is that layton on the right???!!!

sexy cocoa is back -----> let the moondancing begin

i believe i read somewhere in a CAJ that the 3+ near Death Picnic was climbed about 4 or 5 years ago

shit man, a cheetah is a cougar that is old enough she's got spots

i am familar with all of your mothers

i'm a streetwalkin cheetah with a heart full of napalm

weeping wall was my first official 4 and on the crux i wanted to back off but i was scared my screw would rip if i weighted it the ice was so thin, so i kept climbing drag the magic puffin, at the cheakamus gorge, was something i couldn't even TR successfully when i first rried it but i got motivated by seeing the holds and envisioning from the other side of the gully while belaying my friend carl on HIS too-hard project so i scrubbed and worked and bolted and gear-placed and finally SENT with a belay and some encouragement from Snoboy and it is still my hardest technical rock lead

i guess hazards on the route include 10 degree camera tilt Josh - the best non technical trip I did in New Zealand was a hike up to Mt Owen near Buller Gorge on South Island. huge karst limestone plateau. beautiful place. it's also apparently the exit from the mines of moria The North island volcanoes and also the Tongariro Northern Crossing are non tech and has hot springs and geysers. The Linda is mostly a hike but involves about 7 pitches of 45 degree ice and rock and going to the real summit (not the "guides summit") involves a 10m vertical ice wall. there are seracs threatening much of the route not just the gunbarrels. when we came down around 2 PM there were 4 icefalls across our tracks from the morning..... its very worth it to fly in to Plateau Hut. costs about $100 per person NZ$ IIRC. one interesting statistic is that something like 1 in 3 parties that takes the slog route in or out gets injured in some way. I walked out solo when partner flew out, to save $$$, and survived with just a destroyed plastic boot and was lucky to not also have a destroyed foot.

gore tex is so 90s.

i thought you were trying to remind me to send pic of unclimbed objective summer 2004 i cant find the cd its on

The New Zealand ethics are for a land where 90% of the land is PRIVATELY OWNED. Are the same ethics appropriate for a place like Bc where 90% of the land is public? And no landowner is going to complain and shut down access if I say "This fucking route sucks!" loudly or name my route "MATTP AND POPE's OFFENSIVE GAY LOVE CHILD" 5.4 18 bolts 18 meters

I found a rotting cow head and spinal column at the side of the logging road today Pix to come [in super large wreck the formatting glory ]

a friend of mine trekking alone on the annapurna circuit was robbed and murdered in 1996. and he was of iranian ancestry so i dont think they were targetting stereotypical whitey either but would rob anybody rich looking. i would suggest doing some checking for recent incidents of this type before solo trekking through the area.

One time at the film fest I told Bubba I knew he was ripping off Bukowski and he had the grace to admit it.
