Dear Fairweather and Sisu "A quitter never wins and a winner never quits"

The $5 ones are stereophotos used for mapping, so technically you need to buy 2 to make them work. Not exactly guidebook style. Straight down from above usually at 1:20 000 to 1:15 000 scale. The problem with aerial oblique shots as used in Selkirks South and Alpine Select (for instance) is that often times they aren't much use when you are on the ground or on the route owing to the different perspective. Also the guidebook author usually wants to take the air photos themselves. I just wait till Im working in the area then take the photos from the helicopter

It says here that J Lo dumped Ben! Jennifer, honey, check your PMs. You don't have to be single no longer.

imagine how fast you could spray with no atmosphere to impede the droplets

sour grapes cause i got pagetop and u didnt

toothless

you hard man you, dick just think how much suffering the fucker will feel when his or her route is listed in a guidebook and the guidebook author lists it as "a contrived overbolted choss heap" having someone criticize route online will pale by comparison cause you can't defend yourself in a guidebook whatever the author says goes

i haven't climbed it but i saw it climbed a few yrs back and the ice don climbed up in rays pic was not there at all just a skinny phone pole sized pillar coming straight down from the bolts to the ground. perhaps it was wi 6 in those conditions which is what the leader told me anyways. i actually do not know if those were the fa conditions or not but had heard it was independent pillar when first lead so i assumed so. if not then dale do you think you make the fa or what? when did tom do it?

and on same subject - how mtn goats survive avalanche tewrrain

u know u love it

This is Don leading p2 of the Xwisten Steps (crux) note how wet he is

note that this is the blind mole rat, not the more famous naked mole rat. whether the naked mole rat has a magnetic sense is not known.

I can buy aerials from the prov. government for less than $5 each... I can find alpine oblique shots available free on Randall G's website... What is a "unofficial professional photographer"? A guy with a camera? If that's the case I must be a pro!

isn't the second one the N and S pickets as seen looking east? challenger at left most etc

dude is sneaking around the rock to put up the moon's first V14 on the overhanging side

"they were driven from the city by mobs" yeah the mob has always been in the driving business.

this snaffle has a built in compass

well it better shape up good so fern can steal all my secret projects this weekend

...that's about 5 or 10 times the amount of ice that was on it when it got climbed and rated a 6. and you couldn't sneak in from the side then either. is stuff coming back in from being warm and wet?

what amazing footwork on that first photo! hey mr. e do you mean there is a belay bolt at the bottom on a narrow ledge or something, or a one-bolt anchor at the top

Alan sent me a signed review copy. I have memorized it now, so $300 and its yours.

I have a 1.53 Mb .pdf file detailing the CASBC response to the highway construction project outlining concerns and potential; solutions. it is too big to post as an attachment so PM me your email addy if you want a copy or maybe a nice moderator can attach it Should this go here or in Access Issues?

You're gonna lose the post like cbs contest with prose like that

OK FV crags. Lefebvre Road erratic has some bouldering/TRs. No topo available, probs to V6, anchors on top. Sumas Mtn has some poor quality crags often missing hangars from the bolts. Often muddy. But can be fun. There are 3 diff crags on diff parts of the mountain. One sandstone, one volcanic, one granite. FV north (highway 7) has hatzic prairie, chehalis gorge, chehalis roadside, elbow lake, harrison lake and rockface areas. All cragging with longer routes possible at rockface, harrison and elbow lk. FV south has chilliwack river limestone sport routes, chwk. granite trad and aid routes, and crag routes near hunter creek. Bouldering sites - best are near Hope with the Cobbles, HunterCreek, Lorenzetta road and Lake of the Woods being the most developed. Mike Crapo's guidebook covers Hatzic, Chehalis Roadside and Gorge, and Chwk Limestone. The Harrison Bluffs guide covers Harrison Bluffs. Due to some access issues this place is not too popular at the moment and many climbs have vanished under the moss. A great spot for aid soloing though! There are no guidebooks for any other areas. Just go and poke around. I think there are about 150 crag routes and like 500 boulder probs at the moment... good if you cant drive to Squamish or as a alternative destination. Flashpoint is the best place to meet other FV climbers. I keep meaning to buy a membeship myself. The only prob i have with it is the bouldering terrain isnt very good as compared to the Edge or Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger Coquitlam or Vert Reality Surrey are your other gym options. Both are more of a drive but Cliff Coquit is "cool". Bring an attitude.
