You know I changed the "better than" in the original to "but" deliberately, though, right?

Hmm, 2012 good point, I didn't think of that

Chavez re-elected. Hugo still Boss Discuss

he probably went somewhere with no tubes of internet.

So I guess that this Bridal Veil Falls is in WA, even though the one in BC is running just as bad right now.

Trip: Weekend Ice in Hope - Sailor Bar + Jarvis Bluffs Date: 12/3/2006 Trip Report: So after telling everyone that Hope was gonna be "out" and the Canyon was gonna be "in" this weekend it turned out that Hope was in and the Canyon was mostly out. Hmmmm Fern, Chris and Mer came out on Saturday morning. Fern and Chris took off right away & ended climbing the unclimbed curtain above Happy Boy at Goldpan I'll let Fern describe that b/c I just heard Mer's end of the cell phone conversation afterwards. I heard something about a broken pick though Mer and I drove up to Jackass, which had a couple big wet holes. So we drove back to Superheroes Cirque. Ultrawoman looked a bit iffy, so did the unclimbed thing next to it, but SBG was blue and fat so we climbed Sailor Bar Gully. 3 pitches, 2+, 2 and 2, fun climbing though. The second pitch is a ramp in a chimney, fun fun. SBG P2 P3 We finished Saturday off with some roadside bouldering We did a little scouting up the Coq for Sunday, and then drove back to the Wack, where we saw this hotness in the sky So today Shaun came along and we climbed as a party of 3. we headed to Jarvis Bluffs. Shaun was itching for a rematch with NW Passage but the first pitch had fallen apart (actually, whew ) So we climbed Momentary Lapse at the left end of the Bluffs. This is supposed to be a 4 but I didn't want to go up the normal finish because it was a little bit detached and there was wet dirt and cedar roots up there. Instead I made a fun traverse way right that felt more like 3+, and climbed a chimney between ice and rock to a ledge, where the belay ended up being some screws in a cracked icicle, a "bomber" Spectre in a crack and a slung cedar the size of my arm but we did find a better rap anchor thanks to Shaun's Tree Service arborial skills. Double rope seconding Brawl for the final chimney Rap off Shaun does some bouldering Black and White at extreme left, As Seen On TV scary thing in the middle. By the time we got down it was just after noon, and it had warmed p from -3 to +2 and things were wet and melting. We saw a big chunk fall off ASOT. Shaun took off right away, M and I decided all this roadside ice was unnatural so we went for a short bushwack through knee-deep snow and prickle bushes to look at some unclimbed thing that turned out to be only about 15m high, and melting too. Then we called it a day and hit the Blue Moose for espresso I think that's it for this cold spell around Hope but I have high hopes for the rest of the winter Gear Notes: "Bomber" Spectres are mandatory. But in most places you could get 17cm screws in. I could have used some TriCams for the top of Momentary Lapse, but I left them in the car Approach Notes: Drive car to base of ice route and climb, both days :tup:

Climbing will get you through times of no spray but spray will get you through times of no climbing.

Have you considered sitting him on a crazy carpet and towing

That's not skiing... it's flying close to the ground.

Thosere the same traits that would make him an EXPERT snow-tuber. And he already has a little tire around his middle

Got two turntables and a microphone... where it's at.

Google "ergot", chemistryboy. But nowadays they make it out of citric acid and other simple precursors.
