Drul I believe the correct term would be sent, ie the north face of Shuksan was "sent" in 1923. That way everyone from the climbing gyms will understand. But was it an onsight, flash, redpoint or pinkpoint, and if you use another parties' kicked steps does that count as aid? Also were there leashes on their ice axes?

Late July was a great time to do the north face of the Owls last year (see p. 216 Alpine Select)

Does that mean the white stuff on it is alpomayonnaise?

The North Face of Shuksan was "put up" in 1923. Who taught you climber slang, stranger?

Don at least 3 or 4 separate people have reported to me that the rock was loose and rubble maybe they were just looking from the east ridge or they were backing off on the 2nd pitch I don't know. Maybe they were just running a disinformation strategy? "Oh yeah the Bugaboos - horrible rubble - don't go near them".

The phrase "22lb. ass baby" I believe will see more usage in the future.

Just dont show me no pictures of your bent shaft... reminds me of the Tami Knight cartoon about the 3 ice climbers in the drag queen bar...

I'm authorized to buy stuff for Cascadeclimbers.Com!!! What is the corporate credit card number Jon??

Duct tape works for everything (except for fixing ducts; bowel ducts excluded). I got the idea from this weeks "Maakies" - see Maakies for details as this is one cartoon I will not be posting for fear of offending someone or other... In Canada, there is no mountain you have to carry your shit out with you from. Incidentally I find the broad leaves of devils club most useful for TP if by chance you run out. But you gotta wipe with the spiny side out!!!

Holly you can check the site Climbers Access Society of BC web or there is info posted in Valhalla-Pure and at MEC concerning the closures showing what areas are closed, open etc. You should check your pms i preplied to you some info about the falcons a month ago and you still haven't looked at it!! As to why the falcons moved - a bald eagle killed the female (Elsie) last year and speculation is the same male (Albert) moved with his new female to a new nest site this year. They chose the Flats..duh they should have moved to NW Passage or Zodiac Wall... Anyways the closure is only until July 31... 3 more weeks...

{whew} when you said you had a raspberry wound showing i thought perhaps the sores had started to break-out youve still got time to seek treatment. its a "chronic" condition

Use a cork while you are on the mountain. Remove cork afterwards.

Are there any cougars up there?

Has he ever told you the story of how they started a forest fire on the Squamish Buttress while they were roasting hotdogs for lunch during the first ascent ?

I do believe Capt. Caveman entered that for Fred. If Fred had done it the sentence structure would be more "original". If you ever get into an email exchange with him you will find out just how original

just take 100 gu packets and single-push it 24 hours or less "yak to yak" (no cars at base camp )

please let me know next time you have to leave gear behind on a squamish route as i am always looking to expand my rack

the road is open now. see www.bivouac.com i have heard lots of reports that it is choss despite the fact in all the photos the rock looks mint. take your chances and report back.
