Her beau is on the Pill Otherwise werd to her, right on!

Someone who cares should put together a timeline of cc.com for newbs. Include all signifigant flame wars, and bannings, as well as the first posts of some of the more famous characters.

Tim Severin "The Brendan Voyage" - across the N Atlantic in a skin boat. Tintin books. I am reading "Findlay's River" right now, about the history of said river. It is OK, interesting stories, but not very engaging.

Is OK, they usually have their own car

Busted!.

I seem to remember something about vinegar killing mildew good. But that might only apply to old cotton tents. I don't know what it might do to more current fabrics!

Yo trask! You need to come hang in Squamish some summer!

"Dispatch, can you send a couple more units out? I don't think they are all going to fit in this one!"

I gave up buying climbing mags a long time ago. Too much spray, which I can get for free right here. Bored of the same pictures in the gallery section all the time. Outside mag occasionaly has some good articles, but they aren't a climbin' rag. They have the best photo section of any outdoor mag though! Tommy Caldwell wrapped in the US flag almost made me puke! Thanks R&I. I would say the same if it was Croft wrapped in the Maple Leaf.

What do you want them for? I wear my Chaco sandals for almost anything. Easy to clip in, but a bit heavy. Or just a pair of low cut shoes like E3 Luckies. <$100 CDN. If it's too technical for those, then I put my rock shoes on. Scrambling routes and "low 5th" gets my Trango Plus boots.

Lunch at the airport?

LACK OF RETURN SPRINGS KEEP THE FREE RIDE OUT OF THE KILLER STATUS Funny, I know people who take the springs out of their Titanals... I think you can put springs on the Freeride if you wanna.

If that's the truth, then I think everyone should have to go there! Milton is so#1!!!

For sure something is up here these days! Mattp and Fairweather are having conversations about where to send Fw's daughter to college, trask is weighing in on Gear Critic Forums, I called e-rock a loser in not so many words and he didn't blast me, GregW was agreeing with AlpineK who had just admitted to liberal leanings! And where's the caveman in all this?

Crappy dude! Did they give you new ones? Or reglue them at least? The g3 website still has them, page updated dec 21. I've always stuck (ha!) to Ascension myself. I am almost superstitious about what skins I use. Even when the G3 tail fix system came along, I just put it on my Ascensions.

Off thread topic here, sorry. I have seen that site too, and even played around with some of the tecniques. They kinda work. I found it a lot of work to get not very good results. Kinda impressionistic. Most large photo places have slide scanners these days. You can get impressive results from a real slide scanner... Galen Rowell used to scan some of his work before blowing it up to like 4'x6' or whatever. The crux is that the original is so small the scanner needs super high resolution to do a good job.

I lived for 5 years in a house where our water was drawn from a "mountain" creek. Untreated. Never had a problem, neither did any of my city friends. Granted that is a small sample. I also drink from creeks mostly. I am more scared melting snow at ski cabins to tell you the truth!!!

[bold mine] I thought they had been not shipped because they had a problem with this batch of glue... Kinda like Assension did a few years ago. I guess you do need somewhere that knows what they are talking about. Or maybe I am talking out of my

fern set me straight on the best breakfast = mashed potato flakes with cheese, butter, and curry. Add a little extra water. Yummy! And get her Logan Bread recipe too!

CBC radio used to play DT's "A Child's Christmas in Wales" every Christmas. I loved it as a kid, It's funny stuff.

Don't most people use fork in left when using knife, if right handed??? Maybe it's a Canadian thing too??? I (righty) used to wear watch on right when I was sculling, as the left hand passes over the right, and the buckle messes up the back of your hand. It can catch a bowstring too!

That is what I usually use. Make sure to clip the biner into the device properly (see Putzl site or instructions), it will keep it from jumping off the rope, and feed easier. If you still want backup, then tie a loose prusik above the ascender. It will be pushed up by the ascender. I don't bother with the chest harness though.

I think you are right about their intentions JayB, but my issue is more with the diameter, than length. Definetely better a light probe than none at all.

It's in RossVegas with me. How far (hrs) is Pickets from Squampton? I think the probes would be maybe OK for one rescue, but not for daily use, cornice poking, pit checking snow depth checking, rescue practice, all that stuff. I haven't tried one out yet either, but am dubious about their ability to get down through debris, especially coastal!
