In a mag c. 1993 are shown 2 of Wash's finest hardmen boldly wearing burgundy fleece and other dated garments up the "first ascent of Pangaea 12a" on Liberty Bell group. never heard from again, where is this route? the pic is an ad for MSR's soon-dropped clothing line or something like that.

hiking sucks and climbing doesn't, end of thread

meanwhile back on the highways topic: Thurs March 13 Avalanche danger closing more roads VANCOUVER (CBC) - The weather is wreaking havoc on travel in the mountains of southeastern B.C. because of avalanches and threat of more slides. The Trans-Canada Highway remains closed by avalanches at two spots – 50 kilometres east of Revelstoke and between Golden and Lake Louise. Highway 93 to Radium Hot Springs is also closed because of the extreme avalanche hazard, as are Highways 31 through Galena Pass and Highway 23 north of Revelstoke as well as Toby Creek Road at Invermere. Meanwhile, Highway 3 through the Kootenay Pass has been re-opened after an eight-hour closure. Two separate avalanches near Revelstoke claimed the lives of 14 skiers in late January and early February. good luck getting ANYWHERE from Golden right now!! youre trapped!

take LOTS of books and booze then.

Uncomfortable skiers force name change for Wyo. mountain Mary's Nipple ALTA, Wyo. (AP) - Pressure from uncomfortable skiers and other tourists has prompted the Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort to cover the second half of the name of one of its mountains. Mary's Nipple is now just Mary's, and signs with the word "nipple" have been covered with tape. New signs were to arrive in about two weeks. But the covered signs have rankled some local skiers, who feel a bit of their history has been lost. "If the name changed, it wouldn't be the same," said Mark Franklin of Driggs, Idaho, who has skied the mountain for 26 years without feeling offended. "It's always been Mary's Nipple to me, and probably 99.9 per cent of the people around here will agree with me." The name dates back three decades to a story about a waitress named Mary, who was working at Targhee's Trap Bar and streaked through it and the resort one night. The U.S. Forest Service has never acknowledged it officially.

got France?

i havent climbed lib crack yet still training for a leashless ascent

rain on snow never happens over the whole of the fraser basin at once, so the increases in flow dont peak at the same time, leading to no flood. but the whole basin warms up in the spring causing spring freshet rain on snow is most important in basins about the size of the squamish or chilliwack rivers (~100km square order of mag.), and in drainages with lots of area between 300m-800m elevation. above 800m its stays snowy or melts slowly, below 300m its rain but hey why talk work??

someone pissed on me from 2 pitches higher while on space shot we rapped off in a thunderstorm broke into their pickup canopy and drank their beers as punishment

mmmmm cows

i thought it was like bouldering cause it over so fast

its almost like a margarita only it lacks salt!!

fraser will never peak before mid may at earliest. usually start of june. this rain right now is diminishing the spring flood threat by moving water now instead of later. a heat wave in the first week of june, after a cloudy, cool spring is the prime flood condition. the only dam or control on the whole fraser system, is the nechako diversion to ootsa lake. which is on a tributary, not the main river, if you dont know your bc geography.

Please tell me this is the name of a drink and not actually a milkshake made with tequila, cause that sounds really sick! yup ice cream, orange juice, milk, blueberries, tequila, blend for 2 minutes on high speed, drink immediately with straw.

If all you patriots are throwing away your Charlet Moser and Petzl equipment due to France being opposed to US illegal war plans against Iraq, I will accept it from you. Of course you are too patriotic to accept money for it. PM me for my mailing address.

i foresee gear reps will abuse the new system to lie about their products. in this setup its easy to call bullshit and they dont bother.

isn't the charlet snowalker lighter and stronger and with a steel head.... oh wait they make it in france....

go France, stand up to those arrogant Yankees!

i deployed the sick sack in the helicopter once flying around the chehalis in the winter. it was mostly liquid...

i won the 'porcelain busdriver" award once for an experience with a whole bottle of red wine as a matter offact every drinking binge ive ended up puking from has been red wine except the first hangover of my life, at 16 which was tequila milkshakes

also, your backcountry is lower, warmer and wetter than much of our backcountry. hence more stable? ive been trying to figure outr for much of the winter if the baker area forecast is more accurate than the south coast forecast for the chilliwack valley area. but baker forecast tends to track pretty closely to the Bc "below and at treeline" forecast hazard rating, the times i have checked it.

well hell, if it aint any of those, it MUST be Mt Si!!!

this thread is sick put it out of its misery acme thread and troll killer
