what about these goat wall routes in mazama? they are all bolts?

there are no fully bolted crag routes in the alpine in bc.... even yak is a gear route except for the crux pitch of reality check. however stairway to heaven on the chief is a 16 pitch 10b sport rig, albeit with ledge walks between some of the pitches.

probably 75% of clips with quickdraws when cragging, and 25% when alpine climbing.... and about 5% directly into the cam sling in both situations

I figure someone came back from walking their dogs and got the bags mixed up.

Some Calgary-area kids get unpleasant Hallowe'en 'treat' CALGARY (CBC) - Children who went trick or treating in the Strathmore-Strathford area Monday night are being asked to check their goody bags, after reports that some ghosts and goblins were given a small bag of feces. RCMP Const. Doug Taylor says a number of parents have called to complain about the trick their youngsters received. "Unfortunately, the kids didn't notice at the time, so we're not sure which house was giving it out," Taylor said. "We don't really consider it a prank, because there is some health issues here, with throwing this in with food children are potentially going to eat." He says it's up to parents whether they discard all the candy their children collected. Taylor says the feces was in plastic bags. Anyone with information is asked to call the Strathmore RCMP or Crime Stoppers. "Mom, there's corn in my chocolate bar!"

What about those scary climbers who clip right into the biner on the cam sling? OMFG revoke their Mountaineers Leader Qualifications and send them back to Scrambling Class!

You can tell Nomics are primarily intended for ice cause it sounds like "no-mixed"

Old Man Marries a Young Woman After marrying a young woman, a 90-year-old man told his doctor that they were expecting a baby. "Let me tell you a story," said the doctor. "An absent-minded fellow went hunting, but instead of a gun, he brought an umbrella. Suddenly a bear charged at him. Pointing his umbrella at the bear, he shot and killed it on the spot." "Impossible!" the geezer exclaimed. "Somebody else must have shot that bear." "Exactly," replied the doctor.

"Striking detached thoughts" sez it all

It turned out he was the father of l0ngpause's drunken baby. Mike got mad (jealous). Tune in next week as the saga continues1

Wall Fiction.

In Beckey guide there is also one on Mount Temple Ridge somewhere east of Prussik...

My downstairs neighbour is a 4x4er, he was saying they have a loop circuit set up near Bridal Falls that requires 8 hours to drive (and winch) 3 km. I can hike it faster than that.

There are a couple of them at Peshastin!

You aren't going to find any Grade III or Grade IV routes at Smith.

Well since he led all the pitches that be definition is an "all male free ascent". Do you mean an "all male team free ascent"?

I'll come along on Big Silver to Nahatlatch! Did you buy a Unimog?

and kayakable puddles with glutinous mud

Other than alder: rockfall treefall crossditches fully deactivated road prisms landslides washouts broken glass dead cows grow ops meth labs locked gates sharp rocks and other tire hazards tank traps!

Anything that's recently been deactivated or is all washed out and sucky - like the Shannon Creek road or Chehalis road or American Creek. Harrison west is cruisey but its sooo long.... if that ones too easy do the Big Silver to Kookipi and out Nahatlatch.

If you can layer them one pair over another then as long as the holes don't match up you should be fine

Harrison to Pemberton is sooo long but not so bad. The worst ones are 30 year old alder with landslides.
