And the Rupal Face is on..... Mt Si?

And "There is no such thing as bad publicity".

Well, famously, DeskDriver and his Canadian buddies found a pack fulla gear while retreating off da Rupal Face.

ken4ord's genetic mutations are beginning to be discovered! next up will be when he crossbreeds some snaffle genes into the hippopotamus, so they can climb trees like a squirrel

Yeah, maybe a dingo ate him

But then the dead remains of all the fossilized Albertans will themselves be tapped for energy by intelligent cockroaches, millions of years from now.

You can still tightrope walk. Just not slackline

Four? Skinner Herr Scholtfeldt (sp?) Wallstein

Maybe they will apply that "see no other party" standard to Hood and Rainier next.

I wonder if they BLOG using taxpayer's dollars too?

That's only true if you assume oil is really from fossils. Most EROEI calculations are nothing more than someone's opinion given numbers. Ethanol is a good case in point. Depending whose study you read it is either highly efficient or massvely inefficient. Show me two studies from different authors whose numbers agree and I might start to take them more seriously. A mix of odd points. The best current source of ethanol is from waste, which is complementary rather than competitive with food production. It's true about tar sands and water, though. Alberta will run out of water long before it runs out of oil. You can already get or mod plug-in hybrids with range of over 100km before they burn a drop of gas. Around here, those plug-ins are getting all their energy from hydro and natual gas turbines. If I had one of those I'd be using less than 50L of gas a month. What, all of them? With 40% efficient solar power you could run the whole US energy grid off a 10 mile square patch of Arizona desert. Based on current trends in solar cell efficiency that's about 10 years off. Yeah, but how many trains go door to door? Lots of tech articles on the site I linked if you look for them. Many academics, oil industry insiders, etc writing for that site and very detailed technical discussions.

Pof!

Too bad with all that time you spend with your hand on your stick, the automatic still outperforms you

Was the guy you were climbing with named Adrian McNair by any chance?

The Economist table was a double bar with tax and raw cost. Their conclusion was that low fuel taxes in the US were promoting wasteful overconsumption.

Wow, a 1982 automatic. Yeah, modern automatics must be much less efficient, because they were 25 years ago.

so move to venezuela and drive a yugo on hugo!

And in French, it's "pof".

This is data for school, and I'm at work now !

My impression from driving an automatic is that I get better gas mileage. Most stick shifts are driven by older guys with Freudian issues and the 'fuel economy' myth is just there for rationalization of their libidinous impulses.

I'm crunching data on Saturday Hopefully in Squamish on sunday!

"Rock climbing or similar activities". No sit starts! No rappelling!

Can you draw a topo of your so called new route for me. I think it may have already been climbed.

Tax driving in cities, like London does, and see how much better the transit system gets.

RuMR, I heard your talent, fitness, and ability left a long time ago.
