  1. My hats off to her for being able to do it at such a young age. My biggest worry for anyone so young accomplishing so much is the letdown afterwards. What can top that? Sure, the second highest peak list, but I mean in other peoples eyes and their expectations. Nothing will beat this.

     

    It will take a strong person to be able to live their own life now and appreciate their accomplishments without losing sight of even more personal and rewarding ones that lie ahead. It's like the person that earned a million dollars over the course of their life can really appreciate it that much more than someone who inherits or grows up with it (she did have to work for it, but might not be able to appreciate it as much).

     

    Hopefully she is a strong sense of self and worth. That will be the challenge now.

     

    Way to go Danielle! Stay strong! (and PM me if you want my number!)

  2. Let me fill you in on another neat fact: The sun is the hottiest planet in the solar system, and if you were to touch it, it would burn you.

     

    So what, now you're saying we have 10 planets in our solar system? And it's a fact?

  3. I knew how good pants they have and instead being depressed I went to climb Stonecrop Glacier route on Slalok. Even tough I didn't complete it I felt much better than going to the sale. Whole trip was about 20$ (with coffee in Whistler).

    I am drooling over Needle55, tired of doing overnight trips with 35 lit pack. frown.gif

     

    How was the trip? Conditions?

  4. Well, this report has now been confirmed. Just read about it in the Vancouver Sun, so it must be true. Haven't seen The Province yet, because if it was in there too, it would be totally validated in my opinion. (Good odds it is in there though, cause I think front sensational cover aside, they simply rearrange the articles.)

  5. Dams rock. thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif Gotta love clean power. Don't like what it does to the fish and other critters, and to the watershed, but fuckit... it's a whole lot better than most of the alternatives.

     

     

    What about the otter? Save the otter!

  6. Yah, I've lost plenty. Used to be after the first ski or two of the season - then I got boots that fit. I kind of liked not having a toenail. The only time it hurt was when I kept banging it into my boot - that's why it came fell out.
