  1. They can probably make more money running the water intake for power than they can selling pulp. Figure that will last until anaerobic biomass digestion for power starts to ramp up. I heard that a portable chip mill is currently at break-even if brought to a setting where all of the saw logs are already felled and yarded.
  2. I don't recall anything unusual o difficult about the descent except that some idiot had left a shit-ton of prayer flags up there on which you might be strangled. The jumps were mellow and there were a couple easy chimneys.
  3. You start the SE Butt right here:

  5. How much is it worth to you? You can get a custom made pair for ~$1500 that will accommodate your flipper.
  6. I thought this was gonna be about that news story "hundreds of sex toys hanging from power lines in PDX"
  7. I heard that SAR got called out on some overdue climbers yesterday on the NEB.
  8. See if you can figure it out with this picture (from June 15th!)....

  10. You may be able to climb Borderline or Sherrif's Badge routes and traverse onto Crest to finish, above the lower pitches where the nest is? Not sure.
  11. BC parks just announced some closures today. The rock scaling is done and they were gonna reopen angels Crest, but it has peregrines nesting on p4 and 5 and is now officially closed til nesting season ends.
  12. By all means, let the games begin
  13. The real question is whether your ancestors fucked Denisovans or Neanderthals along the way out.
  14. It's hard to hold aid climbers up as paragons of clean ethics when they do shit like leave pig heads hanging from belays at Index. That just ain't kosher, son.

  16. Look at all the rock garbage at the base of that sad little cliff. Someone should arrest these rocks for littering and leaving their choss all over the slope.
  17. Here is a pic from a friend from last week (June 2):
  18. Does an RB work if the hole is so shallow that it only goes in half way?
  19. 4th from last pic looks like the route climbs up some detached blocks. Get it while you can, those may not last much longer
  20. Rapped the gully and postholed squishily in their approach shoes out via Crossover, said it was unpleasant but at least not a scree hop like later in the season
  21. You mean the pointed one? http://www.mtntools.com/cat/rclimb/bolts/mosesaidhooks.htm
  22. A friend did the NEB yesterday. Pocket Glacier is "gone", very little snow on approach. Descent gully and Crossover Pass descent are "very snowy" though. They bivied on summit due to unexpected snow in the gullies.
