Tomaz Humar is stranded in small snow cave at 5900m. Rescue teams are not able to reach him due to bad weather. He is running out of food and supplies. He is injured but able to move his arm. Here is link to site (it's on Sovenian) and if you need translation just let me know. I can translate comments for you daily. http://www.humar.com/index.php Z

Good work!

Good job!

Beautiful! Zoran

Looks like it's true that sometimes we can learn from kids. I am going to talk to my 3-year old, about my plan to climb Slesse. She could give me few hints ...

My favourite picture is no. 4. Z

I was impressed last year looking at Goode from Black Peak. You did great job. Congratulations. Z

Fishstick, Could you tell me more about new A60 if you know. Thanks. Z

Yes guitar is there. To be able to play it remotely, you need login id and password to connect to the guitar through VOC web site. :-) Z

Some of us dreaming of this "common" route. Thank you for the pics. Congratulations on excellent climb. Z

We couldn't see the Wizard of Choss because it is on East side but I believe your description of the route is very accurate. :-) "Six or so pitches ranging in quality from good to awful. II 5.7" Z

Just a slide show about trip and suggestion to you for this Summer. For some reason area is almost abandoned in Summer. Two of us had hut for ourselves last Saturday night. That is relly not fair.

I am not sure... I will go for info from Bivouac. Z

Thank you for the tracks ... We had very hard time to locate culoir to descent, and we took South Ridge. Visibility was 10-20 feet from time to time. Here you are: http://www3.telus.net/vazor/G2/ Sorry for double picture at the beginning and incorrect height. Should be 2896m. I'll correct that latter. Zoran

Blair Mitten: " Squamish River Crossing: I just heard from Jay the ferry operator across the Squamish River. (604-898-9574). The branch road to the river crossing has been gated by the native band adding a portage to any party wanting to use their own craft to cross the river. He now leaves from Brackendale at 0900 and 1600 by reservation. The fee is $35 per person. "

Frank W. Baumann: " Access to Lovely Water spur road: Squamish Nation is planning to build a new longhouse on this road, which will likely result in it being permanently gated. This may start as early as the summer of 2005. In the good old days, we would always take the time to stop and ask the late Fergie Lewis at Cheakamus for permission to cross the reserve land. Some of these common courtesies no longer seem to be observed, which is not helping to maintain a good relationship with some of the First Nations people. Another sore point with them is how fast people drive through Cheekye community on their way to either the Cheakamus or Squamish Valley- there are many children in that community, and so it is important to respect the speed limit; it is not a backroad. "

SN people charge $35 per person to cross the river in their boat (road is gated but they allow access.)

Black Tusk, Wedgemount Lake (Mt. Weart), Mt. Cook, Brew Lake/Brew hut, Mt. Marriot, Mountain Lake hut, Brandywine mtn., Joffre Lakes (Tszil) ...

Maybe it's good to say that book is 42$ CAD and looks like double in size than last one. Lots of info in. Nice guide book. (I like the picture of legendary Fred Beckey and other "ordinary" climbers ...)

Few years ago large group of BCMC and ACC members made it to the Nursery Pass trailhead parking spot. I couldn't believe my eyes when large Jeep in front of us (and our Toyota pick-up) just dissapear in waterbars. We made it there then ...

Congratulations on good climb. Todd you are amazing! I know you are strong and this was easy for you. I hope soon I will do it (when is drier )

Clintoris, you are not reading the post carefully. But, that is OK. This accident hapened last Friday. Climber went to climb the mountain directly from night shift and he didn't even kiss and hug his kids. It's hard to hear stories like this. Make sure you say to your family how much you love them before you go to serious climb.

I like your TR. I hope we will head there soon from Vancouver, BC. Thank you for the pics. Z

Snow was very soft and unstable. Weather was hot, hot, hot ... Plan was to climb North culoir of Tszil but we switched to Slalok. Around 4 PM we decided to return to the lake. It was day trip from Vancouver. We couldn't make it. Descent was "uncomfortable" because of hanging glacier above us. We were unroped to be faster but again we couldn't make it. It's beautiful moderate climb. Highly recomended.
