See West Coast Ice p. whatever it aint no secret you can see it from Highway 1

TiO2, so if you smear it on your face, does that act as sunscreen

hooks ARE beginner aid at squamish!! or else you arent gonna get very far on that first pitch of Kanabis Wall!! Stefan, forget the TR set up, learn the real aid solo technique on a 2 clove hitch self belay. Then when your piece blows you actually fall, so you learn to place good pieces FAST.

rally driving getting high centred with all 4 wheels spinning and spending 3 hours digging your vehicle out with two ice axes, a shovel, and a comealong

yes, i must have developed a karma deficit, since end of january, the suck trip to good trip ratio is like 2:1

Hope - buried under snow. Looked wet. Superheroes Cirque - thin WI6 & wet mixed for super heroes only Jackass - open wetness. But a neat skinny dagger/pillar next to it has formed! Kanaka Column - gushing at the top Crucible - heavily flowing Goldpan - Energizer looked in. Happy Boy did not. Spences Bridge - the main flow was open & wet, but a neat hanging dagger almost touching down on the right wall Unclimbed ice you can see in Kwoiek Creek looked gray... in?? Where is the Unimog anyhow.

24 red bull should be good for what, 6.5 routes at smiff rocks!

This is the worst TR ever posted on cascade climbers. com Drove to Cache Creek Realized in Yale I had forgot my bibs - OK I will climb in Carhartts Realized in Cache Creek I had forgot both ropes Fern had a rope - 60X9mm I didnt want to lead Oregon Jacxk, or at Marble, on a single 9mm We went to explore canyons on the Thompson River. Hiked for half an hour Nice canyon but no ice. Drove home. Now I am

no no, dont say that!!! spectators demand a brawl! bread and circuses

dude, i would not TRY, i WOULD kick your 6'6" ass for dry tooling established routes! it is only lazy to do so, when up in Cheakamus Canyon, are hundreds, nay thousands, of bluffs covered in edges, snow, and frozen moss and dirt, perfect for practicing on, and with convenient TR anchors and nary an established route or you can have a go at the Chipit on Kakodemon Rock. it is 11b which means M6+ as a dry tool route no ice on it look for the line of jack hammered out bowling ball type pockets on the uphill side of Kakodemon Rock. since you wont find many lines of chipped pockets out there on real mixed routes it is just strength training and you d be better off taping the heads of your tools and playing dry tool in the gym.

i wonder if they give out volume contributions like they do for blood donors - ya know, so many pints per year.... the Golden Sprayer they could call it!

ya, but women only get an egg once a month, whereas you can donate sperm 5x a day!

in the morning, high alpine camp, you can't stand oatmeal, have some ramen! chop chunks of into it for more mmmmm goodness or you can make rice pud. boilf milk powder, rice, water, and raisins until gluey. choke it down. high in sugar & carb, use whole milk pow for more fat & protein.

its not real cream either. i think its white colored palm kernel oil with sucrose added. sort of like, sweetened, liquid margarine

2" on the ground in da Wack. coming down wet off and on all day.

shotgun? you're right. i thought it was some sort of caddis fly type insect until i looked closer!!!! "never mind the dog, beware of owner"

the moral of the story is dont use the Bacwardo!!!!

Edelrid is just as good as Mammut. Dude those things are durable. I had an 11mx50m that was 12 years old and I still trusted for cleaning, rapping, TRing, jugging and fixing, and aid self belays. But I deecided to get rid of it so i gave it to my dad and he wrecked it using it to cut trees down. The most junk ropes, are Maxim. I had one that lasted less than 2 yrs but i used it for 6 anyways cause i was cheap . had to keep cutting off bits of the sheath cause it stretched way more than the core did.

dooood cold=ice

French toasts. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Or latkes. Dwayner got latkes recipies??

retrosaurus did sport climbing sounds like you sent!

How about a journalistic type look at claimed speed records on Rainier

to the tune of "Little Miss Muffet" Little S. Hussein Sat in his muzzein Gassing his Kurds away Along came al Qaeda And they sat down with ciders And said "God damn that American spray"

chucK would you have felt any different if instead of "a middle aged etc." specialEd had written "a wicked witch?" cause everyone knows that wicked, child eating witches do not exist right so it wouldf have been more obviously, a joke situation, and not a potential threat to your child, you had to deal with. FWIW when I read it I thought "specialEd gonna get himself banned just like Polish Bob"
