Yup, Cheam NW face, dru's pic: about 2000m of relief. [ 11-20-2002, 09:47 PM: Message edited by: jordop ]

bivy.com will give you a nice Java map if you ask nicely, and they come with blue squiggles for rivers now too. Wallpapered my room with 'em Too bad they don't show alll the big contours

I can't remember if it is before or after Boston Bar. In any event, you can barely see the top of it without sticking your head out of the car window - It starts really low, but it is massive. 1. #1 is on E side of the Fraser before Hope, then W side after. 2. There aren't really any big faces e of the fraser visible from the Hwy between Hope and BB along the olgilvie-spider divide up towards lytton. Maybe you're thinking of that huge slide area on the e side of the Fraser around Yale, Mt Allord I think? Lottsa scree {note: this name taken from dubious Musio Mapbook and does not exist in CDn place name database] However, in the interchange surrounding Hope, a number of interesting faces come into view, maybe one of these is your mystery mtn: 1. Mt Hatfield looking e towards Manning is pretty impressive 2. looking s into the N faces of the cheam range 3. mts grant, isolillock and hope are also visible and are interesting, but by no means huge dunno?

Stefan, when you get to the point where you can weight the ankles (spring?), a DAILY routine of calf raises is essential (start by using a pull up board or something to lean on to take most of the weight) to keep the joint from seizing. Fucking up your ankle has got to be one of the most annoying recovery processes; Vioxx will be your best friend.

yes. I'm not a physio, but do as much as you can to keep leg muscles from atrophying as they can wither away in a remarkably short time and take quite a while to get back. If your health plan covers it, try to get a CT scan on the talus before load bearing. The welfare universal system up here told me to walk on it based on the results of an X-Ray, which only compounded hairline fractures, necessitating surgery to remove unattached talar bits. Keep the sprits up man, it'll get better

a good freeze right about now round here would make some cool stuff with all that melted off freshies. I can see from my house some cool looking melt runnels on the SE sides of the Lions right now.

With the shoulder season in full swing and not much climbing actually getting done, just remember Don't know if that's an alpine kitty, but those are surely some new prototype super-breed of snafflehound currently being developed in the dark of snow caves throughout the PNW.

barely visible in that photo but prominent in the photo in McLane are two very large almost pillar like waterfalls. Man, somebody's got to do those, they look huge.

wassup with those boreal G3 double leathers, looks like they could do double duty this winter. Anybody used 'em?

Just found a book of past issues of the Onion, all except Alpine Kitty from there. Too off colour to resist.

how come my soul patch is all burned at the ends?

there was a great rundown of moderate rock routes in the vicinity of cook in a recent R&I or Climbing (sometime last year). Friends have advised me to take extra gear and sell it down there for a tidy profit, if you can spare the weight!

Ski traverses will get you that same snowslogging numbness epic without a cause feeling

Ruapehu? Isn't that the one right outside of Auckland where you can drive practically to the top?
