  1. Timmay, go get something cold, your making Muffy edgey with this talk of winter!
  2. Freesole. Clean it well first with a solvent... Where on the shoe is it? Near an edge?
  3. Try the Bulletheads area in Squamish... chimneys galore. Fun to scary.
  4. Looks like TLG has yet another new admirer! UPDATE: I saw her in Squamish this weekend wrestling big cracks...
  5. I went and checked on Saturday... it's mostly hands, for me. Some of the hard parts are big though!
  6. Just below the edge, glue ins, or Petzl LongLife (needs a 12mm bit) for longest life.
  7. Over 100 degrees there on the weekend, had friends working there.
  8. You know they work better if you take the caps off, right??? You should try that before you decide if you really want to sell them. Good deals I would say.
  9. Uhhh, read his poem again and get back to us.
  10. TLG - come up and we will do St. Vitus. GregW - yes, St Vitus is a good alternative to Diedre. Not as long though. D has 7 pitches of good climbing, StV only three. But you can always go and do some of the other stuff at that end of the Apron, like Vitus direct, or Start From Scratrch, to make it longer. After StV, you can head up Karen's Math, and or Memorial Crack.
  11. Hhmm. Guessing is stands for playboy then. I'll have to think on what makes this word is an adjective. As I remember Uncle Timm@y telling it, it goes something like this... When he was a young boy, there was a stack of contraband Playboy mags around. Doesn't get much better in a young boy's life. Things started being reffered to as "plab," a contraction of Playboy, to express great appreciation. Usage: "Ehmic, Ive heard you have a real plab sleeping rig in your truck " Freshiez are PLAB!

    Wacky Graemlins

    For some reason the guys above are no longer in sync. I upgraded my browser, that's probably why. It's so much better!!! This guy is pretty screwed up though. None of you can probably see what I am seeing.
  13. Wire brush or sandpaper, and or alcohol to clean them off. Should help.

    ouch

    OWWWWWW! Saw that at the bike shop a few minutes ago. So is Lance a cheater or what??? I think he took advantage there fer sure.
  15. See what I can do. They might have Karaoke. Schwoop, right over the top.
  16. Just because it is graded .7/.8 or whatever, doesn't mean it is a good novice route, or that it neccesarily should be. If it was graded with a 2 part system, that might be more obvious, before someone got out there and got scared. I climb 10+ gear when I am at my best, but I love sometimes to test my head space on 5.7 runout slabs. Just ask TLG! So there is a place and a need for runout "easy" routes too. Just because the climbing is easy doesn't mean the climb is or should be.
  17. Pecker.............. click to enlarge!
  18. And thus showed the kind of good judgement that you should. sorry about the bad grammar...
  19. where did anyone say that they were glaciated? mabe i am blind, but i dont see it... It's here.
  20. And who's gonna do something about it? I would suggest you get your ass out there and clean it up. Or are you waiting for the crag maintenance crew to show up???
  21. I haven't been up since last summer. What I have heard though, is that you can still 4WD to the boulders, but even a mog won't get you past that point. THey pulled the road right back and restored the grade of the slope. This is what I have heard, I don't know if it is true.
  22. So finally on the third attempt, I managed to get up Sky Pilot last summer by the West Buttress (F 4th 400m). I would call it a nice 3rd class route, despite the guidebook. I didn't get the pics 'til this week. Friends! The road has been blocked by a barricade of boulders since some local youths went up there and drove off the side of a cliff. It hinders access unless you have a mountain biike, or you feel like adding a few hours of dusty logging road to the hiking. We didn't feel like it. There is a short 4th class step on the route that is nowhere near where the photo in Alpine Select says it is. This was easily conquered via the 3rd class climbing to the left. Then it was time for a snack. The climbing is not hard, though the route finding threw me off the time I tried to follow the old guide. The new one is much closer to the actual route. Then of course we had to go down, and that was fun too. Participants: snoboy, wildgardener, and the truck.
  23. It looks like you're trying your damndest to discredit the original poster's claim. Why? I'm sure it happened and your people and gov't. authorities are covering it up. Give it up. This kind of shit happens here in America too; what, you think you Canadians are above this type of bullshit? Fuck. Just for all of those who said I was trying to discredit the original post, and that there is a "cover-up"; I'd like you to know that at least two local papers have carried this story on their front pages, and that one of them, The Squamish Chief, was alerted to the story by my queries.
  24. Nothing to install or remove. Try this: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-300
  25. And you're all invited. By the mayor himself no less!!
