  1. No, Tahini Road takes you to Mt Falafel
  2. Oh, and the Shortcut Creek spur in the summer is gettin real bad too. Friend broke an axle last year
  3. You can call Squamish forest office, but there's a massive slide on that road in the area of Buck that doesn't melt out until July. Seriously. If you went up there in May, the slide is about 200m across and 20 ft deep. This point is too far away from the start of the A-E traverse to make it worthwhile. I haven't heard of anyone doing this trip in the last few years since the slide started gushing. Too bad, I'd love to. Some folks on bivouac.com have pointed out the possibility of starting the traverse from the Elaho side of things, but this would be a bit exploratory I think. You could always start at Buck, go to Porterhouse and then come back. Best of luck
  4. I now have Thursdays off and I would be totally in to it, were it not that I crushed a finger yesterday in a 6am Chilliwack ditch/road work issue
  5. Awright, from the 86 CAJ. I guess I'm the only one here who has it . . . North ridge of Stuart w. gendarme to Sherpa, Argonaut's west ridge, Colchuk & Dragontail via walk ups, west ridge of Prussik
  6. So say someone is planning a traverse and wants to pre-place some food and be sure that it's gonna still be there in a month . . . anybody tried to make bear/rodent-proof containers themselves? What works, if anything?
  7. Evolution??
  8. There's something about the west side of the Sierras. I've spent good time on the east side and tho the climbing is good, there's just something visually magnetic in the air around Kernville and the Needles. One of the few places I have yet encountered where I would be emotionally happy living for a long time
  9. IN an article in the Gobe and Mail today, freaky genius artist Matthew Barney says his most favourite place on earth is: Stanley, Idaho No shit, I can see why
  10. Smith? Huh? Sure it's cool and I luv it, but it's never had a "spiritual" effect on me because of 1. People 2. Lack of "wilderness" This place trips my bones: This place feels powerful in its lack of history and the overriding sensation that it SHOULD be more known, like what you're witnessing is a cresting wave:
  11. A friend did basically the same injury as you Darin and was very proactive about rehab, was in top form within 4-5 months. Biking uphill was the key as it is relatively low impact and builds calf muscles well. So, a quick diagnosis allows for a speedy recovery ( I had to wait 3 months for a CT scan while I withered away). Proactive rehab is key. The most important thing though is what happens to balance in an ankle injury. I am STILL fighting to regain balance four years after my break. I had two stupid, idiotic snow falls when I returned to mtneering after my break; my aknle just lost its sense of balance. Tougher to regain than pure muscle mass. All the best dude!
  12. For sale, BRAND NEW EIGER . . .no just kidding Of course, picked these up at the TNF ass-up-their-heads sale, now I'm wondering: 1.WTF they're good for 2.Will I get mugged for them cause they're so blingy 3. How the FUCK to fit them/get them on Help?
  13. low in the wins
  14. How come there's no bumper curtains
  15. If that's where I think it is . . . good freakin luck
