  1. no you do need two images but they alternate full screen and the shutters flicker open and closed. its sort of like 3d glasses but without the red and blue lenses. the flickering of the images and the shutters are synchronized so each eye only sees one full screen image
  2. it depends if its raining or not.
  3. your loss now i'm wondering why you need to register a new user name for every post? you'll never hit 20,000 that way.
  4. but layton already has the bitter and desperate act under lockdown! and if it doesnt work for him do bug and greg really think it will work for them?
  5. i just put my work stereoscope up against the screen in our other office they have these funky shutter glasses that let you look at digital sat photos in 3d. its really cool for scoping secret valleys full of unknown big walls
  6. and even though you don't have a Shocker next to your name you still get to be a "gaper on board" where is imorris?
  7. real honest grade VI's would also include the east face of slesse. i would have to call the NE butt of slesse a V but right at the bottom end of the scale. the east butt direct, nav wall and real mckim would also be V's, all are harder and more sustained tho than the ne butt. otoh routes like the SE butt or flight 810 would be IV's
  8. lambone vs pass the s please
  9. thats the cheam range - pp. 144 -150 red beckey
  10. As closely as I can remember it Don's list from Coast Mag was Ashlu S face Yak Check Solar System on Habrich Rexford East ridge Slesse NE butt Opus on Viennese Tuning Fork on Bardean Springboks North Ridge on Clarke only 5 of which were his first ascents...such understated modesty
  11. Wayne - there are several Grade VII's in North America - all are big wall climbs on Baffin Island. "THE" traverse of the Waddington summits plus Combatant, Tiedemann, Asperity, Serra V, Serra IV, Serra III, Serra II and Serra I, is only given a Grade VI. are you saying the pickets traverse is significantly more serious than that? I am not starting an argument. I am merely pointing out hyperbole. I would do the same if someone said that freeing Liberty Crack was 5.14, even though I haven't freed Lib crack.
  12. i think you should climb wherever catbirdseat is going but get there 5 minutes before him
  13. I saw grizzly tracks right at the point where the upper red x is
  14. Im pretty sure lurker Andy Cairns had or has some set up for taking stereo pics with two point and shoots taped together.
  15. the definition of Grade VII is "a remote (usually big wall) climb requiring at least SEVERAL WEEKS." if you could get as far as you did in several days I don't think the whole traverse could be called Grade VII except in hyperbole....
  16. I remember what Don's classics from Coast magazine were. I might even have the article filed away. Fortunately or not new climbs and new opinions since then have perhaps altered the list somewhat. One of the climbs on Don's list was deliberately rejected by the author of Alpine Select for instance. I still don't know why
  17. dude if i go to a new area i research it first... then i ask questions after i have some clue.
  18. how about Black Peak NE ridge Shuksan Fisher Chimneys Johannesburg N face I mean really though. If someone is asking the question then they probably dont even have the selected guide but they won't understand any of our answers so they will have to buy the guidebook anyways. With that in mind I would say to hell with the Cascades, come to Vancouver, fly in to Red Tit Hut and spend all 5 days bagging peaks in the Tantalus Range.
  19. did someone say an otter at the wheel?
