the climbs are at Juniper Point. The trail starts out of the right side of the parking lot (not the far end which goes to the lighthouse). Just keep taking the right option at each fork and you might end up in the right place. It's really only a TR area, very greasy and compact, picturesque though, seacliffs, seals, drunk people on boat cruises. There are some other areas on the North Shore too ... I don't know much about them but maybe Cairns or Dru will chime in. I might be into going to the Rockhouse ... $$ dependent. Also if the jerky people have stopped working there.

?? that's the way it already works. click the trip report name and it takes you to the thread.

no. YVR is only an approximation to my location in the 3-dimensional spatial understanding of your limited human species.

you should all chill and take it to spray. This was a thread about getting new route developers to post about their routes on this site. There is nothing bolt-specific in that topic, nor is it necessary to re-hash past thread which anyone can search out if they choose to. If you believe there is a problem then perhaps a more solution-oriented discussion would be productive.

There is a gym in Richmond. Lighthouse park is probably closest. Getting out to the valley during afterwork rush hour is a hellish nightmare, making it no closer than Squamish. If you time the traffic right it takes 1h15m from the Knight St. Bridge to the Chief. In the long days of summer you can get at least 3 hours of daylight post-work climbing in Squamish

That sounds like a great idea!!!

this discussion was going pretty good. let's not lose it to spray and name-calling for another few pages at least. Thinker asked for thoughts on how to make this place more welcoming to people who might like to advertise their new routes. Any suggestions? For example Supertopo.com has a completely separate forum for discussion about routes, linked to a route database. Would an idea like that have value here? More clearly separate the spray and banter component of this site from the nuts and bolts route info?

dru is on vacation ... I am sure he'll get back to you when he returns look here for picture of Hatzic Prairie http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=908&password=&sort=1&cat=500&page=5

Yes I have done it. It works a bit. I used 5mm evazote because I had some handy. Other stuff that might work: foam draft tape from hardware store, neoprene. I just taped it on with duct tape. If the boots are already snug you don't want to cram extra socks and footbeds and shakywarms in there, it'll just inhibit circulation. Taking time to brush snow out of sole lugs and caught in laces make a little difference too. It all adds up.

4 bolts were more-or-less clear on Sat. Things may change.

right now the hardest part of no-deductible is the steep ice at the top. The bolted part of it is even easier than the bottom of Waite for Spring.

the way it works is that banning and unbanning are done by the same person and the rest of us don't generally interfere. If this was not the way of things Dwayner would have been back a long time ago. Sorry Dwayner

it's wintertime let's laugh at funny pictures of people skiing: Free your heels and your wardrobe will follow: Fix your heels fix your problems?:

low light conditions might make it more interesting actually. It'd force you to identify layers by feel rather than sight.

protectability does not only refer to the placement of screws and the use of ropes. It also refers to the opportunities you have to manage your safety through your movement and use of tools and crampons. The quality of ice, the nature of the formations etc. all play into this aspect of difficulty. If you have a rope above you this is mainly irrelevant. Certainly not in all cases as there are circumstances when seconding can be as serious an effort as leading, but top-roping at Marble Canyon doesn't fall in that category.

like Alex said above. The WI# ratings include protectability. You don't have to protect while top-roping.

Coca leaf tea is nice for relieving headaches and nausea. I doubt you will find medical studies about it though. It's easy to get in South America. Maybe if you have to pee in a cup for your job you should avoid it though.

'the author' does not care who links to that site. Also 'the author' intends (and always has intended) to dismantle the site once the WCIv2 is in print.

the greek restaurant is overpriced and sucky. the chinese buffet is gross. so far the best dinner food I have found in Lillooet is what I brought myself and SubWay

didn't CBS also predict that those maintenance company hostages in Iraq would be tortured and murdered? I hope that if I ever go missing that catbirdseat will spare no time in announcing my doom. To me it is a beacon of hope

woot! skiing is the most fun thing you can do with two planks attached to your feet. This is a great area. Peeps from Spokane should chekit out! most plab

John Millar and Conny Amelunxen climbed Shreddie in the '99/'00 winter. I believe they also installed one or more bolts at that time for some mixed whatnot. I don't remember what condition the 'dagger' was in that year.
