There is no such place as the "Coastal Range". It's the Coast Mountains

the women's stuff is designed for women, and the men's stuff is designed for women to look at.

from experience once it hits -30 in lake louise it is usually better climbing in lillooet

I saw a garter snake chimneying its way up a finger crack in the Smoke Bluffs. Found a mummified tarantula on a ledge in Keyhole Canyon NV More on an alpine route but there is a balanced erratic up at Meager... a 4 foot boulder on top of a 6 foot boulder

you can make it sound more sexy and dark by calling it "lick heel"

There is a Stone Dudes calendar but apparently it doesn't sell as well.... aside from the 10 copies Kevbone buys.

-40C in Jasper. Too cold to climb, but we tried. Ow.

There have been a couple times when I climbed out of my comfort zone and into "no retreat" situations, either because of soloing or trying to make a new route go, and once because of not having the right piece of gear for the pitch. In all of these cases I have eventually been in a situation where I have made moves I was uncertain of success on, where the consequence for failure was death or life-changing injury. I couldn't recommend these pitches to anyone, and I would have to say that nowadays at least I would do a lot to avoid them, but I'm as proud of having succeeded on those pitches as I am of anything else I have ever done, because if I hadn't I would not be here.

i take it there were no sheep up on shuksan? baa 8D

The nice thing about the type 1 to 2 is, especially when you are dehydrated, they come out so clean you might not even need to wipe.

the most important part of climbing is the partnerships... if you are a good climber but an asshole, no one will want to climb with you twice, and once you run out of partners it will be soloing or moving to a new area where no one knows you as the only options. so the most important alpine skills are people skills. make your partners look forward to climbing with you again.

When I went I mostly did mountaineering but I did do at least 5 days of each of the listed options.

Dude it's New Zealand... mountains trad sport multipitch singlepitch boulder DWS, they have it all.

BACK ON TOPIC: I don't think bolts are too good in hollow placements.
