mid-October is usually when 6-8 weeks of continuous rain starts

The prunage is pretty random, though. In some parts it is good, then vanishes for 200m and begins again.

You can walk to the same point (old growth strip) on the road on the other (west) side closer to Les Cornes. The alder isn't any worse on that side and you avoid the thrash across the creek.

We took two separate lunch breaks this time (it was Chris' first multipitch climb this year and all the lowangle slab was working his calves) so probably 3 hrs up and 1.5 down. We also spent over an hour picking raspberries and huckleberries on the way down I took advantage of Tyler's advice and walked down the last 2 pitches instead of rapping them. Top of the 2nd is a little steeper than the Apron descent slab, don't slip.

Spent a couple of days in the Anderson River group this weekend. Saturday E. and I went in to do the scramble up Steinbok. Spent three hours wandering around on alder-choked logging roads getting soaked in frequent rain showers. South side is definitely a better approach to the Ibex-Steinbok col. Ran into Blake and avitripp back at the parking also getting skunked by the rain, no Voodoo Chile for them. My friend Chris came out on Sunday from Squampton and we headed for Yak. Two parties already on Yak Check so we did Speedway. Great day but cold and windy up there, two jackets on all day long. Wet Steinbok on Saturday Climbing Speedway on Sunday Simulrapping back down.

Lie of the year.

there is a very good reason why only three peaks out of the hundreds in the southern selkirks have ever had winter ascents.

I saw rockfall pretty much every half hour down the north face. That's loose enough for me.

I usually try to put ON 10 lbs or so before ice climbing season starts because I usually lose that much in the first few weeks of ice season from the shivering and I found that if I didn't gain some weight before the season started, by the end of the season I was too cold all day and it just wasn't fun. Btw I'm 184 cm, 74 kg

Fans of heavy metal music are gentle, creative people who are at ease with themselves, which makes them very similar to fans of classical music. That's the finding of a new study at Scotland's Heriot-Watt University of the link between peoples' personalities and their choice of music. Adrian North, the professor behind the study, said he was surprised at the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal, especially their creativity and generally shy natures. "The general public has held a stereotype of heavy metal fans being suicidally depressed and of being a danger to themselves and society in general. But they are quite delicate things," he said in an interview with the BBC. North suggests that music lovers tend to identify with the characteristics of the music itself. "We think, what we think the answer is, that both types of music, classical and heavy metal, both have something of the spiritual about them — they're very dramatic — a lot happens." The study of more than 36,000 people from six different countries found that people had more in common with fans of their favourite music in other countries than they had with fellow citizens who preferred different styles of music. North describes it as a new kind of tribalism, based on musical taste. "We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality," North said. "This is the first time that we've been able to look at it in real detail. No one has ever done this on this scale before." Jazz fans tend to be creative and outgoing, with high self-esteem, in keeping with the innovative and sociable nature of the music. Country western fans were found to be hard-working, but introverted, fitting with the blue-collar image of country music. The research concluded soul music lovers are a well-rounded bunch — creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease with themselves and with high self-esteem. Rap fans are outgoing and far from gentle, while indie music lovers lack both self-esteem and the work ethic. "Researchers have been showing for decades that fans of rock and rap are rebellious, and that fans of opera are wealthy and well-educated," North said. He also made a link between income bracket and musical tastes, with more affluent consumers liking more exciting, punchy music while those lower down the pay scale preferring more relaxing sounds. North said his research might have applications in commercial marketing of music

Dude your rant sounds just like the kid who just took the Mounties course whining that they saw a climber at Bruce's Boulder say it was OK to anchor from a sliding-X. "Don't THESE IDIOTS KNOW they could DIE doing that?"
