well necro, since it snowed yesterday, of course there wasn't much on sunday josh i see the whole nf of the summit pyramid from chilliwack, and i can see the whole damn west side of the mt from abbotsford looking up the nuttsack river valley.

sneak across the border from bc to get into the pasayatens

wearing a cowboy hat or cowboy boots in anywhere west of the mountains is about semantically equal to a man wearing a dress. just another dressup in drag thing. just shouts out POSER

even worse, he calls sills dykes, when they are nowhere near vertical. THE HORROR

fraser valley is awaiting your arrival, you can try Nate Woods' latest V12's and spot me on some V1

hey!! this one http://www.osphoto.com/wcan6.htm is from where Kurt and I were camped at Queen Bess!

most of my seam antics involve heads and beaks

more censoriousness "MF" Overhang at Castle Rock. We all know what MF stands for. Same phrase occurs in "It Aint Over Motherfuckers" "Fuckityfuckfuck" a desperate overhanging route in New Zealand was abridged to F***F***F*** in the guidebook. Bc Parks doesn't see any need to censor at Squamish. They post notices saying the Black Dyke and Negro Lesbian are closed to climbing every spring. Then again, we will see what happens at Skaha with regard to "Screw BC Parks": at Little White Wall ? Hey Peter Puget which Smith route originally dissed John Bachar? Is it the one now known as Wedding Day?

pie

its a damn good thing you noted that some people hate licorice

marshmallow man do you have harness or car yet

they charge you xtra cause they have to wash the glasses

not in canada... by a long shot.... euro cams are so much cheaper than bd.

i went to a wedding, got drunk, climbed two routes on top rope the next day, went fowr a hike in the woods, and found two unclimbed crack lines which may provide a winters scrubbing fun if i can find someone who wants to help out with tree slaughter.

there must be a couple of inches of freshiez on it right now cause the whole summit pyramid as seen from abbotsford is white right now. if i had my digital here i'd post a picture.

Jason and I agreed a long time ago that the route names in our guidebook(s) would remain named as the first ascentionists chose. I'm a closet Vulgarian myself, and like spicy, witty, or downright vulgar route names. Things like "Wetter than Your Wife" and "Harder than Your Husband" are certainly more interesting reading than "The Smith/Doe Route". Mountaineers Books has graciously left the original names as is in our book too. Alex Yes it is unfortunate that Wetter Than Your Wife was changed to Green Gully by Bill March. As for peak names changed: several features officially named Chinaman or ...men were changed by the federal government. Supposedly they changed all the things named Squaw too but i see Two Squaws Mountain is still officially listed as Two Squaws on the website Dildo, Newfoundland is still named Dildo though.

We gotz freshiez down to 1400m on the local mountains here in Chilliwack, winter capital of BC

It's NEVER time for a snowshoe slog... snowshoes SUCK! i managed to beat serl and fishstick to nepopekum falls a few years back - me on sno-shoes, fishstick on skis and serl postholing - its all about conditions and sometimes shoes are best means for conditions

since you seem to not understand the semantics, "niggardly" is an adjectival form of "niggard" which is derived from the Middle English, ultimately from Old Norse or thereabouts. variants include nitheling, nidderhead, etc. a cheap, mean, worthless person. nothing to do with skin color as opposed to various epithets derived from the latin negro, black, as in Gato Negro, route on Silver Star. the fact that the word niggard sounds like another word you are geting all worked up about, is a coincidence, nothing more. the fact your upset is so misplaced is what is funny and what makes you look foolish. perhaps some properly directed angst would be less amusing than your current earnest but misplaced angst. if you like I can also research and discuss how the phrase "chink" meaning crack or narrow opening, has nothing to do with a racial epithet spelled in the same manner and applied to chinese persons.

poor jason

Spire, Peak... horsecock, salami... did he tell ya about the 25 year old Whistler girl he's going to Kalymnos for the winter with

i have a fond affectation for the white scrubbed streaks i have created over the years but the reality is as time passes they generally seem to fade back to gray then again you have like the west face of NEWS with the infamously referred to "rabbit trail" which i don't believe was ever wirebrushed but then again maybe it was? alpine lichens grow slower, anyhow

As Caveman said, those of us who feel some sense of responsibility will not use this kind of language. And those of us who have a reputation to uphold will not use this language either. I truly do find this type of hate language offensive. And the reality is that those people who use this language around the generally liberal climbing community will find themselves ostracized. The result is that a responsible guidebook author will not write this type of language in his or her book and will certainly not put in some sort of appendix with the original names. You just won' t find this in mainstream american guidebooks... And I am thankful for this. Jason jason - maybe you should look it up in a dictionary before you label the word "niggardly" as "hate speech" smart guy i believe you are in for a surprise

we all know about your copulating deficiency all talk = no action

Stalin was demonstrably counterrevolutionary. Witness how he offed all the real revolutionaries.
