Rapid Peak, I thought it was Pocket Peak? Or is Pocket the next one over?

When I went down to Dragontail a few weeks back Viktor gave us an alpine pipe and a big chunk to take into Colchuck with us. Ray's female bought me breakfasst. Does that mean I got friends on both sides or what

Plenty of rap anchors that need replacing. Ask Dru if he will go out and use his new-used drill to help out. I use my drill to violently assault sportclimbers. Live by the sword die by the sword motherfucker!

After various partners jammed and others missed the boat I ended up driving up to Gold Bridge alone. Snowline way high in the south Chilcotins, like 7000'. Bugs horrible at about 5000' so slept in the car. Got up Sunday AM, bugwhacked through clouds of mosquitoes and blackflies almost too thick to see through, to NE ridge of Sloan. dropped down to cirque on N side and climbed a variant to the Fairley 1983 route avoiding all the steep stuff at the top that Bruce did in favour of easier snow and rock on the right side, basically the NW ridge and face to its immediate left. Summitted, descended. Left crampons sitting on a moraine below the south face and had to hike back up 2 hrs to get them what it took me 10 minutes to glissade down. Hiked out (more crazy bugs and Ault Creek flooding), back at car after about 13.5 hr day. Drove to Gold Bridge. Bar and restaurant closed. Drove to Lillooet. Everything closed by the time I got there. Slept in car by the Fraser River halfway down to Lytton, and went to Canyon Alpine Monday Am for the Truckers Special. First time in a long time I could eat the whole thing and still be hungry! Saw no one in the mountains the whole weekend However, saw about 25 deer, 1 moose, 1 honey-colored black bear, and 1 humongous pile of cougar(?) shit containing nothing but deer hair and bone fragments. Beer sure tasted good when I got home.

Ony when I ve run out of toilet paper, or, more seriously, when the snow is soft enough that you posthole when standing, but supportive enough that you get a good slide going when you sit down. Thats the ideal conditions for the bum slide. Dont forget a frisbee or garbage bag to sit on to save your pants.

Snafflehoundjaeger and peregrine wingz... justlike in the "olden days" when climbers used to bag goats and marmots for dinner... now all them critters are gone so we must eat the plentiful 'hound. Whiskey jacks can be trained to land in your hand too. They are feathery but 24 or so would make a good pie. Who am I kidding. I take along extra nuts just to feed to the alpine moochers.

No microbrews? Cheapskate. I think the beer we all agree on is FREE BEER

You take a pound or so and fry it up good and you arent gonna get cold AT ALL during the day. Bacon taped over a blister will also heal it, and you can cut a slit in the bacon and put it over your eyes if you forgot your sunglasses.... Read Wm. O'Douglas's "Of Men and Mountains" They went on two-week hikes with a cast-iron skillet, five pound sacks of beans, flour, sugar, slabs of bacon, etc, all rolled up in a blanket. You could use the skillet for glissades, which cleans the bottom. Eating beans and bacon 3x/day for a week will clean the too from gas expulsion.

Dish of ice cream + rum on top. Yummy! Congrats on 4000th post as Capt Caveman, Ray.
