    great news!

    Maybe it moved from your hand to your cervix, or did you get the shot? Those verucas are quite mobile.
  8. Yes but you are comparing a present orange to a future apple. When the ditch failed and eroded through in the same or an adjacent place it would have transported much more sediment downstream. I wasn't on site - I don't know a lot of specifics about this site. But doing nothing to a road for 15 years (Matt's statistic) is not a good option from a geotechnical standpoint. At that point it often costs as much to play catchup with maintenance as it does to build the road in the first place, and only a fraction of that to put it to bed. For most of these roads, unless there is some assured annual funding source, deactivation is the only practical option - and it often has to be quite thorough. The road up from Squamish to Mt Habrich is a great example. It's not like this is some overhanging sport crag where you might be worried that the hiking approach will make your legs too big and heavy, right?
  9. a live pig or a dead pig?
  10. Looks like the Gamma SV bib.
  11. It costs a continual annual investment of money to keep a road in driveable condition.
  12. maybe they'd rather the sediment stay in the road prism rather than end up in the reservoir, an undeactivated road WILL fail. eventually.
  13. There's a 50%/50% chance that most polls are accurate, 19 times out of 20.
  14. It sounds similar in concept but a bit less secure than those pan-flute style screw racks
  15. He got new plumbing for his house, but he thought it was the Internet. Hence the "system of tubes".
  16. $100 CDN and I'll pick 'em up.
  17. It's Psyche Slab. If you spell it right you can Google a ton of info!
  18. The Fraser Valley. http://fvbouldering.com/site/guide/
  19. linky If you were alive in 1983, and you are still breathing today, you can thank this man. Scary thought: the same systems are still being used today by the Us and Russia.
  20. build heat exchanger, if you do it wrong stove turns into bomb, so do it right, or just do the right thing in the first place and use a white gas stove.
  21. i was reading the day by day updates on supertaco for you guys and lamebone
  22. Tying off makes screws fail at ridiculously low loads
  23. Damn Justin, could you tear it in half with one hand? There's very good bouldering an hour from Bellingham but you needs to cross da border.
