You would have had a much shorter drive if you had gone to Jasper via Barrier/Blue River. I am guessing you went to Banff via Revelstoke. It is exactly 7 hrs from my house to the parking lot at Mt Robson, but about 10 to Banff.

Take em back. If they're that loose now, you're gonna be swimming in them a year from now when they're all packed out. You should NOT be able to crank all the buckles down. If ya can straight outta the box they aint the right size

I highly doubt that kick wax would have any effect on the grippiness of skins. Plus, if it's wet enough that your skins are glopping, you'd need klister. Glopstopper is a bit softer than household paraffin (which works great for hot waxing if you're cheap!), but you probably won't notice a difference. First hand experience only two days old reports that 1. Ordinary wax can be used as skin wax quite readily. No discernible difference. 2. Kick wax will greatly fuck up skins and will probably cause GREATER snow build up. Kick wax has a narrow (sub freezing) window of usage -- I went from -5 to +5 to -5 within about 3 hours on Sat. I waxed at the start and after going thru water then back to cold snow, my skis with kicker wax on em were pickin up freshies like shit on wool

Kurt sez you suck

My WFA course years ago spoke of the benefits of yellow dishwashing gloves for this purpose

Let him go, he just thinks he's gonna score huge on a FWA tomorrow, so he's all gunned up. Hehehe. Little does he realize how far he's gonna hafta ski cause the roads got more snow on it than he knows Have fun!!!! (wheras I wil acutally be havin REAL FUN here:

climbing a variation is not repeating the route and although 3 or 4 routes have now been climbed on the face, no one has repeated the simpson/yates. duh? [duh]you didn't answer my question[/duh]

Otay, a real question: who did they get to do the axshun climbing shots. looks as if they actually were on Siula Grande, so how high did they go (did they summit?) Movie says the route is unrepeated, but didn't Buhler do a line thereabouts called "Avoiding the Touch" a few years back

That page is a perfect resource for new route names on the Wine Spires at WA pass!!!!!

See latest issue of High Mountain Sports

Looks like the latest "ice" route on the Aiguille du Midi that climbs a three pitch line of frozen shit from the outhouse at the top "A summer ascent remains one of the largest challenges in all the Alps"

Too bad that thing only got like 4 lines in the CAJ

I had visions of you guys shut down for days (or biting it in that massive avi slope in Gravell Creek) Way to push on Now you gotta do that whole thing and link 'em!

There was alpine ice everywhere when this photo was taken, WTF Huh, well three of the hardest mofos on this site have PMed me asking for details. They know squat, obviously Another "snow" line for the believers:

Ooo, I dunno, looks near vertical near top: Shit, if it's WI3, then I could do it
