Any line there is huzzah worthy!

waiving the right to go after them if they libel you is the most grandiose case of simultaneous corporate asscovering and chestpuffing I have heard all morning

Speed boats make the best accidents. When I was a kid vacationing at an Okanagan Lake, this guy got wasted and went water skiing. He came in to the marina WAAAYY too fast and went right alongside the side of a boat at waist height. Basically cut him in half. Ambulance was 40 mins away, and the only reason he survived was that 1/2 the vacationers were surgeons Now has a scar from his bellybutton to his spine

The "purple" wall seems a more likely location of a climb of any sustained difficulty. It is very compact and quite steep and although most of the time I've walked past it it has been wet, it seems comparatively clean. Yellow wall may have been used as a location shoot for "Jurassic Park" Gully right of Widowmaker looks like an excellent ski descent

Yeah, but you've got red to the left of the actual Crater Couloir, maybe for clarity though. Blue (Barrier) basically climbs the central wall in this photo: which I can see providing a few pitches of real climbing . . . but the supposed top half of blue is basically the slabs Jesse and I climbed; it's all the same angle and no way any harder than fourth/low fifth class. Maybe the roof is on the summit block of the true summit of Crown - I can see that, it's pretty steep for 1/2 a pitch there.

Yeah well you know something aint cricket when a trip report refers to the talus going down into Hanes valley as "a 50 degree scree slope"

One further note. In the 1975 CAJ there is a report of a 10 pitch 5.9 A2 route somewhere around here in the vicintiy of the Widowmaker Arete. Long lost and likely never reapeated. By our judgments some serious drugks would be needed to envision a 10 pitch *wall* on this peak . . .

There is a guy in Pemberton who will pull you out of a ditch with his CAMEL TOWING tow truck

Hey, that's one hell of a last supper. Look closely

What's funny is hearing all these stories about people hiking down the trails in suits after having a meeting up there, or families coming down in the dark after dinner figuring it can't be that bad. They got a guy handing out rave-job GLOW STICKS to people who choose to hike down That family we saw was in for a world of hurt Yeah mibbie it's faster coming up Hanes Valley but then you're shuttling cars and that's all a bit much Never having done that route I can only say it looked like a lots of slide and boulder walking when you could be chatting with 80yr old legends with wooden piolets hiking around Goat Mtn

Climb: Crown Mountain-Crater Slabs Date of Climb: 10/22/2006 Trip Report: Jmace and I climbed the east face slabs of Crown Mtn yesterday in a super fun day out in the local hills. This route rocks as a moderate solo scramble and deserves to be WAY better travelled We hiked the Flint & Feather to start cause we were too cheap to pay for the tram ride up and the Grind smelled like Quick Move people A rough start especially for the Mace fightin back the alckie growlies, but we got to the base of Crown pretty quick and started up the north side gully The crater couloir is wicked fun scrambling up onto the slabs of the east face where the rock is superb and solid. Consistent and challenging 4th class the whole way. We soloed it but it would be a different story if wet. Lottsa lounging and bsing on the summit cause we were so amped at how fast the day was going, but we had heard that the main gondola was down and there would be a lineup to download. Holy sh*t! The lineup was HHUUGEE, proabbly about 3 hrs So after some bacon loading we forced our way down the BCMC trail, passing a Chinese family at about 1/2 way as the sun was going down. They had shopping bags and a 2yr old kid had conked out and was being carried. Probably bivied Good fun super close to home Gear Notes: nuttin Approach Notes: trail from tram to Hanes valley.

Yeah, sounds good except p2 had a fixed line which we just yanked on in the interest of getting down by dark. 5.8 maybe but really short. We found p4 to be consistently about 10a except for that one stinking move with the little branch growing out of a crack which was snot wet. We both slipped on that thing

Health Hazard? 10a

Climbed at the Nicolum Crag yesterday and found it very fun Hwy 12 first pitch is stellar. Things were a bit wet due to recent rain, and there was a fair amount of mud grovelling to get around the area. In fact, we got caught in a Class 2 dirtalanche descending from the crag. Full burial, kinda scary Anyway, we did the 4 pitch Hwy 12 to To Bee . . link-up. Nice varied climbing, especially the last pitch of To Bee which will be a fantastic pitch once the bolting is sorted out. Very cool chimney to crack to face deal Good times, thanks for putting so much time and effort into these routes Ty! There is only one copy of the topo left at Cheyenne Sports, so anybody seeking beta make sure you get them to make more copies.

I wonder what down home pleasant explanation Uncle Sam will give for peacefully liberating his backward nation to the north

what the hells wrong with that
