  13. Ive had an Arcteryx Squamish hoody for a year or so now. Good deal if you can get them on clearance at the factory.

  15. Boys don't use brains to think anyways. We think with our enormous balls.
  16. CAPRICORN ONE
  17. That's a good attempt. Usually if the snow requires snowshoes it won't be any good for climbing. Hope this weekend is different.
  18. A computer that can't swear is always going to flunk the Turing Test.
  19. Basically, they are two different things, and they work just like jackets do. If you put a synthetic jacket on over a down jacket it makes you warmer - assuming the down isn't squashed flat because the overjacket is too tight. If you put a Goretex jacket on over down it keeps the down dry. It's the same thing with sleeping bags. An overbag is like putting another puffy on. A bivy sack is like putting an uninsulated hardshell on. If you have a down sleeping bag, do you want to make it warmer or do you want to make it waterproof? If warmer, use an overbag. If waterproof, use a synthetic overbag. If both, use both. You can dry out a slightly damp down bag in otherwise dry conditions by putting an overbag over it because the warmth of your body and the way you move the dew point outwards will make some of the moisture move outwards away from the down bag into the synth. You can't do this just with a bivi sack. On the other hand a synth overbag by itself over down in wet conditions (dripping wet snow cave, rain, or even sleeping directly on snow) is not waterproof enough to prevent your down bag from getting wet and becoming useless. First the synth will get wet, then it will make the down wet, then you will be screwed. I hope this answers some of your questions.
  20. More than 10 years afterwards, this is still the raddest thing anyone has ever done in the Coast Mountains - even more so than the teenage Beckeys ticking Wadd. http://mount.ai/n/articles/long-white-line
  21. quoted for posterity. lol
  22. There are no routes listed at all in the Ghost in the 1st ed. for instance. If all you wanna climb is 80s routes like Polar Circus, Nemesis, Weeping Wall, Cascade and Professors the 1st ed would be overkill. Do you even need a guidebook to climb Weeping Wall? On the other hand even the 4th is out of date when it comes to cool stuff like the Rehab Wall in Evan Thomas or an accurate description of the present conditions post-highway blasting at Kicking Horse Canyon. gravsports-ice.com/icethreads will have all the current beta for stuff like that.
