  1. Lake Tahoe Rock aint too bad.
  2. Where can I get a detailed good topo for SR of Gimli? The one I found on the web was crappo. Dru why don't you just draw one up for me and send it in the mail or scan it? I'd like to aid the 5.7 sandbag climb
  3. There are so many if's and maybe's in everything. You can spin the subject in 360 degrees easily. In both mentioned cases I think the victims were doing things they should not have. You can disect it into 500 pieces or just look at the real big picture which is- They should not have been leading those climbs. It's the truth. Hauling a body out doesn't make you good at placing pro. So that comment has no value concerning gear climbing. You can fall on a bolt line, down a snow slope, off a knife edge snow ridge - whatever and die.
  4. Sounds pretty wild. No he didn't.
  5. Beckey Guides - No other comprehensive mountain range book even compares. There's bound to be errors about obvious descent gullies McClane Books - All the Elaho books are awesome. The design is great. I'm waiting for the Selkirks North. Worst Books- Smoot books. He rips off info from people and then degrades them in his own sly way. Has he ever climbed a volcanoe?
  6. Yeah Dru he was with us. Him and Aaron made a try on the Amon Rudh but were forced back by early season waterfall on route.
  7. This wall has an A4 route. However there are many more that do not have any routes. I recommend checking it out if you like aid climbing. The wall pictured is 18 pitches up to A4+ so it may be bigger than it looks in a photo. Plus many other slabs and potential to be found. All the big wall gurus should be interested. I dont know much but I am willing to give any info needed. Make a free route too. There are many other spots that would make good free climbing. Check em out!
  8. Not bleeding yet
  9. Check you private messages beyotch
  10. Gimme a call. Want to do climb.
  11. For example: Shoulda posted the pic of Beckey crankin the 5.10 pitch
  12. BTW here's a website Colin has made with some info. It's not all the way up to date but Colin apparently put in the mass of useful signs on the road to help find the climbing areas. You cannot miss them. He also put in most of the routes and seemed cheery enough to send mass beta. I recommend 4 days or more if you go there to tag routes. 2 ferries across to there from Horshoe Bay... The logging road has trucks down it on the weekdays but if you park your car in one spot you will be able to camp and then can move it after 6pm sometimes without any problems. Bring mosqitoe juice and netted bivy gear they critters are just out. Please climb some new routes so I can go do them too. http://www.roughlife.com/rockclimbing/rock_climbing%20pr.htm PS many Squamish Chief looking formations to visit.
  13. In the new place. Or at Duffey's. He's got the endless network of couch bivies. I can find out where the new place is exactly. If you need to know send PM and I will hook you up with someone that knows. I hear it's somewhere behind the smoke bluff's parking lot so it cant be too far from where it was really.
  14. The mission house people have moved..... to a new location sort of. Raoul went to S America but don't know if he is back yet. Last I heard nobody knew when he would return. That was a month ago though.
  15. Many big walls. Lots of granite. Stay away from logging trucks 5 am to 6pm monday through friday. Good camping at mile marker 34 (not km). Recommend High clearance truck or vehicle. Many unclimbed big walls. Pretty hot right now. Saw 2 bears and 2 deer.
  16. Last saturday I heard some big fucking slides coming down from north and east facing areas. Good thing I wasn't near the area I agree with Dru only partially. I still believe there is a little danger potential out there. Specifically on that route I would be concerned on the Roman Ski slope area. Cornice bit is a good thought too. Saw some of those fuckers laying on the ground last weekend too. When they come they are bigger than they often look from far away. Probably like dodging falling trucks from the sky or sumptin. Cheers- I'm going rock climbing this weekend to steal one of Dru's routes up in BC or climb it with him if he ever shows up.
  17. What a jackass. Guiding is ok, and I bet some of your friends guide in the most crowded national park. I think your anger towards guides and guiding is twisted and misplaced. Contact your congressional representative all you want. I'm sure they have better worries than to listen to someone that has not gathered any facts numbers or offer any proof other than scorn for guides and everything they represent. Peronally I think guiding is fine. It could keep some people from doing things they shouldn't. Or maybe not Either way guiding is not going away. Quit your whining.
  18. Right on doods Nice climbing. I'm betting the rowboat across the pacific ocean's gonna be way harder than any of the climbs. It's not like you can pull over for a sprite and a taco stand out in the middle of the ocean by yourself.
  19. I have recently converted to Primus and other stoves. Nothing like nearly torching your tent to get a meal going.
  20. I put in a photo of scottpeepee although not the best mullet certainly worth noting
  21. Cant really say anything about copyrighting but there's a picture of me in there and I never climbed with Gonealpine WTF It's a nice collection of ripoff photos. Common courtesy might be to ask other people if you should use their photos. Then you might not get flamed at all. Or at least note that you are doing so.
