Would YOU feel better if we didn't call your ridiculous exaggeration what it is? 28 feet isn't even a big fall for sport climbing (I have seen bigger whips off Latest Rage and Darkness at Noon) and for trad climbing, is merely slightly larger than average.

Trip: Mt Northgraves - West Couloir to SW Ridge Date: 5/31/2008 Trip Report: Climbed this peak yesterday with D and E via Cantelon Creek, 13.5 hours car to car. Saw some bears and stuff. Pretty good views, ideal weather and snow conditions. Class 2 and 3 scrambling on final ridge. South pillar looks steep and solid rock, some heather/tree growth on ledges but worth doing. Approach to base is a real slog, though! North face line looks like mostly an easy angled snow gully but there is a leaning wet chimney at the bottom that seemed as if it would be hard. Maybe a good winter line? On the snow. Bear tracks Summit log. Gear Notes: Ice axe, crampons Approach Notes: Cantelon Creek to 580m (rockfall blocks road) then 10km road hike

no it's the last pitch of climbers must be crazy

you mean the 10a, A0 corner out left?

Ya cause that's the 10c pitch of Climbers Must Be Crazy to the right.

smart people are too smart to fuck you anyway with dumb people you have a chance

you sound like you are qualified to step it up to spotting too.

didn't you watch the new Indiana Jones movie? Duh!! i was too busy looking at Cate Blanchett to remember any of the rest of it.

I just bought a #3 down hugger and I think the difference between that and the #5 was 80 bucks for 2 degrees c or something ridiculous like that.

that's sooo unethical rob i bet you'd chip tool placements on an ice climb too!

Yep, Mystery Creek is the way to go. Take Harrison West road to ~30kms and hang a left.

Welcome back, C. You forget your password or what? And yes, we are, like, weird. It's why you luv us. It's my semi-yearly delurking season (sort of like the semi-yearly womens sale at Nordstrom, only different). The rest of the year I watch. And wait. What are the sale prices on women like at Nordstrom's? If you have to ask you can't afford them. The purchase price is the least consideration. The maintenance costs are what will bleed you dry. And the resale value is typically very low. Resale value!?...don't you usually have to pay to get rid of? That's just the beginning. You might be on the hook for years afterwards.

And now, here is a phototopo. From left to right: A - this is a 4 pitch link up. The first two pitches are the climb HIGHWAY 12 (5.9, 5.8). From the top of Hwy 12, scramble up ledges to the start of TWO BEE OR NOT TWO BEE, which is also two pitches long (5.8, 5.10c). Gear to 3", heavy on finger size. B - Kemo Sabe, 5.10c, 1 pitch. 3 bolts plus gear C - Dead Soles, 5.10c. Sporty pitch with 6 bolts. D - First Blood, 5.6. Hand and finger crack. E - Kyle Hudie Route. 10d/11a. Start up First Blood and move right along thin crack to arete. Up arete, bouldery, 4 bolts. F - this is a vegetated scramble/ 5.6 slab pitch with 2 bolts linking the lower tier (Kokanee Slab) to the upper tier (Ecology Ledge). G - Exaggerator 5.10b. Two bolts up a thin slab lead to a pancake-thin laybck flake on a steep wall. H - Land Down Under 5.10a. Thin crack to layback and stemming flake. At top, mantle past bolt on right. I - Oddjob 5.8. Hand crack variation leading right from bottom of LDU and up ramp beyond. Kind of dirty at the moment. J - Life on a Chain 5.11+/12- ? This climb may or may not have been redpointed yet. Very thin climbing past 3 bolts up a narrow flake leads to thin cracks and a slab to the top anchor. Bouldery and tricky clips. Cleaned streaks above routes G-J represent projects that are works in progress at the moment.

The snow has steadily been firming up over the last week or so, but there are still large cornices and persistent weak layers present in some places.

Aha! This is a logic problem the likes of which you may encounter in University, if you make it that far. All snowy rockclimbs are wet. Some rockclimbs that are not snowy are wet. Yak Crack is not snowy. Is Yak Crack wet? for this, you need additional information, presented in the first part of the first sentence. Yak Peak is very wet. Yak Crack is a rockclimb on Yak Peak. Therefore? You, or Mark McKillop, may have to construct a Venn Diagram to prove this one to your own satisfaction.

I'm not surprised that rumr posted a link to news that was over a week old, but I am surprised that kevboned didn't mention that pink climbed elcap at all in his post...

The upper part of Yak Check is soaking wet.
