Also roughly = the number of people who think people used to ride a Brontosaurus to church on Sundays

I biked by shortly after 1PM, and there must have been a couple hundred people standing in line. It started raining 20 minutes later, so that might help move the Gore-Tex. Farking ridonkulous

Tres nifty boyeez!

I still think FUCKSTEEL would have been more accurate!!!

why is Mt Seymour Prov Park any different than Chief or Bugs for bolting and cleaning, or is it in h20shed?

Like with so much of psychiatric medicine, I'm sure there is a difference of opinion on that*. I think of "addictive personalities" as people who regularly practice obsessive behaviors, and who use things--food, alcohol, drugs, sex--to escape and not face the realities of their lives. Often when they manage to stop one addictive behavior, they replace it with another**. I know that. But they are rarely used for eating disorders like obsessive eating. They need to be. * I'm not trained in psychology or psychiatry--merely talking from my life experience. ** I'm not talking about the middle-aged person whose metabolism slows and they gradually put on a few pounds a year, or people who gain weight from taking a certain medication or from lying around with a broken leg, etc. I'm referring to obese people who constantly think about food, like my mother, who uses food to medicate herself, if you will. They are like bulimics, only they don't purge--they just become obese. .

Garibaldi from the NE is straightforward snow, with only the bergschrund to worry about later in the year. When climbing from Elfin Lakes, the SE face (easy snow) tops out on the plateau from whence the actual summit is 30m of steep dirt in summer or waterice in spring. Sting in the tail on an easy climb.

Scuzzy once built an anchor out of two aliens on the E face of Despair near Wadd and then Stemalot ran it out on 30 meters of 5.10 o/w with no pro above the alien anchor.

Just stay at the cabin and you don't have to take a tent - camping below the E face of Atwell in hot summer sun might get some rock/snowfall. Summit is only ~2-3 hours from base of Atwell E face anyway . . .

I'd take skis until July.

Yeah but the great thing about 5m of 7mm is that you can use it for rescue hauling, you can use it for crevasse extractions, you can use it for prussics, you can throw it over a boulder, you can throw it over a bollard, you can untie it to thread behind a chockstone or icicle, and you can leave it behind cause it don't cost no thing. Drawbacks aside, the cord's versatility outweighs its seemingly minor drawbacks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!!!!!!

MOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9977632

Whatever, there's gonna be wicked FRESHIEZ on Matier et al on Sunday. Anything above 2200m and it's still ski season suckas.

Trip: Downton Chronicles Part XII - Endless Run in the Season that Won't End Date: 5/26/2007 Trip Report: JMace and I went looking for some steep couloirs last weekend and though we got snowed on and ended up doing some moderate snow scrambling instead of real climbing, we spotted this killer deal on the drive out: The thing looked like one of the best runs I'd ever seen. On the map it was 2500' from summit to treeline. I've explored pretty much the enitre Downton now, climbed pretty much all of the 26 odd peaks that encompass the 40 odd kilometers of alpine ridges that cirlce the headwaters, but never really thought about the skiing in there. Layton and I had climbed this thing a few years ago while trying to enchain the whole traverse, and I vaguely rememebred some cool ski stuff back there. Surprisingly, PB and KT were down on this, seeing just how far this ridiculous ski season could be extended. After only about 20 mins of carrying our skis we were skinning up through open timber and into the bowls. Amazing ski terrain. The run looked killer, but the weather wouldn't fully clear. We couldn't get up the final summit chute due to crazy ass winds and blowing snow, so we gave 'er from the NW shoulder: The run goes in about 3 main parts. Off the upper bits: Then into the main parts of the slope: And then the final bottom third which is this wicked twin bobsled run on morainal drainages, PB and KT each coming down different sides: Skied right down back into the cut block, 20 mins hiking to car. This run is freakin incredbile, on par with Cayoosh N glacier for sure. Peak is unnamed, ski season is still all upons

They must be taking a tantric dinner break cause it's all quiet now. Keef Richards once reportedly flushed a pile of coke down the toilet backstage at a Stones concert when his manager rushed into the room and told him, "Keith, the POLICE are here!"
