You guys just weren't trying hard enough, that's all

Dunno if you all south of the line got hit by a week-long inversion like Vantown did, but a good bit of alpine water ice fell down/rotted out anyways, so the 3000m freezing level is only the icing on the gâteau.

What I find so fascinating is how this has recently come to such prominence all of a sudden, despite the "issue" being a minor, lingering story for years. After Kyoto was tossed around and tossed out, why is it now such a critical point on both sides of the border so that it now easily trumps national security as the "big deal". These things snowball in such brutal and magical ways . . .

Firckin rad. Especailly the cotton tshirt in january.

Yah! Go get that mofo!

May I suggest:

I remember driving hwy 93 south of the MT line somewhere in ID between salmon and challis maybe and driving through a big canyon. Does anything ever form up there or is this some famous place I don't know about cause I'm a total n00b about ice in those parts?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

yeah, but the extensive glaciation makes up for the patahucchi brahs!

"CAN SOMEONE HELP ME I HAVE THREE CHILDREN IN MY CAR!!!!"

Water's too sofft, too

Sobriety is aid you godamnned holodecker.

Steve tried hard to get the pillar section to go, but couldn't get committed: ice is pretty white and airy there. Still, the "rambly" thing on the left was actually pretty awkward - steeper than it looked!

That was the plan but it was so warm we were belaying in tshirts. Thoes icicles were coming off pretty bad, wiping out the skis, etc. Very nice potential though with good edges and sidepulls . . . extended TR sessions off bollards are fun, too

Yeah but you can also put some windowlicker's name in and get a reputable person by mistake

Trip: Mt Seymour Ice - Date: 1/13/2007 Trip Report: Stemalot and I climbed a nice bit on the east face of the First Peak on Seymour on Sat. About 10 mins from top of lift. All this stuff was done back in the 70s, but I haven't heard of anyone doing this one lately. I think this is right above the ice climbed by Ian Bennet et al a few weeks ago: http://www.westcoastice.com/Page90.aspx So I guess you could get 2 pitches of ice in right now pretty damn close to home. Should stay good to go this week. No anchors at top - belay off tied-off facets and surface hoar.

If they cleared that summit of Slesse they would have hit one of the Border Peaks unless they managed to bank hard north up Tamihi, but that's too much like talking about Mt. Hood

Best thing to do after eating breakfast at the Tomahawk is to then go to Honey's Donuts in Deep Cove and have like 3 or 4 of their so-called "donuts", which are basically the size of softballs. I did this once and I think it took a few years off my life like when they stuck that guy on that torture machine in The Princess Bride

I don't think Bush should be allowed to use words he doesn't know the meaning of on national TV. It's just cruel, like when you were 12 and you made your little brother say "fuck".

I only go for a First Winter Ascent (FWA) if the contours are overhanging. I scope this in the maproom before I head out.

Maybe you should just quit climbing cause climbing sucks anyway.
