i found lambone's thread started (oddly enough) exactly one year ago! i know basically *where* it is; just wondering where "the" spots to go are (if there are any in particular) ... and particularly from anyone who's been there recently. just looking for somewhere to tool around.

wtf? j/k. a gym climbing partner of mine was telling me there is some short ice climbs at big four. more info (where, when, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

mmm ... sharma.

thanks, pindude. interesting reading ...

i tried searching but didn't come up with much. anyone know of a decent website or two where i can check on conditions at lillooet?

Is it in any guide books? not in any guidebooks. i'd be happy to show you where it is, though. kind of tricky navigating, but i've been there before and am fairly certain of my abilities to make it out there again. that's where i learned how to ice climb!

dangit, i *thought* i was being followed this morning!

stop teasing us, dru!

good reason to never trust your falls to just two pieces of pro.

joke, dude. ha, ha. get it? I VOTE.

if he's not coming until after 11, i'll see what i can do. otherwise; someone else is going to have to hook 'im up.

hey dave, don't forget to call hansel.

I could think of worser ways to spend my weekend i feel bad for backing out on smith, but i think i've found a new addiction. hanging out and drinking can be loads of fun, but i can think of *much* better things to be doing ... like CLIMBING ICE!!!

yeah; better stay away from banks lake. go get lost.

dude, my calves were not hurting. and my arms only hurt on that first overhanging bulge climb that scot'teryx and sergio tr'ed. (talk about pumpy!!!) all i know, though, is i want more steeper waterfall ice. i got some pics, too, but will wait until i finish the roll to get them developed. oh, and it wasn't *that* cold. nunatak kobuk mountain jackets (and warm tent buddies) rule!

look at those pictures! omfg!!! guess where i'm going next weekend ...
