i read where raptors populations like peregrines and golden eagles have increased to pre-ddt levels, i guess those smart guys who did the study didnt bother to think of increased predation? in canada - the habitat should increase as the glaciers melt! they can eat the corpses of the ice worms....better than nylon j_b do you think the israelis are responsible for this somehow?

tri cams!

"use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without"

it took me almost 15 minutes to find a photo of a skinned sumo wrestler but here it is!

when your body mass drops by more than 1/3 doesnt your skin get all these saggy folds in it like a deflated sumo wrestler???

Timmy - thanks for reminding me - gotta buy a jar of chocolate spread for upcoming heli alpinism expedition Why don't they make Nutella shots in convenient Gu pack style?

one advantage of having the curve in the shaft near the head (like the quark): when climbing moderately steep snow in dagger mode, holding shaft just below head, your knuckles are not in contact with snow and do not get frozen up!

i can see it from my office window - i would say you should be there right now cause the forecast is for rain fri-sun!!!

why teach independent thinking when that might lead to students actually asking unexpected questions of leader instead of blindly obeying?

but, gin has a flavour and vodka doesnt. therefore to obtain the same "flavour volume" it is necessary to use more vermouth with vodka!

in england they also organize mass trespass of outdoor enthusiasts to guarantee public right to freely access countryside - how about organizing one of those for rope up? get a couple hundred people to all park at snow creek th with no parking permit. but no it will never happen cuz big organizations kiss up to deforest service.

you could stab em with a miox pen!

the naked news?

we should resurrect the thread about the guy stopping people on the trail cause his gf was taking a shit around the bend. hey people - go shit off the trail! or Santa Crap will come and shit on your tv-watching sofa cushions!!!

The fire ban was upgraded yesterday to a voluntary ban on entering the backcountry anywhere south of Prince George. How they think I'm gonna spark up a forest fire getting flown in to a glacier I don't really know.

Don't worry they will all come back as soon as you are banned!

Actually, most of the gear is Fixe ring anchors, or the nice ring-chain setups. Also, that is some serious misinformation about the raps being 25m apart (at least in the Bugs) as most are more like 35-50 m apart. The one notable exception to this would be the Kain route on Bugaboo. Actually the NEW stations NOW BEING INSTALLED are 25 m apart. Eg rap from Snowpatch-Pigeon col down to S face of Snowpatch. See new Bugs guide from Elaho. Its a convenience bolting for guides mostly so they only have to carry one rope.

bolt a station, save a snaffle
