What about the Eve Dearborn Memorial?

how about installing a chairlift

Second picture looks more like Oscar Wilde than Stoppard?

Squamish is a spring and fall destination...it is primo alpine climbing season right now.

Now now, I must have made over 100 posts from various Internet coffeee houses, libraries, and Valhalla-Pure in Squamish

This is my 6000th post on this stupid board On this momentous occasion I would like to give shout outs to Jon & Tim for creating this amusing way of wasting time, finding climbing partners and perhaps even discussing climbing a bit. You guys Rock

Try a post on the www.live-the-vision.com bulletin board those Canmorons get over to the Bugs more than we do. Or there was also a recent Bugs Tr on rec.climbing (use Google groups to find it) Or call up the ACC and ask someone at the National Clubhouse, they talk to Kain hut on the radio every day and so will know conditions.

How come the Scottish, Welsh and Irish are the only ones the wimpy, pasty faced, offal gobbling, Marks & Spencer shopping, Princess Di fetishizing English have managed to oppress???? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

The Reps. have more practice at it, but the Dems. are making great strides. Actually, I thought I was demonstrating the hypocricy of the left. Whenever you remind them of comparable Democrat/environmentalist/left wing transgressions they seem to want to "move on" rather quickly to another subject. I'll grant that choices are limited in a two party system, but I'll take that system over that of some countries politics where a dozen candidates run for office and the winner is the one who got 15 or 16 percent of the vote.......thereby leaving over 80% of the population really pissed off! or you could have a proportional representation system instead of a first-past-the-post sysatm giving the largest minority block all the power or you could realize that party politics are the greatest deterrent to democracy in Western societies today, and we should ditch the whole concept...except that it works so well for moneyed interests to funnel funds to whoever is in power...

naw lets just start talking about horsecock and snaflehounds that should do it

theyve already made gecko like pads that humans can use to climb plate glass. only problem is they are only rated to 500 lbs, that's like 2.5 kN, less than an RP....not UIAA approved.

Rocky Mountain Books makes huge guidebooks much cheaper than Elaho Publishing guidebooks cause they print em in Singapore not Winnipeg. So a McLane guide costs $40 and a RM Books $25 for the same amount of detail and same # of routes. Thats already saving you $ for

quote: Originally posted by MtnGoat: "cooperative can outcompete corporation - look at MEC in Canada dominating outdoor retail market..." Great point!. They still have the structure of a buisness, after all, right? The key to me is MEC is a *voluntary* cooperative, using it's strengths to compete in a free market against others with differing techniques and aims. MEC is a great biz, and does great service with good prices. There's a place for all buisness models, let the consumer decide! It may be cooperative models win out in many areas, and if that's the case that's how it goes. No one has a corner on how a buisness should be run, after all! There is one important difference - they are non profit. No shareholders creaming $$$ off the top and hence no Enron/WorldCom/Martha shady dealings with shares or whatever.

Here is a cheap idea for a crampon bag Make yourself some cutoffs from old ripped up jeans Take one of the cutoff legs Close one end of the tube with a big rubber band like off a broccoli Put crampons in other end and fold over extra denim... mattp - even if you put your poons facing each other, the frontpoints on the end can cut stuff if you dont put them in a bag.

Since Great Britian banned handguns, armed crimes involving guns has risen 40%; this is also the case in Australia. Similar examples exist other places. This is an interesting statistic. But even if this is true, I wouldn't assume that the ban on handguns CAUSED an increase in those crimes. Maybe, maybe not. Personally, I'd prefer it if I didn't think that every other guy I flipped off in traffic was packing a concealed weapon. Knowledge of an unarmed populace has emboldened criminals. If you are interested I can provide you with data. Armed home invasion went on the rise after Canada banned/restricted handguns, as well. Criminals will always get guns because they do not operate within the law. Mattp, don't worry; you can flip me off, I won't shoot you Greg W Not true. Violent crime has consistently decreased in Canada since the late 1980's. Many of the "armed home invasions" you relate are Hells Angels ripping off Vietnamese triad grow ops, anyways Sure bet that is affected by gun ownership laws.

absolute freedom for individuals tends to diminish the freedom of others. if you are my neighbour and think you have a right to play your stereo as loud as you want, it takes away from my right to enjoy a quiet evening on the patio. if the only way I can enjoy this "freedom" is to play my own stereo twice as loud, then our mutual neighbours suffer twice as much. if you have a right to smoke in public places, i have to take the cancer risk if i visit those same public places even if i don't smoke. [there was a long winded filosofikl rant here but i just deleted it cauz it 4:20 ] incidentally, where did you find the statistic about handgun crime increasing in Australia and Britain? i have seen nothing similar quoted anywhere. you aren't giving me the NRA party line, are you?

11.... i'll wait for everyone to be at pube club to sneak in and post the big 6000
