A bugaboo is just a long knifeblade, ray (or anyone else wondering but scared to ask). I think they were called that cause when Yosemite climbers went to the Bugs for the first time they realized the cracks tended to be deeper (alpine freeze thaw & all) so they could get a longer blade into a knifeblade crack than they could in the Valley? Anyone know the truth of this?
Bugabbos also make good eating utensils and hotknives, aside from climbing pro.
I have been asked by Kelly Cordes to be a regional correspondant for the AAJ and to write a short report on activity in the Coast mts over the past year. I would prefer to limit my report to the South Coast area on the assumption there are others much better qualified to discuss what went on further north in the main part of the Range.
Attached please find a file listing all the new routes and (loosely defined) significant repeats I'm aware of for the South Coast over 2002 extending into the first weeks of 2003. I have also noted what activity I'm aware of from outside the south Coast area, but recognize that the latter list is seriously incomplete.
If you have corrections or additions to the list, please let me know ASAP via post here or PM. Thanks.
Missing from this list is any description of long new routes/FFAs on the Chief and in the Eldred Valley.arguably these could and should be included but maybe not by me.

The crux of crossing the Atlantic is gonna be fighting of fthe giant squid. I hear they plucked the crew off a sailboat near Indonesia earlier this week and shucked em like ears of corn!!!
Wasn't that author Robert Cordery-Cotter aka "Little Bobby Onsight" recently voted worst writer ever to have an article appear in the Canadian Alpine Journal, and butt of many route names in the Canadian Rockies, and writer of a 15 page chest beating epic in the Canmore Clubhouse climbing logbook in which he bravely proclaimed Sea Of Vapours in WI5+ shape to be "a bold and difficult 7"??????????
John Le Carre, former spy and best selling author, called Bush Jr. a greedy warmonger and his cabinet a junta yesterday. Whos gonna be next. Steven King? Tom clancy? I can just see it " You, sir, are no Jack Ryan."
