Hummers are meant to be given not driven

A lot of people bag on it, but it's a pretty fun event. The folks who run it work there asses off. You kinda just got to see it for what it really is, a big party. If you really wan't to get any climging in, arrive about four or five days in advance of the icefest. By the weekend it is just too crowded everywhere to get anything done. Donini in a dress was a fucking riot, but the teenage girls dance team was the shit.

Moderately heated. It is a good place to cook and dry your shit out. If you have a truck or a van, it is better to sleep in it in the parking lot-as not to get harrassed by the RCMP. Sleeping in your vehicle in Field isn't quite as cold as Canmore or Banff. All of this assumes a low profile.

The ice in Field is probably the best, most consistant ice of varying difficulty levels in BC. Field is cheap to stay in as well. You can squat in the visitors center-which is my preferred bivy spot.

I'm going through the same thing right now, laid up with a knee injury. It's amazing how many books you can go through when you've got time on your hands. Bringing Down the House- a good story Let My People Go Surfing The brand new book by Bob Woodward about the Irag War- it's supposed to be really good- I think it's called State of Denial?

Yeah, the bolt got chopped only a couple days after it was placed. In my opinion, this guy deserved and still deserves all the harrassment that can be thrown at him,just so he doesn't do it again. He's a complete jackass for placing it. How he got the idea in his head in the first place is a mystery.

To this day, the guy still says he was doing the right thing, his justification was pretty lame. He paid the price in the end though. Vince posted the dude's email address and phone number on the internet which led to the guy getting harassing phone calls and emails for quite a while.

For RMNP the Gillet book is the most current, but the topos arn't that great, the pictures are kind blurry too

It's actually super nice in Vegas right now, climbing in the sun is even managable right now.

Why waste a bunch of money driving around chasing ice in the PNW that doesn't regularly come into shape. The Rockies are only a days drive from Seattle. You can get more climbing milage in weekend up there than you can in a season in Wash or Oregon. This is only true if you don't have any border issues of course

I've talked to several people who have seen it, they all say it is amazing. I'm going tommorow, I'm psyched to see it for myself

This kinda sounds like jackin off without the proper reading materials

So I don't really no what to say. I have become friends with both Karen and Sue over the last couple of years, they both get after it better than almost any men. These women are as tough as they come, but I fear the worst.

Yeah, Fuggen hostile takeover

Was this on company time guy?

I bet they won't check if you got a gun in your hand

How's the psuedo science going?

Would you take me climbing? you are my hero

Did the Mountaineers Scrabling level one class help

I think his photos were confiscated at customs and shit

Most everything in Silverton/Eureka, Co

Grey version is the shit. Buy a hand full of pairs at the begining of the season and you're set. Great for leashless climbing, they even dry out when you stash 'em in a jacket. What's the word Russ?

I would stick with feathered friends or second ascent if it is conveniant. Marmot is always a bit of a cluster.

The parking lot at the Alpine Club hostel in Canmore. Dry your shit out inside, cook, do laundry, keep a low profile.
