    Lost: My girlfriend

    That Paris Hilton, she's sooooo mean! She did that to me too
  2. has to be something under the helmet worth saving to make it worthwhile to retire it
  3. this makes Bob and his sheep look tame. I figured Robin Tivy had flipped out over it and that was why I couldn't find it on biv
  4. Lyle gives it up to wooden goats
  5. we just spent 5 hrs doing Cdn side approaches and routes and its mostly done Dewdney Creek road and 8 Mile Cr road will be included in the table if you ever wondered why they weren't listed i forgot the ice route! got s face direct on northgraves in though...but I bet it (ice)'ll be in WCI vol 2. although in the CAJ it says the ice route wasnt in so they climbed 800m of powder snow on granite or something silly like that.
  6. calculate how many trips up different gullies you will need to make to investigate them all calculate total cost of transport, food and lodging for those trips now compare to cost of one heliflight and make decision. its probably still cheaper to spend 3 weekends hiking up ice-route-less gullies i betcha

    Now What

    1) Lillooet 2) alpine 2.5) offer bivi space to climbers passing through 3) take a few months and re-duct tape your Carhartts
  8. Just south of Cinnamon Creek on the wrong side of the river...about 1.5km south of the Tube on the other side; obvious deep gully hard to miss.
  9. Ok wait a second here i just confused mixing with mike, with lost boys, FA; same party. Don you're right MwM must be what Lyle has as Duffy's So if the thing left of Tube isn't Straw where are DD and Straw? Maybe you better get a heli flight recon set up.
  10. here's klenke and a friend modelling the new wardrobe

    ropes and slings and cached food
  12. but Mixing with Mike is said to be "hidden in the forest below 3 Ring Circus" IE nowhere near Duffy's Delight or The Tube.... let us not forget that CAJ 96 makes liberal use of the term "gully" to describe things like the bullock/Amelunxen...dripping down an open face. Deep Throat is a gully. Night N Gale is a gully. The B/A is nowhere remotely near being a gully. Also all the distance description for the Darcy road are way off in Chilton's article so why wouldn't the description of how far mIxing with Mike is from lillooet be off too?

    Jay - people aren't routinely eating cattle feed from what I understand. If you think BSE can't survive digestion how is it that the consumption of diseased beef (deer or elk) and CJD are linked? I was just saying that if it was necessary to ingest diseased tissue to contract transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, then it's hard to see how herbivores such as deer would contract the disease unless they became cannibalistic omnivores and started eating each other's nervous tissue, or hopped a fence and ate some infected cattle feed on a nearby ranch. So far as I know, the use of rendered remains in livestock feed was outlawed in 1997, so the continued transmission of the disease in the wild - in the absence of tainted feed - presents a problem unless protein from the dead deer carcases alone serves as a viable means of transmitting the disease, as Murray suggested. When cattle were no longer exposed to feed with rendered remains in it, the incidence of the disease in England declined dramatically, and if transmission is relatively rare between animals that live in constant proximity to one another in a closed space, it stands to reason that transmission between animals in the wild would be at least an order of magnitude or two lower. The disease may be orally transmissible, but if the disease is transmitted by a bare protein via ingestion then that protein would have to overcome all of the hurdles that I outlined above on its journey from the mouth to the brain. There's some evidence to support that conclusion out there, but based on the papers I've seen it's far from conclusive at this point. apparently elk like to rub noses and swap saliva (and eat each others feces) Chronic Wasting Disease is transmitted that way filthy beasts! i thought only humans were supposed too be perverts

    whose barf have you tasted?
  18. You can see Shuksan from Langley and SW Abbotsford too including from the TRans Canada Highway exit 73 to 83 approx....
  19. yeehaw!!! Not to quibble with your interpretation of the notorious Chilton misinformation but wouldn't it make more sense name-wise if The Tube and the Straw were located right next to each other, and Duffy's Delight is that thing down the road high up on the wall facing across to Synchrocirque? (ie if Duffy's Delight was what Lyle's ice map calls Duffy's Delight)

    Lunch of the Day

    i like those veggie meats. i just think of them as flavoured tofu. since i'm an omnivore I can mix n match. i used to shock the hot dog vendor at UBC by asking for a "veggie chili dog- with bacon"
  21. how big was the crack. was it this big or smaller? helmets crack. its how they absorb and dissipate energy. time for a new one and dont forget TR falls on skinny ropes can often be groundfalls!
  22. did you misspell seal as seam? "that's no sample - it's just ice cream!"
  23. didn't you see the link to www.igali.com what is Canadian patriotism? I was hitch hiking through New Zealand and got dropped in Paeroa around 10 PM. It was dark so I figured I'd bivi in the town park for the night. went to get dinner at a little fish n chip shop that was open. Walked in the door and someone said "you have MEC gear. Are you from Canada?". Yes, I was. So they bought me dinner
  24. this guy was a true American patriot
