Can a Moderator please make this post sticky? Fred Beckey is currently working on revisions and updates for the third volume of the Cascade Alpine Guide Vol III - the red one - Rainy Pass to Fraser River. If you have come across any inaccuracies in the 2nd edition, or have new routes or improved access/route info to contribute, please send details either directly to Fred or post them here (not that Fred is lurking here but the forum makes a convenient place where those contributing can see what others have to say and summarized info will be provided to him).

Outside Magazine [Seattle] event: free food/drink!
Dru replied to Gary_Yngve's topic in Events Forum
If it was targetted at Canadians they would have called it, not the Rainier, but the Robson or something. The best promo would be to get Chad Kellogg and Dan - to go head to head drag racing in one to set the "Rainier speed record". -

no they go on the instep, like, the arch of the boot. i will try my hand at MS paint! see attachment they are an alternative to chopping steps when hiking and trying to cross snow. nothing more. only work when sidestepping.

So there were lotsa ppl up there and im probably the first one to make it home so I get to write the TR and everyone else replies to it Went up Saturday AM with Don and Janez leave Chilliwack 5:15 AM arrive Lillooet 8 AM. Pretty warm and raining in the canyon on the way up. I had hoped to persuade the boys to try a new rt in the Canyon but based on these conditions it would have been so suck. Ate Reynolds (brown, scrambled, sausage ) then went about 10kms up the bridge and we climbed this very long gully with a series of hidden steps above the Xwisten reserve (this is about half-way to Jade Falls on the north side of the rd.) Don and I had tried this last week but the first step was too thin then. Now it was fat and wet. There were about 3 belayed pitches in the gully all of which were soaking wet shower baths and I was glad not to lead any of them but accept the speed TR and stay only soaked instead of fully inundated. On the 3rd lead Janez had water running in at his neck & wrists and dripping out of his pants after filling up his plastic boots Anyways there were about 3 belayed pitches (3+ 4 4) and lots of rambling and Wi2 and unfrozen gully bed as well and the elevation gain is like 600-800m or something... long walk off and back to the car well after dark. Lotsa ppl in town Saturday night and it was not too much of a party scene. we went namedropping in Dinas where the talk of the night is that Jia and Chris G are working The Theft as a mixed route, have it half-bolted and had to fix ropes go back to Whistler to get more bolts Then in the Vic some local woman tried to pick up Don with an unusual technique.... if I recall rightly she said "I only drink beer when I'm pregnant" Today Don and Janez went off for more guidebook research in the Duffy and I got a ride with Fern and Kellie. We snooped around in the Fraser and Thompson finding it was much wetter and warmer in the Fraser than the Thompson. Ended up climbing After The Gold Rush again. First pitch was wet second pitch was still nice and icy. i found another dozen geodes or so, the last curtain starts right in a bed of them. Bring a rock hammer Mysteriously enough Polish Bob showed up on Saturday night or at least his car did but several cars received the calling card (attached) even before he arrived??

eating snow to melt it is is demonstrably more efficient than putting snow in your empty nalgene and attempting to melt it through body heat. if melting snow in a nalgene under your armpit doesnt dehydrate you (it doesn't) then eating snow won't either. simple thermodynamics. this "you have to use water to make water" speculation is nothing but piffle manufactured in an attempt to justify an erroneous urban myth/old wives tale. i am telling you you are wrong. try and find some solid data to back up your speculation if you honestly think you aren't. but i will tell you now you are barking up the wrong tree. in the absence of a source of liquid water - best thing the guy (or anyone lost) could have done was eat snow. as long as it wasn't yellow...
