It's too hot to climb any roped routes right now. Go bouldering till 3 PM then swim in a lake till sundown. Then go solo Diedre in search of booty.

SQUAMISH NEWS: Cobra Crack Climbed!
G-spotter replied to David Trippett's topic in British Columbia/Canada
From gripped.com June 27, 2006 - Trotter Climbs the World’s Hardest Crack Canada’s own Sonnie Trotter has freed one of the most coveted crack testpieces in North America, Squamish’s Cobra Crack. It had been attempted by many of the world’s hardest climbers, most recently by Swiss crack master Didier Berthod. Trotter tried the route 30-40 times over three years. He says “The rating seems to be falling in around the 5.14b/c mark. It deserves a variable grade because of it's thin nature. For some, the climb may feel like 5.14a/b, for others the climb may feel like 5.14c/d and on some rare occassions it could very well be impossible. So, for now, it's certainly the hardest pure crack climb in the world. Cobra is 30 m long, with the crux pulling over the lip around the 2/3 mark. It involves huge dynamic throws between one and two finger locks, pain is ever present and the mental crux is overlooking the pain move after move. The redpoint crux comes over the lip on a slippery side pull, the feet are next to nothing and it takes momentum and a huge throw to latch the final edge, at which point you're about 15-20 feet about your last piece of gear; it's really exciting.” -
chris said it was 2wd to 1 km from the end.

ooh yeah, they're gonna be really mad that people know there is a speed trap and are slowing down and not breaking the law! that's the same reason they arrest traffic reporters for reporting where the speed traps are on the radio

So if he's 42, but he remembers being 45 right now, then he probably remembers the future. You should ask him for some stock tips, or who the hot jockey in the 8th race is

It probably wasn't Squamish SAR who know what they are doing, but rather some podunk SAR team from a rural nowhere where machismo isn't dead, just manners.

The way you look at my nuts is scary

This is the music of greater transition To the invisible space age The music of the past will be just as tiny in the world of the future As earth itself is in the vast reach of outer space Outer space is big and real and compelling And the music which represents it must be likewise The music of the future is already developed But the minds of the people of earth must be prepared to accept it The isolated earth age is finished And all the music which represents only the past Is for museums of the past and not for The moving panorama of the outer spaceite program. The Space age cannot be avoided. * The greater future is the age of the Space Prophet, The scientific airy-minded second man: The prince of the power of the air. The air is music. The music is power. * Imagination is a magic carpet Upon which we may soar To distant lands and climes and even go beyond the moon To any planet in the sky. If we came from nowhere here Why can't we go somewhere there? * I'm gonna unmask the Batman And lookout Robin, ain't nothing you can do, If you don't lookout, I'm gonna unmask you too Can't you see the expression on my face I'm gonna do what the joker couldn't do I'm gonna unmask the Batman. * The Satellites are spinning/A better day is breaking Great happiness is spending/The planet Earth awakening The Satellites are spinning/A better dawn is breaking The galaxies are waiting/For planet Earth's awakening. We sing this song to a great tomorrow We sing this song to abolish sorrow ...

Climb: Sun God-North Face Date of Climb: 6/25/2006 Trip Report: Chris Kiely and I climbed this on Sunday. With a 2 AM start from Squamish, we were on top by nine. Right now the face is nothing more than 30 to 40 degree snow except right at the top where the last 100m or so push up to 40-45 and the last 10 meters over the cornice are maybe 50 degree. I dunno if it would get Alpine F or Alpine PD but it sure is easy and fun too. The total elevation gain from the car is >1100m of which about 600m is "climbing" and the rest is "approach". I've never heard of any ascents of this face as a climbing objective but judging by the tracks we saw all the chutes on the face get climbed and skiied. Although it's kind of suncuppy now it will be in good shape for both climbing and skiing for a couple more weeks before it melts out to rubble. This was good enough that I would do it again if given the opportunity. Gear Notes: Crampons, two tools but could do it with one Approach Notes: 2wd to 17km on Tenquille Creek Road; last spur to face is 4wd... road runs all the way to moraine, less than 5 minutes of bushwacking gets you on snow at base of route.

Wasted 10 years of my life on RPGs If I had been climbing instead I'd be more bad ass than Sharma or Colin
