Griffiths is the right of the three twin peaks. Beelzebub is the double summit. Ratcliff has been climbed by east and SW ridges. On the FA of the mountain by the east ridge one Glenn Woodsworth was too sick in camp after eating rancid bacon to climb, and missed out on the FA. The things you learn from the CAJ

Yeah, Satan, Dagon, Beelzebub, Geryon, it's like a heavy metal nerd wank-fest over there!

as of last weekend you could climb at rehab projects and chek

What is sez is Princess in the photos above is Cerberus. "i'm sorry Mario but the Princess is in another castle" Darin what exactly did you say about the route that got Ray all Oh yeah and what I said was Hyperion in the Borealis Pks is actually Aurora Tower

If only we had done the 5.11 sit start, Alpinist would be SOOO on our tip, and sponsored Prana hotties would buy us beers at that Colorado "invitation only" shmozze fest. What a narrowescape!

Gotta collectivize 'em all!

Summer rocks How many Prana tops do you see in November huh?

I pity tha foo who tries to mess with my chains!

A Spectre is haunting the Internet. The Spectre of Revolution! Rise up sprayers. You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Hey Vladimir Ilich! We should never have let that swine Dzugashvili into the Party! My head hurts!

It's a good thing you drank beer at the Chinese place in Boston Bar cause the water is responsible for several Health Code violations!! Better to go to the railway cafe in North Bend or the Canyon Alpine truckstop 2 minutes north up the highway.

COMRADES! The battle is over but the war has just begun!

Advice to poets from Jean Cocteau: “Find out what you do best, and then don't do it.”

see p.142 alpine select [chestbeat]Having climbed Old Settler 5x now (7x if you count climbing 2 routes over 2 days as 2 climbs)[/chestbeat] I can say that it is much more enjoyable the more road you can drive. It's worth it to wait for them to rebuild the bridge. If you can't wait till then you can go in via Settler Creek and climb Watchman's Ridge (the NE ridge, Gr. III 5.8), NW ridge (Gr. II 5.5) or have a go at the unclimbed 950m north face. BUT the bugs on the Settler are hideous beyond belief in August. September is a much nicer month to climb it. I will see you up there in late September.

w00t! Any comments about doing it this way rather than starting up the Bravo?

You can drive one hour east and see the WORLDS LARGEST UKRANIAN EASTER EGG!!!!

Inthe DEATH ZONE, altitude will build up in the body until death occurs. Hence the name.

There is nothing cool to do in Edmonton and the nearest mountains are 3 hours west in Jasper. Well - not exactly true, there are jazz festivals and stuff in the summer in Edmonton, it has more culture than Calgary. But you can find out all that on the city's website which you can find with Google.

Up in the Peace River country a rancher told me how his dog was lured away from the farm by a coyote bitch in heat. His dog followed the "femme fatale" right into an ambush set up by the rest of her pack and was torn to shreds by them. The coyotes then raided the chicken coop next to the ranchhouse that the dog had been protecting. These are very intelligent creatures and there is a strong correlation between human hunting of them and their population increasing...they thrive on adversity and have larger litters when threatened.

If chased by coyotes, getting them to run off a cliff or trigger their own ACME Corp. rocket to explode with them aboard are time honoured methods of escaping pursuit.

You can still make a 2WD approach to the Old Settler Pub

When Al Jazeera camera team or reporters follows al-Sadr militia along, it is somehow ethically or morally different from embedded Fox News reporters in US military units? I suppose the al-Sadr may be more likely to commit violent acts if it gets them on Arab TV whereas the presence of a Western reporter may be an iuncentive for US military forces to avoid shooting women and children etc. if they know its going straight to the 6 PM news in their home town. Although from what I heard the newsfeeds coming out of the "embedded" reporters were heavily edited to remove all that anyways.

hey ice ice baby the MEC gave me a new antibotte for the M10 but i never put it on. i found out it actually almost never balls up.

make an alpinfox style nude ascent of west ridge north twin sister and post the pix
