The difference being when someone dies of exposure while sleeping out on the street on a cold winter night in Saskatoon, or Fargo, no one pretends it is a mountaineering death. But if it is on some dinky little hill, suddenly that bump becomes a Killer Mountain

Col Foster?

Very warm around Hope area today (fourth straight day of +5-+8 C). Drove up to scope out some unclimbed lines and watched big chunks fall off them, pretty impressive.

My spray is carbon-neutral.

It's +2C and raining at the summit of the Duffey Lake road right now. Supposed to cool down again by Sunday night. http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/www/182.html

Even better - Hemingway didn't say that, although it is often misattributed to him. Best guess as given here is that it was Barnaby Conrad, otherwise unknown today. http://www.theknese.com/pages/Hemingway.php

I like the chirstmas.

It's the hide of the gecko you just skinned.

Joe lied in the election, who's surprised now?

Tiger is applying for French citizenship

Details of this Maddaloni "harder than M7" mixed thing (sounds like it is still a project going by his blog, actually) are up on his blog. Also from a couple of sources it seems like there is a lot of ice in in North Joffre Creek, at least 3 parties got on it in the last 2 weeks, but probably with a lot of avvy hazard right now.
