back in the day of the 85 cent dollar it made it possible to buy cheap cheese. you dont think they built bellis fair for American shoppers do you?

The link doesn't seem to work.

December? ice starts usually in october/ november. this year people were swinging tools by first week of october. no crowds, no snow and the roads are open- 20 minutes to whiteman, 1hr to stanley glacier headwall yes, and if you take a jet to new zealand you can climb Heart of Gold (10 pitches WI5) in June!!

i guess you guys aren't asking where the 1 nut placement is on the otherwise bolted 12a "Fire Wire" at Skaha huh?

spend the $75 and buy em. our country is much bigger than yours and someone had to survey it all. why should you get the benefit of their taxpayer subsidized work for free

check www.live-the-vision.com for local Rockies info latest postings there have referred to "slush" and "upper pitches are fat blue ice but lower pitches no longer there" and "this route was excellent plastic ice despite the warm rain"

Skaha is to Squamish as Vantage is to Index, or something like that. Except the rock at Skaha is bomber and there is a city of 40, 000 nearby instead of a post-apocalyptic desert full of drunken mullets.

Ice Climbing Season is over. Give up. Its alpine or rock climbing till next December. And about time too!

tell those penguins you are just ice cream.

Skaha rocked bolt clippin crack jammin hot tubbin fun. lots of friendly faces seen getting back on rock after various winterized pursuits. Saturday it snowed a couple of flakes Today was mostly sunny and warm Fern and me did about 23 person-pitches* all told. * This figure used to sound more impressive than:11 pitches and I did one twice cause I couldn't get it on lead so I TRed it afterwards One dishtowel on fire NO TICKS!!!! Red Wine Mountain sheep sightings. Flock of ravens. Sundog. Clarks Nutcracker stuffing baby birds full of bugs. Good times.

Keas are like winged snafflehounds. They think its funny, to fly above you 5 pitches up a 10 pitch face, and drop 1 lb. stones onto your helmet.

im the only one on the list without a gun

it took me 3 attempts over 2 years to climb Prussik Pk. i think that is the only summit it has ever taken me 3 shots to get at. although, so far i am 0/2 on Canadian Border. if you can call turning around on the logging road at 9 in the morning, an "attempt"

skaha crimpin & pimpin bolt clippin

I found out what her sign really said before Trask edited it. Here is the picture.

Its not snowing at Skaha

I bet some whiner is gonna complain.

yeah moresoupial mountaineering rox its fully alpine up there you might even see a snafflehound somewhere

long arms...big forearms... you must eat spinach too

the little red book says the 5.8 next to Teddy Bears Picnic is 10a too......

hey that chic knows whats going on! thats a lot better sign than some bumper sticker pasted on a SUV.

someone got called racist for saying that!!! anyways did you notice that the room in the Hotel Metropol where the SARS Patient Zero stayed and infected everyone, was Room 911. Its "Gulf War II" sickness.

allison who says we want you in Canada we already have enough black clad pseudo artsy types clamouring for grants i say the Canadians should have first crack at them also our smokes are more expensive and so is our red wine
