Which is not to say that I wouldn't be tickled pink to be Canadian... I agree this thread is about Washington climbing and everyone knows Washington is a warm up for BC. As referenced in the funny article written by a Seattle climber in the CAJ about the Waddington Range called "This Aint The Cascades, Jack." Just like Beacon Rock WA is the 'best crag in Oregon' , Squamish is the 'best crag in washington' for you guys and we have all the kine bud, good beers and cuter girlz. So y'all can stay down there in your little Seattle Pube Club cause we dont need you up here in the southwest.

These are some of the best Zombie movies of all time, excepting Dead Alive (Peter Jackson, better known for that hobbit movie) which is hands down the best Zombie film of all time. I dont mention 4th generation derivatives.

maxim ropes are notoriously bad for sheath slip. however if you get like 3 feet of sheath slip you can vcut it off and make a cool chalk bag belt of the extra sheath. if you are kosher, get a moyle to cut off the extra sheath

Ancient One aka Obvious Descent Tree aka HEY FRED WHAT HUH is looking for Triople Cs partners for this weekend. Im gonna set up the hotdog stand and ask the chics if they want some hot horse cock in their buns.

What did the leper say to the hooker? Keep the tip Why was the leper hockey game cancelled? There was a faceoff at centre ice How can you tell when a leper has been in your shower? He left his head & shoulders behind. What did the leper giant do when he saw the stand up comic? Gave him a great big hand. No offense to lepers You guys are Def.

So while we all wait for AO post to be deleted here is a funny joke to get back on this threads true purpose: A Newfie decides to go ice fishing. He walks out on the ice, sets down and cuts a hole, and starts fishing. well after about 15 minutes he hears a strange voice :"THERES NO FISH HERE!!!" He stops and listens. Huh. a strange voice. Maybe he imagined it. Listens hard - nothing. Goes back to fishing. Again a voice speaks "I SAID THERE IS NO FISH HERE!" Yes he definitely heard a voice. Maybe God is talking to him! So he speaks up "God? Is that you?" The voice says, "NO, YOU IDIOT, I AM THE ZAMBONI DRIVER!!!" PS Go Leafs!

I never understood Z and C systems until I started aid climbing and had to pull a pig. Then it was like, "Oh, duh!"

chics say Freshiez when they see Timmy's bum.

You have ethical discussions about bolting on lead after scrubbing on rappel. online on a thread called "TRASK GOBBLES POPES NUT" which is actually a request for information on a Lilloet ice climb

maybe not yet. Snowline is about 1000m. I bet you can drive at least partway in but you probably have to walk long before Spoon Lake.

Here is a *real* picture of me

All pix are being dropped off for development at the store at 4:30 today. Pix of Dru's tracks leading to craters at every turn will be available by this time next week if not sooner.

...Fred Beckey has ever asked your girlfriend if she'd like a "chunk of horse cock"

05/10 - Dru, fishstick and Don Serl leave Chilliwack northwestbound at 8 AM. Arrive Tatla lake 4pm. At the Graham Inn we determine that if Don worked there they could offer a "Waddington Guidebook" burger which you would order and it would arrive 6 years later. By 6Pm we have flown in to "Unnamed Creek" and are set up in Base Camp. 05/11 Up late. Around noon, decide to leave camp and climb a nearby peak for easy warm up. Pk 9400 is chosen as looking easy. Long ski up glacier. Kick steps up headwall to col. Climb SW ridge. Some scary class 3/4 stuff. Summit has cairn. summit reached 5PM. fishstick downclimbs steep coluoir rather than return along the ridge. Downclimb from col to skis. fishstick and Don ski down glacier. Dru walks down glacier carrying his skis after wiping out 5x in 30 meters. Don and fishstick back in camp at 8. Dru back in camp at 9. 05/12 Another easy day hiking up side valley in search of Quartz Peak. Much scoping of routes. Back to camp by 6. Dru cooks dinner. Don and fishstick discover they like Jagermeister. 05/13 Horizontal rain and snow. Dru reads 800 pages of "Dombey and Son" by Charles Dickens. 05/14 Up and away from camp by 9. Climb 3500 feet of snow gullies east of camp on rock hard snow. Follow exposed ridge to summit of Pk 9580. Possible FA?? Endless glissade down 3700 foot south face followed by posthole from hell on isothermal soup back to camp. 05/15 Dru solos pk 8500 while Don lounges in camp and fishstick goes skiiing. Despite Don claiming that Niut Range features choss and lots of it, pk 8500 is composed of bomber granite. North ridge 4th class. descent east ridge class 2. fun cornice jump to regain cirque. Dru leaves skins on and makes it back to camp with only 3 wipeouts. 05/16 Up at 4 AM for attempt on Quartz Peak. East facing couloir turns into soup by 7am. Party opts for adjacent couloir, avoids rock & ice fall, summits pk 9000 at 10 AM. Quartz looks scary so we run away. Dru goes for bum slide down gully. Narrowly misses fishstick and rock. By 1Pm we are back in camp. Realizing storm is approaching and snow conditions suck we fly out by 4pm and spend evening showering and eating Lori Kings fine food. 05/17 Drive back to Vancouver. 05/18, 05/19 Dru climbs in Squamish with Fred and Fern and meets Caveman, Jay and James. Much beer. 05/20 Rain. [ 05-21-2002, 02:51 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Here is one simple way to avoid crowdz at Smith. CLIMB HARD ROUTES

Or if you have ever tied off a slug for pro...

You go to BC every weekend because there is better climbing and better and cheaper beer and weed.
