent changes and projected changes are different. The authors concluded that although they cannot link the recent changes to anthropogenic greenhouse gases, the results do suggest observed drying trends might continue over much of Europe.

Since e to the i to the pi is equal to e to the (i times pi), it's all irrelevant.

its snowing down to 2000m in jasper right now

So did you find any of Tobin Sorenson's body parts up there or what?

hello I want to climb this route also but only have a 60m rope. Do you know if 60m is adequate or should I buy 10m of webbing to tie onto the end of my rope?

There seems to a be a group of industrious and anonymous Canucks that keep the Depot Creek Trail nice and brush free, any clue if similar work goes on in the Chilliwack Valley? The industrious and anonymous weed smugglers lugging the 80 lb packs full of bud down to Hannegan Pass TH? Incidentally Homeland Security just set up a new surveillance and patrol office in Bellingham specifically to target unauthorized border crossings. This means drug smugglers and climbers making informal border crossings. Look out if making the Canadian approach to tomyhoi, redoubt etc a black helicopter might swoop down and shoot you!

I heard John Kerry was behind the recent theft of "The Scream"

What exactly IS the proper term to refer to an extinct species recreated through cloning? Ex-extinctees?

"Gives a little steaksauce" The_Nodder? Oh my god!

Seeing as Redoubt trail is fine I dont think Chilliwack River trail would be much worse.

Please drink a beer today to the memory of all the poor victims of broken cordelettes

polish, and lost
