Sounds like a sweet deal, Do you work banker's hours?

That was written long ago, 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley-folk below...

you mean like a handelbar mustache and a blonde fro-mullet?

Don't you know you can turn off your heating cause it's Alpine Training! In which case, the draftier and colder your crib is, the better.

Thank God it's not a recumbent.

....especially if you have an incestuous jones for your hot cousin

Climb: Bear (not that Bear) Mountain-The 103 Hikes Route Date of Climb: 11/26/2005 Trip Report: Luwayo and I bagged this peak yesterday as part of an impressive alpine training regimen Saw some trippy cloud and lighting effects on da summit The mothership connection...is here There was a Hot-Flashes worthy mixed project on the logging road roadcut on the way up Freshiez commenced with a venegance And on the way down I discovered that some punk-ass local kids had stolen and rolled my car! Gear Notes: Hiking boots, toque, two dogs, Swiss Knight process cheese, trekking pole Approach Notes: Logging road driveable to 6 km but we hiked it to up the vertical gain. No pain, no train. About 1" of snow on the summit at 1100m.

My fingers are hardened from 30,000 posts. I can crimp on razor edges and, Stallone-like, bare hand verglassed slopers now.

Spray is the true alpine training.

Sounds like someone needs a hug... or a CareBear to cry on.

I'll be in Manning monday-wed this week and will report when i get back on Nepopekum, Go wit Da Flow and Sumallo Bluffs ice or lack of same. Assume nothing will be in but ya never know.

Normally there is not climbable ice in Lillooet for a couple of weeks yet. A week of daytime temps in Lillooet at or below 0c usually indicates climbable ice. Less than a week of cold between warm spells means the ice will be unformed. Also, lots of fresh snow will slow ice formation and lots of clear skies will speed ice formation.

You might find something to swing tools at up by Wedgemount Lake or on Blackcomb. If its not buried under 2 meters of freshiez.

there ain't none.

It's closer to home for me in Mission Nov 30, and it runs 3 nights straight in Vancouver Dec 1-3 or 2-4 (I think)

I read this interview where Middendorf said that him and Walt Shipley would drop acid and freesolo in the Valley to prepare for being at high altitude, starving, and hallucinating from fatique on Karakoram alpine big walls... I did try that and free soloing thing once, once was enough.

So did the Screamer rip or not?

"Does your boyfriend climb mountains or just sport routes? Wanna climb a real mountain sometime?"

its on the market for the same reason you can buy solid-gate biners. caveat emptor!

i saw some guy whip off darkness at noon once while belayed by 10 year old son. 10 year old son was leashed to a backpack full of rocks. when the guy fell off both son and backpack ended up at the first bolt. AND the kid was belaying with a GriGri!!!

None... I'm an express and americana fan. When are you coming out to dt night commander? It's a short drive for you... Further proof the Lair is in Boring!

Spinal realignment is gonna do so much for poison ivy. A lobotomy or amputation would be the preferred solution!

whatever sherlock. the probability he missed it cause he was out climbing is slim to none.
