given the amount of human feces in the enchantments you may as well just crap in your water bottle as drink from a stream there

Climb: Rapid Peak-NE Butt Failed Attempt via Ensakwatch Cr Date of Climb: 8/20/2006 Trip Report: I had this great idea that I would bushwack up Ensakwatch Creek from the Nesakwatch road that comes real close to the border, and then solo the NE Butt of Rapid Peak which looks like a great line from a distance (like on Rexford) Drove up this morning - left car around 6:30 AM Bush is super dense and sucky. Took me 5 hrs to get to below the buttress and 2 hours to climb scree to the base of the route The face is not all granite. The top half is granite and the bottom half is Darrington Phyllite or some such brown and blue choss The buttress is treed at the toe, then 3rd and 4th class for the choss part and then turns into steep clean-loking granite maybe 3 or 4 pitches from the top I realized i was gonna have to bivy if I kept climbing and the climbing wasn't good enough to bivy for, so I bailed in the 4th class part. It took me another 5 hours to bushwack out. This time I stayed high, there was less devils club and slide alder but more bedrock slot canyons and gullies to cross I was descending one of these when I smelled something putrid. It was a fresh kill (deer?) buried under some leaves. I got the fuck out of there fast so I don't know if a bear or cougar had killed it but it was kind of scary anyway. I think if you wanted to climb this buttress (which is apparently unclimbed) you should take bivi gear or fly in. The bushwack is teh suck. I had to crawl on hands and knees through devils club under fallen trees several times On the other hand I saw a herd of seven goats, and a bazillion pikas It's kinda cool and wild in there. It looks like the best descent is to traverse north over Pocket Peak and past Labour Day butt all the way to the Slesse propellor Cairn. Either that or go the other way around via Middle Peak and Mt Cope. The descent option via Pocket lake looked like lots of steep alder Gear Notes: should have had bivi gear, bear spray or gun, and machete Approach Notes: Nesakwatch Road is 4wd/hc to 1.5 km from border swathe then turns to thick alder

There is a sign on da bridge over the Chilliwack River to get to Nesakwatch Creek road saying it will be closed Aug 21-25 while it is removed and replaced. Might make it tricky to get to EITHER Slesse or Rexford during those times. Also the pocket glacier is still there and dropping chunks although enough of it has gone it looks like you can get to the Bypass without needing tools or crampons.

WTF e i thought u were an alpine hero... cross the border!

I bet neither of their boots fit the rescue team either.

Would like to climb this Plan on leaving Chilliwack around 3 or 4 AM. Send PM by 9 oclock tonight

Was he wearing West Pole Brand clothing? I heard that stuff is super durable.

classic pump and dump, share price rises on news scientists are investigating... sell shares to suckers... then scientists say it's bunk and share price crashes, net result is wealth transfer from suckers to you UNLESS they have magnetic monopoles. just think of the wow

There's gonna be something about that in the new AAJ... it's a low-quality 5.4

Hey now, the God of the Jack T. Chick comics doesn't have a white beard. He has a glowing featureless head!

It's called "vendor agreement", where BD will only sell MEC the product if MEC promises not to sell it at cheap prices in the States and undercut the poor American retailers with their poor jacked-up-margins.

I betcha there's lots of oil on Titan, and Europa...

I think it looks fun... theres a big pic of it in Red Beckey too.

Don't let your climate change/peak oil scare ideology blind you to the facts about oil!

I can tell you aren't a geologist either, now, too!

Is that like levelling up in video games?

I can tell you're a chemist and not a physicist

rappelling is aid.

You know, like that midwestern guy who thought he could make the FA on the East Face of Denali cause he'd done a bunch of winter camping.
