WHOAH< you watched Lynn Hill belay!!!!!!111111 omg!

you've been stringing the dude along with steamy IM for 6 months but don't want to meet in person? hmmmm.

Nobody can verify that the speed of light has remained constant over the entire lifespan of the universe, either, but this is best explored in an independent paper rather than being discussed as a potential source of error in an astronomical study of quasars, for instance. Likewise with discussion of hypothetical changes in the decay rate of isotopes wth respect to estimating geological age. Such speculation adds nothing.

Stone tools can be dated by several methods. The ones I remember off the top of my head are: 1) age of sediment layer the tool is found in; 2) any residues (as you mention) or lichen growing on the surface of the tool 3) cosmic rays can change the isotopic composition of the surface layer; comparing the knapped surface to the interior of the tool, or an unknapped to a knapped face, can estimate the age of the knapping; 4) for freshly extruded volcanic obsidian, the age of the rock itself may represent an upper bound Using these and other methods, several independent estimates of age can be made, and the overlap in estimates is usually the best constraint as to actual age.

went out today to do some soloing, route chosen near Hwy 7 was in the sun, got to the base, 1/3 of it fell off (but fortunately missed me), decided i didn't feel like soloing, came home.

The fear of death is the start of control. skull

OMG, what is it with fat cats and Gresham? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003523188_tubbytabby13.html Seems like "Goliath" is really Hercules.

The old rec.climbing joke about marking your rope middle with cat pee has finally been scientifically tested: http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/scene/beta/qc_kp.php Note however that this test used human urine. Cat urine is significantly harder on a rope according to unverified sources.

I changed YOUR MOM's opinion pretty good last night 8D

CAT PEE DESTROYS NYLON!!! omg that stuff is dangerous now. toss it out

Trip: Fraser Valley - Roadside Ice FAs Date: 1/13/2007 Trip Report: So yeah, it's cold. Everything is pretty much kinda sorta in. Except for Bridal Falls, which ain't. But Decent Divorce and Never a Bride are. We went to Jarvis Bluffs. Shaun and Dwayne tried NW Passage. Wes and I tried something new on the left side of the NW Passage bluff. Wes and I climbed this rig in three pitches: 60m WI2, 35m WI3, 35m WI3. Tree belays. Soaking wet. Route is now named "Liquid Crystal". Could maybe squeeze a WI4 out of it by climbing direct on all 3 tiers. Descent via walk down on climbers' left. No raps. Approach 15 minutes of scree. 150m left of NW Passage and 150m right of Another Day. Pretty obvious from Highway 5 when driving by and scoping. Looking up p1 Wes on P3 So Shaun and Dwayne tried NW Passage and the first pitch was running with water. Then they tried mixed climbing left of NW Pass to reach some ice up high on the open face, but the gear was shite and Shaun didn't have any baby angles, so they bailed off a one-nut anchor or something scary like that. After we were all done and back at the car it was only noon-thirty so we went looking for a consolation prize for Shaun and Dwayne. I remembered some unclimbed roadside ice past Trojan Horse so we drove over and it was there. About 3km past Trojan Horse and maybe 300m before the Sasquatch boat launch day-use area fork in the road, at an abandoned roadside gravel pit.. A lot of the ice was thin but Shaun led this small pillar of chandeliery ice above a thin slab. WI4ish. 30m. I don't know what he finally decided to call it. Approach = 1 minute from parked car. Gear was shite for most of the route. Belay and rappel from tree. Wes and Dwayne TR'ed it. I did not because all of my gear was still frozen solid from the other route. The new route on the right and unclimbed thin ice on the left, from the road. Shaun stemming on the crux pillar. Gear Notes: Car, stubbies, GoreTex, baby angles for unclimbed mixed line. Approach Notes: Drive to base, roadside routes. Bring a car.

Reading the Necronomicon while watching Re-animator is pretty fun.

Go to Squamish or Whistler. Not Hope.

Fixed lines are.... you know the rest.

Washburn photos are the gold standard.

There's some rad looking unclimbed? stuff in on a bluff about 15km north of Campbell River, on your right as you drive north...

Get a diesel FJ and switch to bio. Best of both worlds.

Some pitches are better than others and that's what stars are for. Think of the Smith guide.
