Wed: drove up. Inspected some stuff that wasn't in yet. Climbed Oregon Jack. Fat and much travelled. Lost camera. Drove 100kms to and from spot where camera was lost. Person who found camera refused reward, i have camera again. Jason from Tranquille, Margho wants her Peru Lonely planet back! Beer. New Years. Canucks lose 4-2 to Colorado Thurs: inspected Bridge River canyon with a guidebook author researching his next opus. Found Steristrip M5 in WI4 conditions. I backed off roof move on lead cause I am a chicken. Guidebook author sent. Fri: hiked up long dry hillside to find minimal ice in desired gully. Went to Hell Creek instead. Climbed a couple short WI4 pillars in the right hand gully. Sat: Carl's Berg. Very fat. Berg overflowing onto Mossy Balls. Don sent. Steve sent. I flailed. It was -25C. Brrr! Saw lotsa cool ice in the duffy. Climbing with guidebook author very useful, he can ID things you have wondered about for the last 5 years. Canucks won . Drank a lot of beers Big props to veggiebelay gregW mr e fern don_serl jay_b & partner iceicebaby jja polishbob mike_layton ade alisdair and non-ccommers steve, russ, marcus, nick and aaron for making the new yrs ice trip 2004 such good fun Sunday: still -20C in Lillooet. Frostbite risk with windchill to -32C. Steve and I went to Thompson, Happy Boy pillar not touching down, wandered up Energizer, good fun. The huge hanging drip above Shaw Springs is still just a drip. It is so cold the Fraser River at Agassiz has frozen over from bank to bank. I expect polar bears on my front lawn and penguins in my bathtub. This is so

why would you climb drury falls when you could be climbing unclimbed ice in the fraser canyon

we had a giant snaffle thread back in SEPTEMBER 2003 when this was news

Lillooet: it's pretty much all in, a bit thin. Thompson: everything but Happy Boy and Crucible are up Fraser Canyon: mostly in, Jackass and Sailor Bar are good to go. Saw Water Music and Under The Big Top. Krypto Column looks thin, Riddler has a narrow spot, Mr Freeze good to go. The "super secret" unclimbed American Creek pillar is touching down, ssssh. Hope: its all in. Mousetrap good to go. Jet Lag in, The Cure very thin. Medusa not very fat but all there. Fraser Valley: Seabird Falls, Tailwind, Bridal Falls, White Wedding, Never a Bride all in altho Tailwind is very thin in places. Lots of unclimbed ice coming in around Seabird and Tailwind. Hells Lake Falls by the weigh-station is mixed icicles but not yetr a leadable route. Highway 3: two parties reported on Sumallo Bluffs on Sunday. There is now a log bridge. One maybe-new route done, rope stretching multipitch WI5 that looks like a 3+ from the road but is steeper than it looks.

happy anniversary! have a cigar!

on callisto, the ice is so cold it behaves mechanically like rock. dinner plating! no screws! on europa, the whole thing is brine ice, with a salt content equal to a large fries.

Ok, it was cold enuf to freeze da balls off a brass monkey. cold enough it was better to climb gaper ice in order to not have to stand around belaying. cold enuf pillars spotaneously cracked. cold enough i have 3" of rockies pow pow on my apartment dumpster. can we have 2 months of this please

it was -20C and sunny in Lillooet this weekend
