  1. Two rescues off the Chief in the last two weeks, neither serious though. At least one was an Australian who jumped during a windstorm... an experienced jumper told me "That guy was an idiot to jump in those conditions".
  2. I usually just check the webcam
  3. Look for Mythic Bellingham Big Wall TRs they describe this eastern approach well and also I think a climb or two of this route

  5. You have to worry if you ever park in Metro again, but I don't think they check for outstanding parking tickets at the border yet.
  6. See Fairley guide "the gravel flats are big enough for the whole Russian Army to bivouac in" or something like that.
  7. dru's ex?
  8. Trip: Anderson River Range - Steinbok & Springbok Arete Date: 7/24/2010 Trip Report: So Shaun, Dave and I went to do Springbok Arete on Saturday. Got to the base and we only had two helmets, two chalkbags and motivation enough for two of the three climbers. Dave and Shaun got on Springboks and I decided to wander up Steinbok. Coles Notes version: Dave and Shaun climbed to the top of p10, using the Sprung Cocks Erect direct start, slowed down in the hot sun and ended up bailing. I climbed Steinbok, easy scramble from the col with Ibex. A bunch of pics: Gear Notes: Doubles to 3" plus 3.5 and 4 for Springboks via Sprung Cock Erect. Ice axe and approach shoes for Steinbok Approach Notes: Anderson River Main North is 2wd to the Branch 610 fork. DO NOT take the roads on the west side of the creek. Alder hell. Take the aldered in but more passable roads on the EAST side of the creek, below Gemse, until right across from the old growth below Springboks. Descend through the clearcut, cross the creek and bushwack straight uphill across the west-side roads to the old growth. Follow flagged trail thru the old growth (north side of the tongue of big trees) and up to the climb
  9. That is so common in America it never makes the news. That chick is pretty much normal weight by US standards.
  10. The newer descent is probably worse IMHO when the snow and ice are gone and there is nothing to hold the shit on those ledges together... downclimbing the upper summit pyramid or rapping it is a lot more attractive
  11. Some recent trip reports on clubtread
  12. 9/11 truth!
  13. MMMM, speach

    UFO sighting

    A turbine broke therefore it must be a UFO? That was soo boring with the sound off. A whole bunch of recycled static shots of the same turbine.
  15. Is that who snaffled my iPod last night then?

  17. If you don't have access to a plotter and waterproof paper, International Travel Books & Maps in Richmond carries all the in-print 1:50K topos. itmb.com You can buy the NTS 1:50K topos directly from Natural Resources Canada nrcan.gc.ca Finally you can access the 1:20K BC TRIM maps for BC online at maps.gov.bc.ca There's a link in there if you need to buy paper maps the iMapBC app has logging road locations, though not conditions, updated to almost current conditions (2009)
  18. You need to learn to aid better for CNR Stuart and NEB Slesse? O.K. Thanks for the honesty. Please keep it clean so you don't pin scar the cracks too much for us free climbers
  19. I thought this was gonna be about THIS understanding and kindness: http://www.theprovince.com/entertainment/Teen+gunned+down+vandalizing+cars/3292711/story.html
  20. On Hozomeanie the rock holding the bolts would just fall off...
  21. You wish. Between the water and oil needed for intensive agriculture, there is plenty cause for war (according to some, obviously) SOYLENT GREEN: NO WAR REQUIRED
  22. It's lemony fresh
  23. Mr Fox, if you compare the pic wdeitsch linked to the one where you have it threaded, it looks like you may have yours threaded backwards?
