Is "back peddling" anything like "influence pedalling"?

Umm.. cause East Timor is its own country now?

Trip: Behind Yak Peak - FA Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen WI3+ 90m Date: 3/16/2008 Trip Report: winter isn't over just yet Don, Graham, Jesse and I got a hot tipoff from Chris Link of the Coquihalla avalanche crew that there was ice at the back of the Falls Lake basin behind Yak Peak. We skiied in and climbed a nice 2-pitch WI3+, fat blue pillar now called "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen". To the right of this route there is a broad curtain with lots of potential slabby ice lines - like a 80m high, 200m wide sheet of continuous blue and gray ice. Avy hazard from above. There are also at least 3 separate 2-pitch nice looking mixed lines up corners and gullies choked with narrow veins of ice. If you haven't worked off your winter ice stoke yet this would be a good place to go get some over the next few weeks. It snowed on us all day. The spindrift was pretty ridiculous at times on our route, and the climb sort of felt like being stuck in the rinse cycle on a washing machine filled with powder snow. Pretty alpine ambiance. Gear Notes: A bunch of screws and draws. Approach Notes: Ski west from Falls Lake off Coquihalla Highway about 1km to find the north-facing ice on the south side of the valley.

Did the US economy notice when all those no blood for oil people in other countries stopped buying American to protest the Iraq war? No? Then will China notice if you stop buying Chinese over Tibet, or anything else?

I quit spraying 20 years ago. This is my "10th step".

yeah, that's what spin doctors get paid for.

see what happens when you remove the centre of your life

this is the best reason for the more experienced/better climber to go second.

How often are upgrades released?

It's been done quite a few times. First one was in the 70s.

Crap crags actually used to be a pretty good route in the early 80's (sadly before I was climbing) That's a lie. Crap Crags was a piece of shit ever since the day it was first climbed. But in the 70s before gardening, so was most every other climb in Squamish - dirty and full of bushes. The only difference is that some of those routes like Diedre cleaned up into quality. Crap Crags on the other hand is a zone of inherent weakness and contains fridge-sized loose blocks ( a friend in the early 90s got 3 broken ribs when a block in the top chimney came off onto his chest) and gravelly crap. You cannot make this into a good route by removing some bushes. If all the veg was gone Crap Crags would be just like the oatmeal pitches on Yak.

This is the one I was thinking of. I heard it is pretty good. http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/Canada/British_Columbia/NorthWest/Exchamsiks_Valley/Salvus_Dome/Moonraker_63924.html

Maybe I'm thinking of the Exstew or the Exchamsiks then. I wish we could use BC river names for Scrabble words...

Isn't there some 12 pitch route on the Ecstall wall written up on rockclimbing.com crag database?

What if he sold some peanut M&Ms or Reece's Pieces to a kid with a peanut allergy

Maybe.

Lyle has some aerial oblique photos.

There is no ice on Mt Pope according to my local informant. I'll be up there weekend after next for a closer look.

you're making some pretty broad assumptions with 2-4

I went to Multnomah Falls after my course got out and it wasn't frozen enough to climb

I'm at PSU. Show up or throw up. Forecast looks like wednesday will be dry enough for cragging?
