  1. there are some good roof problems in Sea Lion Caves but the smell and noise are a bit off-putting and the holds can be slippery
  2. Fringes on buckskin sickie
  3. I can recognize you because although you might be a California outdoorsman, you ain't no Idaho outdoorsman.
  4. Next year. Post monsoon. I'll be there.
  5. this. rope will be cut by 5 kn.
  6. Squamish RCMP are looking for witnesses. It sounds like you are one of the few people who may actually have seen the event. Please give them a call if you haven't already: contact numbers here http://squamish.ca/our-services/protective-services/rcmp/
  7. What's the cover route?
  8. I think the bail anchor you mention might be from the winter attempt.
  9. None of the west face routes are in AS because they we all put up after AS came out. So, no there isn't.
  10. Q: What is the difference between a Mountain Guide and bonds? A: Bonds will eventually mature and make money.
  11. Q: What is the difference between a rooster and a Mountain Guide? A: The rooster clucks defiance.
  12. Pocket Glacier slid off probably on friday. Reports had it there Thursday and gone Saturday. Bare rock to the bypass, but still a few remnant chunks lurking up to climbers left to watch out for and run under.
  13. Q: How do you know when a Mountain Guide is at a party? A: Don't worry. He will let you know.
  14. For that matter isn't it better to have the rap route NOT down the climb on busy routes?
  15. We drove by your truck the night before I think. Good to hear you made it through, the icefalls we saw the day before gave me no desire to do the approach until the glacier slides.
  16. Regular belay devices don't work worth shit on skinny cord. Even the Reversino isn't much good on 5mm.

  18. I was up on the Illusion Peaks yesterday. Pocket Glacier was actively calving, the debris hits the lip at he Buttress Toe, and some goes over the lip to the lowest bowl. Average frequency of about once an hour but some were as close together as 15 minutes. You can see the very nasty upper serac on the Pocket Gl Marc-Andre talked about in his recent TR. Getting across this to get on the Bypass ramp looks sketch plus to me. North Slesse Gl is calving from the bottom, which threatens the right side approach to the buttress toe. However we also saw one upper serac collapse which put a pile of blocks very close to where you get onto the North Rib. Both were most active between about 9 AM and 4 PM. Overview Pocket Glacier aka Bypass Gl., annotated North Slesse Gl., annotated Both glaciers, with zones of significant icefall during the day drawn in. Yikes!
  19. digging up the spray posts of a guy who killed himself is real, real class Bill. I bet you masturbate to pictures of dead babies
  20. It's the end of the old water pipe from the Mamquam. They couldn't go over because they'd lose too much head - so they had to go through.
  21. Yeah Marc, one day you'll be 50ish and look back fondly on when you could get it up twice in a day solo
  22. A special friend in Bend To entertain in your rear end Time to bend over and kiss the sky
