Whatcom County -- The second best soft sandstone climbing in the world "A wee lass" - you get a sex change there Darin, or what?

OGOPOGO!!

I mean, nobody calls Los Angeles "LAX". Wait, what came first, seatac the airport or seatac the town? weird and quircky is what this city is all about. take that away and all ya got is Pittsburgh in the cascades without the Steelers. If you move away from LA does that make you formerly of LAX or for short, Ex-Lax?

I bet Trask's momma could tell you stories about her, Garbo and Groucho having a threeway.... in a dumpster...while drunk on Lysol...

Craig we do have climate records going back more than 1200 years. monks wrote down the weather in monasteries (not temp in C but length of growing season, # of days with snow etc.) in Europe, for instance. Chinese recorded a lot of this stuff too. ALSO and more importantly we have tree rings, seafloor sediment, coral reefs, fossils and ice cores giving us 10 000 yrs of recorded climate data. But I guess, the western fuels association wasn't around then so all those sources are bullshit?

the difference between a 6:2 and a 3:1 is that the first is twice as big, duh.

trasks opinion is important to me and i respect it even though i disagree with it.

Trundling good. hitting people below bad.

How long is it gonna be before there is a route called Sea of Vipers??? Charlet still #1, since BD tools are becoming more like Charlet all the time.... imitation the sincerest form of flattery...

Your momma is so fat she breaks trampolines! AND... her shoe size is F150!

Go to the Ramparts and steal all of Fred and Ray's new routes

Isnt disagreeing with the IPCC while claiming not to understand the finer points of the science, like disagreeing with Darwin cause the bible doesn't say anything about dinosaurs or Homo Habilis?

Get Bow Valley Rock in addition to Selected Alpine cause BVR has all the alpine rock near Canmore like Yamnuska, Ha Ling aka Chinamans, EEOR (East End Of Rundle) etc in it which is good if you lookimg for 10-15 pitch 5.6-5.12's. Also outside the park is less spendy.

Louis and Edith are good limestone and daytrips from Banff or Canmore. Lots of rock routes to choose from. NE ridge of Ha Ling is also reportedly about as popular as Da Toof.

ANWR should only be drilled if it can be drilled on lead otherwise retrosaurus must get his crowbar out again!

OHMYGOD SAVED!!!!!!! I thought I was gonna go insane!!! Most people DECIDE when they are gonna go cold turkey. (or should that be cold snafflehound?) [ 07-16-2002, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Yeah Man, Free Beckey!!!! He's Innocent I tell Ya!

Lowell if you continue like you are going to Spickard and then cut right once you are past all the brush, your feet stay dry. Looking down on it from the route you can see the bush-free path. We plotted our way out that way. That said we were there early July and there was still snow where later there might have been more bush.

MtnGoat there is 30% more C02 in the atmosphere right now than there was pruior to the Industrial Revolution. Over that time the mean global temperature has increased by [don't have this figure readily available, IIRC it is more than 1 degree C]. and the Northern Hemisphere growing season is now 9 days longer. Please tell us what part of this increase is non-anthropogenically caused.

Driving up Hwy 9 on a short cut from Sedro Wooley back to Sumas my eye was caught by a set of pinnacles on the ridge E of Van Zandt. This would be due west of the Twin Sisters I guess. These pinnacles looked to be 25-30m high and sand or limestone. Any idea if there are routes there? Dont recall seeing info on them in Bellingham Rock or the Kloke "Boulders and Outcrops" guide but maybe I'm mistaken? [ 07-16-2002, 03:48 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]
