  1. And will thus never have a guide at all
  2. I think Selkirks South would have been a bit more relevant if it had included the Gold and Valhalla Ranges
  3. BC is well served by the CAj IMO, though I agree that a lot happens in WA that doesn't make it into the AAJ, but which I would like to know about

  7. Hey, i wanna see the Tuolumne drainpipe photo
  8. Armed guards came in an unmarked van earlier this week and removed the New Routes Book at the Co-op, roughing up Richard Wheater and flashing one of those Men in Black phasers at all onlookers
  9. I heard a rumour it's underway

    Patagucci Stretch Speed Ascent. Stupid warm, so I cut the fleece liner out and it's my new ski stretchysoft thingy fer this year. Mtn HWear Chugach Parka. The thing is huge and conduit coating for like Arctic stuff I guess. Hanging on to it in case I ever have to work up north Lowe Superfangs. Make me an offer. Awesome Jeff Lowe retro 80s look
  12. Bah, with the exception of those two corner systems on CR Tower, I think any new routes on that aspect would be a bit contrived. Sure, there's a tonne of rock there and most of it's good, but there's a hell of a lot of larches and dirt. Christ, we couldn't even find the line of Never Enough That bivy below Clean Brick rox though
  13. Why then would Kay call his ascent the FA of the full ridge He does: '91 CAJ: "complete north ridge. FA/FWA February 27/28, 1991"
  14. I talked to some one, can't remember who, and they said the lower part of the ridge was not worthy. They had done it. Maybe as a winter route it is good! That is an awesome photo, thanks. Guy Edwards did it in winter too, apparently. Prob scruffy. Photo is not mine, es de el Sr. Paul Kubik
  15. All turns in the Squa/Chek divide are intoxicated by two-stroke smoke
  16. Ooooo, that second shot is scchveeet!
  17. It should be noted that the FULL N ridge is a much larger climb, one currently on my to-do list, and perhaps quite nice and worthy. Bruce Kay claims the FA and FWA of the full ridge (solo) in '92 I think. The description in Fairley is presumably only the top bit, but considering it is one hour from Chance/Roe Creek FSR, I would suspect that the full ridge had been done before Kay's ascent. I have approached it and it looks quite impressive.
  18. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=48.55844475763411&lon=-120.58799658825651&s=25&size=m&symshow=n&u=0&layer=DRG25 Tower is down and right of the "zero" in "8190" If you're at the base of Clean Break, this tower is the last blip on your left. The route we took followed the obvious skyline (east ridge) of this tower. From Burgundy, this tower would look like a small bullet planted on the ridge protruding east from Vasiliki Ridge. Opportunities for excellent 2-3 pitch lines on this south face; ours was the easiest appearing. Awesome splitters. Our intended line had been the north face of this tower which is split by two gaping, off-width dihedral systems, both of which ended below the headwall of the tower (which we ended up skirting to the south on the route we did). I soloed up the ice patch to the base of the right-hand of the corners with our third tools but could see from the base that the corner systems were alternating 6" cracks and moss filled seams. Maybe a good line for someone with more patience, I dunno. Summit is not listed in Fred and does not appear to have an easy way up. Hard to see how your could get off it w/o rappelling and there was no cairn on top. Oh, and Mike's lead? It's a good thing I couldn't watch because of all the moss falling down. I just hear lots of dry-heaving from Mike when he topped out. Seonding this horror show was a constant "take". A pitch for the ages Got to eat at the famous Casa Que Pasa and listen to Necro go on about the beauty of life and his excitment for the upcoming James Taylor conert at the Key Arena
  19. Cheaper whiskey, actually. Guy figured he could save hundreds a month
  20. Underscore Layton, maybe you're thinkning of the route between the nw and w lines on Pisano that was put up by Fence Sitter (I think?)?
  21. I see that the Chief is once again the second largest granite monolith in the world Didn't it used to be in the British Empire or something
