"Q: Are you flying? A: No. But, we're falling with style".

westcoastice.com Salmon Stakes is not worth driving even from Vancouver to climb, IMHO!

Maybe it has a boulder start.

So here is a great trivia challenge. What is the peak in the picture behind the Snaffle? Is it 1) Patagonian spire 2) Monument Valley sandstone 3) Grand Teton 4) Dolomites 5) Something the artist made up 6) Der Toof!

Can't do Realization, but climbs 15a anyways. D Graham claims new 15a in Swissyland after failing to send Sharma's rig at Ceuse. Discuss.

Yeah, his results as I recall them were - if less than 2" of screw is sticking out of the ice, clip it if more than 2" of screw is sticking out, use a shorter screw instead.

Flying s - the new hot trend as housepets!

a common misconception. climbs are rated in the YDS by overall difficulty, not by the hardest move. in the case of boulder starts, it is much easier to climb a boulder problem off the deck, with as many tries as you want and no fall consequence, than it is at the top of a climb (particularly if you don't haul your rack up until you are past the bouldery opening moves) so the difficulty of boulder starts is not reflected in the overall number grade for the route.

U don't think the whole "region" thing just works by time zone Try setting your clock to west coast time.

wrong region, probably

radical offroading!

dude "the beast"'s snaffle army is awe inspiring!

Squid and olyclimber prepare for battle!

Ok muffy, here's the real picture

Just kiddin ya dude Here's my real picture

BTW here is a picture of me!

Yeah, me too!

When I was trying to learn to scratch, that was my learner record. "Send...{schwschwschw}Send..." It sounded like the Rampage commentary!

I heard a rumour she is crazy and resembles "Divine" from the movie Pink Flamingoes I think that's why Treetoad gets excited.

It's just apatite They can fix it so you can't tell.

Actually that's not true, I broke some of my teeth when in a fight in Grade 2, and this other kid clocked me with his lunchbox, right in the mouth. Then, 18 years later, I went to take a swig out of a bottle of Eau Benite at a drunken party, and wham! knocked the etchings off my teeth with the bottle.

Ive never even broken anything - a car hit me and ran over my foot once, but it just sprained my toe.

Keep these stories coming! I have to say everyone is out of control when they learn to ski or snowboard. It's kind of inevitable. I'm just not sure how this guy managed to hit me on a huge wide open green run with only about ten other people out that night. AlpineK would make a good TaunTaun on a cold day
