  1. Hey, wiseguy, Master Beta said 7 inches, not cm's. And anyway, he seems trustworthy on matters of chippage. Who d'you suppose it is, anyway? He sounds like John Sherman, or maybe Matt Samet writing like John Sherman. Fool needs to drop the third person business, as DFA has been slingin' that slop for years. And did you hear? R&I is bringing in this Dr. Piton character, who apparently sprays in other corners of the internet. Fake-ass crabs! ah but master beta is misquoting a profile of Fred which originally appeared in On The Edge Magazine and the stat in that was +7 cm... the articlewhich featured the infamous posed shot of him bouldering out the roof of akira with the ladder on the ground he had used to get himself into pose position cause he cant actually link any of the moves anymore...
  2. rouhlings other routes are customized drill jobs but Akira is all natural** save for glue reinforced flakes. You know, just like Smith, or the sport temple at Cheakamus, except they fell off anyways there. ** Or so says everyone who has ever seen or photographed it. You dont actually believe anything you read in master Beta do you? BUSTED!! Sucker fell for it Oh yeah lets not forget metric system: Rouhlings ape index is +7cm (=+2.5 inches) not +7 inches.

    If inspections show Saddam has disarmed and there is no war, will Saddam have got off "french free?"
  6. I believe I hard that the FDA is moving towards banning all products containing Ma Huang/Ephedra as there have been so many deaths from them. Not sure if that applies to this Agent Orange stuff or not?

    a spork, is a spoon with stubby fork teeth a foon is a useless implement, its a spoon with deep notches in it that the soup drains out of before you get it to your lips... Foon is also a whistler extreme skiier.
  9. I thought MOAB was deployed from an overpriced bar with weak beer over some slickrock to an endless wall of splitter cracks.

    Somebody's got to hire the people who flunk out of industrial design school.
  14. I guess the route I was thinking was EDMB is the 1978 route on E/NE face of Middle Pk.
  15. I used brown rice...... I know......
  16. good TR and it works the same going into USA too. I like TRs like this more than those 1 line: "we climed Death Root X in 17.643456 hours car to car with only 1 case of frostbite and ate 3.765 Gu each per hour" ones if you get really assymmetric crampons then it gets harder to put them on the wrong feet. and if you have symmetric ones it doesnt matter much except the strap buckle is on wrong side of your ankle.
  17. Snibble Tower? No way what next? Smith Summit East Face? Vulture Ridge?? Was Muffy with you guys or not.? I want a full Tufftuff TR!
  18. Climbing a 30 m route rope-solo with a rack of 70 pieces, drill and bolts is character building. Come out to Chilliwack some time and we can tag team some unclimbed cracks out by Hope.
  19. i heard it has a glued on hold so.... really it sounds kind of contrived. a long boulder problem to a rest, get the rope thrown to you, clip it into your harness, then climb a 13c. if you did a boulder traverse around Monkey Face from the base of the NW face to Just Do It, got a no hands rest, and then Just Did it would that suddenly be 15d??? the new E10 7b in England sounds like its the same type of silly. do a boulder problem , pick up the rack and harness you left on the ledge, put them on, then climb a gear protected boulder problem (6 moves) off the ledge to the top both are super contrived whereas, La Rambla extension or Realization, are actual, start at the bottom, go to the top, no ledges, no contrived boulder starts, ROUTES. and seeing as how it was Huber that put up La Rambla i doubt its chipped either!
  20. hee hee!
  21. what looks better, the dropped biner, or the biner currently on the business end of your funkness?
  22. send it back to the factory and tell em you want to warranty it for a new one.
  23. you gotta wonder just what it is that trask bears?
  24. bear can eat, 5 week old rotten meat, in fact prefers it to fresh, i dont think hot dogs are gonna be any worse than that!
  25. Kananaskis: Backcountry Avalanche Report Report valid: March 10, 2003 until further notice This report is for backcountry terrain only. Skiing conditions for facility areas are not included in this report. For current trail conditions please see our Trail Reports. Avalanche danger scale Alpine Considerable Treeline Considerable Below Treeline Moderate Discussion: A strong southwesterly flow has been established and temperatures have moderated but with the warmth comes the wind. Extreme winds with gusts well in excess of 100 km/h along ridgetops are being observed. Intense wind transport of snow onto lee aspects is occurring. Cornice formation is enhanced with the wind and loose snow available for transport. Avalanche Danger on north and east aspects at and above treeline will trend towards HIGH as surface windslabs form. The storm snow from last week and the new slabs will add additional load to the weak base of depth hoar and facets that persists through the area. The November crust has deteriorated signifigantly over much of the area but it is still a factor to consider and full depth releases remain likely. In sheltered areas at and below treeline, buried surface hoar layers from January and February can be found and they remain reactive to tests. Only snow flurries are expected over the next few days but daytime temperatures may exceed the freezing level so watch for the influences of heating on sun exposed aspects. Give careful consideration to large slopes above that may threaten your intended travel routes. Backcountry Travel Conditions: Good to excellent skiing can still be found on sheltered aspects. Travel conditions vary depending upon the presence of windloaded snow in upper elevation areas but below treeline travel conditions are still tough due to the weak base and the likelihood of full depth ski penetrations. Important Notice: Snowpack structure and stability information is determined from field analysis specific to snow study plot sites. Snowpack structure and stability will vary as you travel throughout mountainous terrain. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the backcountry traveller to be self-sufficient in being able to perform self-rescue should you, the traveller, be involved in an accident. Also, backcountry travellers are responsible for obtaining their own information concerning current weather conditions, snow, winds, snowfall, etc. and are responsible for educating themselves to the best possible awareness level. .................................................................................................... i heard moonlight is in fat again after melting out a while back though.
