I remain elusive with my projects and cannot make this one now. It is all climbing related so a good excuse So party on !

Lurk Lurk Chop Chop

Matt I can assure you I will climb Cocaine Crack later this season and remove all the remaining bolts! AAARRRRRG they were not there this spring!

Scott, You can keep all the Snafflehound meals on your dinner plate. Nasty bastards should be exterminated! http://www.ucalgary.ca/~efee/bugaboos.htm "We pulled into the Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park parking lot at 4:00 pm and were on the trail by 5:30. Four hours later we staggered onto the Bugaboo/Snowpatch Col, eagerly greeted by a horde of ravenous snafflehounds. Bold is far too mild a word to describe those furry devils! Fortunately, I was with a veteran of previous rodent wars. Frank produced a 10 foot length of stainless steel wire which we strung between big boulders; everything edible was hung from it. He also scattered leftover food a short distance from our camp to distract them. Their only significant victory was a 2 inch cube of cheese that I left unguarded for an instant while I was stirring the soup." [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 07-23-2001).]

Nolanr, I saw a bear yesterday afternoon as well as snafflehounds last night at my campsite. Big Big Snafflehounds. They are annoying and very persistant little mongrels that need some poison and baiting into traps to eliminate their scourge. The bear ran away and the Snafflehounds were bold enough to try to eat into my pack that I was using as a pillow. Bastards must die !! Kill them Snafflehounds [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 07-21-2001).]

However, it seems like the choppers where driven by something else other than the notion of preserving the rock. All this talk about posting pictures of the chopping and continuous bragging is hard to listen to. Most of us agree the bolts should not have been placed, but how much praise do you need for chopping them? Yos, It was not a matter of praise here. I was confronted by several people that we should post the outcome here. As far as the picture taking well that was our own fun and need not be explained other than my sick mind. I was actually asked by 2 people under this forum to post a picture or 3 but I don't plan to at the moment... You might be surprised what churns in the background of this site...

I noticed the bear boxes below manure pile were not being used when I was there too. Good spot we used to brew up coffee with picnic tables in the mornin'. I would avoid the car camping if you are on extended stay. Just do what I did in Camp4 and you will also meet many people as well. Perhaps someone to ropegun you up some harder stuff or that has the green, or even some just really cool people. Although I thought it was very very loud there too......

Yeah I remember that wait for off time to climb bro. Just be like I was, climb everything you can when you get the chance until you are out of the army. Have fun and I'll be looking for the guys sportin the High and tights and swiss seats Is the Lycra Cave still there? [This message has been edited by Cpt.Caveman (edited 07-20-2001).]

I never paid for showers at all. THere is a place I went to just before Curry Village on the left side. I think it was for the housekeeping workers or something. Anyway it will be on your map. Go there there is a little store and to the left of it is a laundromat and behind it I showered and nobody said anything. As far as camping James and I just brought some brewskies and a good attitude and camped on the outskirts of peoples' campsites. Just make sure to be up and gone by 7 am ish before the Rangers do their walk through.

Desperate Voyage is a killer book.

quote: Originally posted by lambone: Ok, sure... puting a bolt next to a crack is a different issue. It's lame, enough said. But in my opinion, if someone goes out and retrobolts a route, the damage is done. The scar is there. You might as well make the best out of it. What the hell good does it do to go out and chop a route leaving a gnarly hunk of metal in the rock, just to prove your point. If you say that bolts shouldn't be placed when you can toprope a route, well then hell you'd better buy alot of crowbars! You'll be up in the Icicle for months. Lammy, the only bolt that was left in was the bottom 1/2 incher so the rock is not scarred as you might think. We will go back and cover that one up soon as well. The damage is not done and that is simply a weak statement in support for the act that occurred. As for needing a lot of crowbars in the icicle I dont think so. I personally think of established routes on the Castle are historic and should be left alone. I this situation I don't think this is a war but more like a restoration with a small message is all. -Cpt
