  2. Next time I'm over at your mom's I'll ask her why she never had any children that lived.
  3. You must have at least 1,000 posts to not be a n00b. So wipe that jism off your chin and go back to the pig porn.
  4. you're Tenille?
  5. Maybe I'm just not hitting stuff hard enough with them
  6. How do you bend it back in the middle of the pitch - pound on it with the hammer? Sounds sketchy to me. I'd rather have a good Charlet pick that doesn't bend OR break.
  7. It is supposed to go up from the current -10C in Hope today, to +7C on Friday. Further up the Fraser Canyon towards Lytton, or going to Lillooet, or Pemberton, should stay cold through the weekend.
  8. better bent than broken You can file a break but what do you do with a bend but throw out the pick
  9. Hope is the last thing to come out of Pandora's Box.
  10. Trip: Hope - Frost Heave (WI2+ R) - F.A Date: Today Trip Report: So I drove out to Hope today to meet my friend Justin Brown. Justin has done rock and alpine climbing but never water ice. He showed up with a pair of old straight-shafted Grivels with tied webbing leashes. "Ok, let's climb something easy. Warm up, first route of the season, yup!" So pretty much everything in Hope is in and fat right now except for Rickets. JLTR is quite big. Moustrap is solid. But we headed over to the gas pipeline crag on the north side where there is this big low-angle flow set up that I had only seen formed once before. On close examination the big flow does not really touch down, it vanishes into some turf about a pitch up. But a subsidiary flow on the left ran up to more or less the same height so we thought maybe we could climb that and traverse over. JB at the bottom This thing had a short steep start (WI2+) and then a long slabby section with some turf and scary thin ice (WI2R). I had a couple of 10 and 13cm screws mostly in and one tied off 16cm halfway in . At the top there was a comical mantle onto a huge moss blob and then a traverse left to a belay tree (40m). Justin finishing the pitch into the bushes. Getting across to the rest of the ice looked kind of sketchy with some snow-covered prickle bushes and bare slabby granite to contend with, also Justin had just bent the tip of his Grivel at 45 degrees So we decided to call it a day. Descent was a walkoff to climbers left down a ramp. Fun fun Hope might not be in by this weekend because of this warm front coming in but it should still be in tomorrow if you need an ice fix cxlose to Bellingham or Vancouver. Like I said, pretty much everything is in and climbable at Hope*. Bridal Falls area is still forming, only Never a Bridge and the Fox/Webb looked climbable. Bridal Falls itself was running in the middle, Decent Divorce was not touching down on the middle pillar, and White Wedding had 2 or 3 icicles waiting to touchdown. Easy Intro was in but really chandeliered. There was some unclimbed stuff in and fat by the Diviner and Hunter Creek looked fat and sassy except Medusa looked a bit thin at the bottom (maybe harder than 4 right now?) Seabird is in. Tailwind is in. * Hells Lake Falls is forming, looked too thin to lead but could be toproped? Gear Notes: Stubbies Warthogs for turf if you have them Strong rated picks (I can never remember if B or T are the thicker ones) Approach Notes: Drive Highway 7 east from Hope and park at the gas pipeline. Walk back on the gated road on the north side of the slough about 200m to the obvious roadside ice.
  11. Una's Tits?
  12. PS my oldest screamer is 13 years old...
  13. Don't bother with a testing machine. You got a couple right? Test ONE. Clip it to the rope with a quicklink, clip it to a big beefy bolt with another quicklink, and give it a good Factor 1 fall with a backpack of rocks dropped from above the bolt. If it holds that the other ones are still good. If it breaks retire the other ones. And post the video of the test to YouTube!
  14. Try a men's boot but not the rentals.
  15. You might have a foot but all Bob needs for a good time is 5"
  16. I'm going ice climbing tomorrow but I could never climb with anyone that only puts one D in Wednesday
