Please put your soul back in the cage where it belongs.

There was nothing to miss, it never happened. Also, the ski in is not that bad. For one, you can usually drive at least SOME of the distance in, especially in spring. A 3 hour ski in, a one hour ski out, and you need a snowmobile

Hey you better go correct Alpinist, I see they have fallen prey to your irritation too! http://www.alpinist.com/the_climbing_life/ Keep on fightin the Coast Mountain Battle!

Couloirs are probably all unconsolidated freezer shavings; the massive melt last week didn't really do much up there. From the North Joffre-8 mile col on Sunday, there was very litle ice visible; up high only tiny hanging daggers, at/below treeline was still running water if you can believe it/despite recent temps.

The route is called " 6 dumbasses go looking for early season ice and despite predictions that melts would have killed everything, the opposite was true and freezer shavings abounded resulting in said dumbasses bouldering the crap out a very cool glacial fragment that calved off" Here is how you train for ice bouldering:

There is TOTALLY ice up in the hills right now. Sick shit goin down

"MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!" "There's some lovely filth down here!" "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!" "Nobody's gonna see these pictures, right?" "This look infected to you?" "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING" "No way, you thought that pitch was 10dR too?" "Go ahead, try and sue me." "Godamnit that's itchy." "PBR?" "How many body fluids do you think I could sell?" "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!" "PBR!!" "I SAID, MY A SPOON IS TOO BIG!" "Jesus, how'd I get scurvy?" "Get that fuckin newscopter outta my face!" "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!"

Jesus, are those bloody Koflachs

Jesus Christ there is probably like 3 metres of new snow right now on Baker. If you do not understand this "ski" thing and want to swing your tools right now I think you could expect: 1. A slog something like "Alive" or maybe one of the Crusades 2. Excavating 3m of fluff to find ice 3. A quiet asphixiating death

I bet the skiing is probably great

New Nepal Evos look like the sweeet answer to this problem. Way liter

Very cool one up by Waddington on Hall Peak:

i thought i was the only one that happend to Naw, I ALWAYS have trouble findin the stage. the groupies and the handlers usually point me in the right direction after I stumble around for a bit

I'm too drunnk to leave. couldn't find the way out if I tried I think it would kinda be like that scene in Spinal Tap where they can't find the stage . .

Exactly same fabric too Some good points here, though I have found, paradoxically, that the $90 China outsourced Trango Guides PMS sold me to be about the best approach shoe I have ever worn, WAY more durable than their $350 Italian bretherens. I think the vast majority of China crap is just that. However, a friend of mine who sources maufacturing for a local climbing soft goods company tells me that quality shit CAN be made there, you just have to seek it out and demand it. I wouldn't expect these things to last like a pair of premium Scarpas . . . NOTHING lightweight lasts, no matter who makes it. Synthetic Kevlar BS will always fall apart.

$199 holy shit Jesus, that's sounds like a good deal, 1/2 price Kayland M10s

I'm still pissed that Canada didn't allow Olestra on the market. I wanted to see that anal leakage stuff happen to people on the street like some bad party trick

Unqualified Successes of George W. Bush's Two Terms in Office (So Far)

Anyone know what the thinking and logic is behind the half-assed hoods in some of the new jackets. I see this in the MEC Hyjinx and a few others across the market. The hood has an "urban cuff" and doesn't really cover the face very well.
