Apparently last night was pretty good Tonight might also be good. Check out the photos here

some indian dude showed me how you can fish using a coke can for a reel, and no rod, back in 1992. we ate a lot of trout, char and salmon that summer. i can't remember what the bait was though. maybe a chunk of bacon fat? i have been on lakes where you didnt even need a rod the fish just jumped right in the boat! i like to club them on the head

packed full of summits

the a1 motel is a bit better than the akai.

but only Miss Normandy is a "REAL PERSON, DAMNIT"

"never mind the dog beware of owner"

A friend of mine was at Cultus Lake back in the early 90's when a chromed out Cadillac arrived at the beach towing a jet boat. Out of the car hop 2 large athletic black men described as looking like CFL players. These guys are dressed to the 9's and soon change into brand new wetsuits and beach attire. The jet boat is launched and a water ski attached. One guy stands on the beach with waterskis holding the tow-rope and the other guy jumps behind the boat wheel. "ARE YOU READY SKI KING?" "MAKE IT HAPPEN CAPTAIN!" Engine gunned and the boat shoots off... skiier has forgotten to attach himself to his water skis, and is dragged off the skis and along on his stomach after the boat for 500 yards or so before boat pilot looks around and sees whats happening.... Anyways we used to use "Are you ready Ski King" and "Make it happen Captain" instead of On belay, off belay etc.

1) people who post questions as TRs 2) political threads 3) people who refer to the Coast Mountains as the Coast Range. You are all so suck. Thank you for allowing Canadian to post.

and on the 2 year anniversary too!

well what does the OED know anyways here's what good old wikipedia has to say on the subject

no. selkirks south stops in the badshot range.

can you go back to 1994 and buy me 3 pairs of boreal vectors size 9?

i thought it was 5.8+

Is there an axis of rogue waves like there is an axis of evil rogue states?

the south ridge is the best route in the world. it was originally rated 5.7 even washington climbers will find it pretty hard for 5.7

I did find this on bivouac, south ridge in center, east ridge at right.

not scanned sorry. it's 3rd class with some 4th at the top, you downclimb it after doing the s ridge.

you can't see the east ridge in the photo, that is the NW side. Space Buttress IV 5.12+ A0 takes the overhanging arete at the right.

Saw a Mr E style white Eurovan yesterday with a stupid yin-yang and it said "That was Zen this is Tao" on it. Somewhere out there, someone thought that was funny enough to make into a bumper sticker

you should think about east ridge of gimli, and the wolfs ears to dag traverse. the northwest ridge of gimli is a monster. here it is

the only guidebook is the black "columbia Mts of Canada - West and South" AAC/ACC book which i believe is out of print. try abebooks.com
