  2. Here's the first paper o the slide: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2014/1065/pdf/ofr2014-1065.pdf That big orange B slide on the last page makes me cringe.
  3. So Dave says we've got the motions backwards. The first slide was the lower one, it removed support for the upper block, which then rotated. http://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2014/03/28/oso-mechanisms-1/

  5. In Revelstoke, snow chases you. http://www.revelstoketimesreview.com/news/252079441.html
  6. It looks like it started as a big rotation: you can see the trees all fallen over on the intact top block. Then when that hit the lower sediments they fluidized and boom.
  7. It's thick, uncompacted glaciolacustrine sediments with a thin cap of glaciofluvial sand, overlying thick compacted till.
  8. NPR and BBC just reported than in addition to 8 confirmed dead, as many as 108 people are missing.

  17. The Fairley guide suggests climbing as high as the base of the north rib before moving left to gain the NE ridge at the notch, which is similar to what this party did. The Culbert guide shows the line joining the rib at the lower snowpatch. It's doubtless been done both ways multiple times, not to mention starting by climbing directly through the steep lower bluffs rather than outflanking them, which I recall once took a VOC party several hours. I would term any of these ascents as an ascent of the NE ridge.
  18. Yes you would Pete, cause while you Americans are packing your purses with the checklist of 40 essentials, I just stuff some extra awesome in my toque and I'm good to go.
  19. Probably you should buy AT gear when you admit you'll never be cool enough to tele.
  20. The scope gets broader w age... Cougars are cool! If you are in your 40s, she has to be around 65 to qualify as a cougar.
  21. I don't want to chat about the fucking weather and your Viagra prescription; I just want to know if you're available to belay me on my 53rd redpoint burn on Chain Reaction. So fuck calling. Just text me back bro, yes or no.
