hahaha... you are joking right? Don't push me, I might just do it.

hahha... ya I guess I should suck it up and get out there and give it a go. Does Squamish get less rain than Vancouver? I'm just used to Alberta where there's blue sky 364 days a year. If its cold you put on some warm clothes and grab your ice tools. This is driving me nuts where its too rainy to climb rock (so I thought) and not cold enough to climb ice. I can't wait for summer.

trolling for nuts my friend and you're my first catch.

Two to three days of good weather??? You are talking about the west coast aren't you? By good weather do you mean relative to normal west coast weather. As in it only rained 3cm so far today... what a great day!! I haven't seen the sun since October!

hhhaaha... finally someone found the crap comments to be over the top. This was the point that I was getting at. Flagging has way less of an impact than taking a nice steamer, so forget about it. Do you really burn your TP??? How do you go about doing this??? I can only picture you with your head right next to your crap flicking a lighter... repulsive. You do know that TP will break down immediately following the first rainfall which, if it isn't at the present, will be within 15min if you live on the west coast.

But who really flags just to flag??? Are there really people out there that are flaging for no purpose?? Do people feel they are decorating trees with orange ribbons as though it were Christmas time??? Its not litter!!!

It's really all about what is hitting what here. Did anyone see that clip in Vancouver area about a week ago. Some dude ran into a k-car with a stolen dodge 4*4?? The car was wrecked and everyone just about killed but the punk got out of the scratched truck and ran like hell. Just think about it... have you ever seen a semi get totalled by a Austin Mini and have the driver get out of the Austin Mini and run away. SUV's increase the safety factor big time, it just sucks for those still driving cars. It's like a tank vs. a chariott. How can you argue about this???

Damn, I was wondering how long it would take before some smart ass foiled my brilliant story.

but do you piss in the woods, or heaven forbid shit in the woods and not pick it up after you??? Flagging isn't garbage. It is used in a variety of situations to protect the forests. Replanting new forests, surveying growing forests, marking single trails, monitoring wildlife. The whole key here is that it dissapears after it serves its purpose. You see the bright orange flagging because its new... hence the bright orange. Old flagging doesn't exist, just go to a replanted cutblock. Any replant will have had at least 50 rolls of tape laid out all over it. Where did it all go??? And to all of you not carrying out your dogs and your own shit, shame on you!!! this is why we now have to use water filters you filthy swine!! How would you like it if I shit in your backyard!

I guess the key word would be old... as in break down quickly like toilet paper. Whenever we replanted a section of a cutblock that was more than two years old, all the flagging would be gone. I guess there is the possibility that some of you took it upon yourselves to hike all over swampy cutblocks to fullfill your duties in removing tape. But if not, I guess the stuff just dissapears.

Ever see really old flagging in the bush??? Didn't think so, cause it is made environmentally friendly. It breaks down quickly not to mention the deer love them. Its not littering its leaving candy for wildlife. And as far as impact goes, I've done a lot of new routes in dense bush and if you want one narrow skinny trail instead of spreadout figure eights everywhere, then bring some flagging. All you enviro freaks picking up flag litter out there... if you want to really make a difference, do yourself a favor and bring a doggy bag for your crap.

Speaking of Shit has everyone heard where this name originated? It actually came about when they used to ship large crates full of manure in ships. Well it turned out that the crates that were placed low in the bilge ended up getting wet. The wet manure released enough methane gas to cause several explosions aboard the ships. Some ships were even lost as a result of this. In order to not have this happen again, they started marking the crates Store High In Transit. This eventually got shortened to S.H.I.T. and hense we now have the clever Acronym Shit to describe this fascinating event.

Wow I'm reading this in a public library right now and am trying not to shit myself while laughing. Talk about strange looks. I'd like to contribute a little known pleasure called the "turtle head" You know the one, where it keeps popping its head out in public. Or how about the no wiper... these go hand in well... hopefully not hand. These are the shits where you work so hard that there is nothing but a solidified chunk of waste.

I'm just thankful that I haven't been climbing long enough to have experienced spandex and climbing in the same scenario.

They probably will outlast straight marriages. Everything is ssssuper and fantassstic all the time!! How did the lisp come about anyways??? Is it a sign of femininity, cause I don't hear any females talking like this. I guess the only exception is that trailer park Canadian comedian who is funny as hell but way more of a man than a women.

I've heard about the same durability problems with the reverso. I just found the sight for Trango's B-52. It sounds and looks like a pretty good product but of coarse thats the company talking. Anyone have any bad experiences with a B-52??

Thanks Smoke Show... I just about quoted that old post, I guess I'm not the only one with bad luck. The B-52 sounds like a pretty popular unit. I've used many B-52's and found the response was satisfying, but that was at the bar after dropping my ATC. Are they a new copycat of the Reverso? I've never even heard of one before reading that post.

I dropped my ATC and need to replace it. I have only owned an ATC and a figure 8 and have no complaints with either. I was just wondering if there was anything out there more versatile than an ATC that I should consider. I'd be using it for cragging, alpine and ice. Any Suggestions?

look in Waterfall Ice by J Josephson. It'll give you the routes in Golden. As far as routes inbetween Golden and Revelstoke, I'm not sure. There is definately potential there.

I heard about one elderly lady falling off a toilet and getting killed. Or how about those stairs... talk about sketchy. Bouldering is crazy man... you are like way hardcore... ROCK ON, keeping put it into it !!! preview of posts to come...

So does the gay marriage certificate stipulate who's the Bitch? Cause I mean this could only lead to fighting over who has to do the dishes, laundry, cooking, pipe cleaning etc. I say if we have to suffer make them suffer. In a couple of years there won't be any fairies jumping around in tootoos and leather for a parade. There will just be a bunch of fairies sitting in chairs listening to their Shrinks. They don't know what they're in for... just smile and say congratulations!!!

Maxim (the rope not the magazine) suggests to wash them in a pillow case with a mild detergent and I think cold water. Find a box of soap that has a baby on the front and your golden.

So like where's the beer??

Thats wacked!! Whistler just had a slide to where some kid got burried but was rescued. Got stuck with a $900 recovery from out of bounds fee... no pass for him next year!!
