  1. This includes more probababilities to the definition. But then is cirque an easy definition? I think so. cirque ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sûrk) n. A steep bowl-shaped hollow occurring at the upper end of a mountain valley, especially one forming the head of a glacier or stream. Also called cwm.
  2. It seems to me that a tarn would logically be a small body of water that forms a pond or small lake below or at the glacier line ; perhaps even adjacent or above in some instances annnually. This would rule out lots of things. Discuss
  3. a tarn is a lake but a lake is not necessarily a tarn- the dictionary on the web is vague as I guess one would be for a printed version. The key seems to be-" especially one formed by glaciers." But if snow melted inside a crevasse it could also fit that definition. It requires more thought than a dictionary... <hr> http://www.dictionary.com tarn ( P ) Pronunciation Key (tärn) n. A small mountain lake, especially one formed by glaciers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Middle English tarne, of Scandinavian origin.] lake1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lk) n. A large inland body of fresh water or salt water. A scenic pond, as in a park. A large pool of liquid: a lake of spilled coffee on my desk.
  4. Yes keep it coming- weather is always attrocious in Squampton and the rock is always wet. Don't go near whistler either- it has NO snow.
  5. We never climbed together - Of course I dont let jackasses get me in a rut.

  7. A friend of mine was up on Crowder this season. He said it was a long ways -with views of Spectre and stuff... I saw some of his videos shot on a dig camera. Lots of brush it looked like. I guess that also depends on how you approach.
  8. Chuck, go here: (or back to school) http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#howtowritehaiku and never take me seriously! Oh so simply written and so well said\documented for a - "shut up"
  9. I think Dru is more correct than anyone else so far. I hate bouldering unless I am alone or stuck somewhere with no big rocks and nothing else is available. Even then I think it's boring. What is an onsight? So I say the answer to the subject is - No
  10. Easy- Stop surfing porn.
  11. I doubt it.
  12. It looks like Dru!
  13. Not discouragement but reality- You cant pull over for a mocha while crossing the ocean. There is now guess on my part- this sort of effort will certainl be the most dangerous. I'll eat some donuts and watch. Have you researched about parties that have rowed across the atlantic for instance? it is a little bit smaller than the pacific... I hope you have rescue beacons. The storms are not an avoidable thing. Endurance through them will be necessary. Done being mother. Good luck. Get the latte en route.
  14. What routes are coming in? Watch the crowds loom. But what are the "non classics"?
  15. Well, then. I change my Mind. The lower walls of Vantage rock for thugishness, and Damn The Dwayners, full speed ahead Do you need panties?
  16. I will look for ice when it get's cold. Thanks for the tips. Shitkowsi- see you this xmas time if you are around.
