Actually that keeps the planet cooler offsetting the affects of global warming...look at the data during 9/11 when there was no air traffic..

Better hope so, its +5 in the bridge river right now and +7 in town edit: its +9 in the bridge now

hey what happened to that kick ass shot of Sloan...its all gone...?

Shit ya Big D !!!!!!

Table Vice and a claw hammer worked like a charm, had both done in less than 5 minutes, you just need to orient the front bail so the notch will slide out of the hole and you just pry it off.

Where you guys the group of 8 from seattle..? -8 at Marble huh...how were the climbs...musta been getting fatter

WEll, I emailed Grivel North America about the issue and they actually emailed me back with instructions on how to do it, then they emailed me again and wanted to make sure I was able to accomplish it!! Awesome customer service!! So if your havin problems just give them a shout

Not So Burly, so suprised me as well, and after looking at the photo's wow so much ice fell off. While walking in, there was quite a bit of rockfall right down to the creek bed Red wall: ya looked nice and blue from not so burly although the column pitch was looking awfully thin but we had no binocs. Twilight tiers: not even close to the amount of ice on it last weekend. Capricorn and Jade: still there but white and sunny. Shriek: looked like somthing fell off up high. Silk Worm: Mostly gone Silk Degree's: gone Gift: First pitch non existant, the next 1 or two pitches are missing sections but the upper flow is big and blue I dont have my book, but the stuff just to the right and down from night n gale was missing sections. not sure about black bird,or new leash, ill look in the book tonight and see if I cant place some names to the ice I saw. To me it looked like something fell of just to the left of the main flow of shreddie compared to last weekend. Also Mile-o is booked this weekend for hockey tournaments, same for 4 pines. As of Saturday there were a few single rooms available and some cots for this weekend. Also Reynolds restaurant is closed this weekend so the only place to eat breakfast is A&W. Dinner spots may be hard to come by as well, there was a small tourny this weekend and Dina's was packed full. Next weekend is the last of any tournaments in February. Cheers Jesse and if the temps fall as advertised mid week and through the weekend we should be up an running again next week.

For the most part I dont think anything on the latest duffey report survived the heat wave. I climbed on Sgt pepper, very very wet and it got partially destroyed by a huge avalanche down its face(maybe note that in your guide)it was muddy lower down and falling off higher up. Everything in lillooet town area has fallen down. I was in the bridge for a look see at Night n Gale, which surprsingly had not had the same avalanche cylce and was still a tad buried. Old Dogs had a partial collapse, steristrip was looking good but very wet. Not so Burly has had its top fall off, the picture on west coast ice where Bob is climbing is gone, you can walk off right below this though for 30 m of grade 2 climbing, although it did have holes. Looking at the temps in lillooet past 24 and what it felt like on the duffey and I think its warmer on the duffey than lilloet..

Did it with a claw hammer, pry bar and a table vise...actually was quite easy once I had the right tools thanks everyone

Inversion out here in SW BC...

Well I enjoyed reading the posts you sent over as a quick one stop shop, I would encourage you to keep it up. Thanks Jesse

I agree with Alpine dave, I have had great success wtih my dremel, I beleive there is a link somewhere on here with a 6 step instruction manual on how to do it.

This would be easier for you if you could just post a picture of yourself..

Thanks, after reading the posts sounds like some serious fun!!

any one had any luck moving the toe bail back one notch...? I tried so hard to pop them out and I cant, I want to extend the length of my front points by pushing my boot back a tad.. thanks in advance

Synconicity was climbed Saturday 01/20 by some buddies and I climbed it on Sunday 01/21 with Steve and Nicole. Reasonable ice, not quite as blue as it appears from the road with the exception of the final 60m. All raps from tree's with quick links no V threads necessary good times

Dont believe the hype its plus 2 there right now, ouch and a high of 4 for tomorrow

is this in Canada as well....? the Shell thing?

Pretty sure I asked Don Serl about this and he said not a good idea, although ice fractures horizontally once you have the holes ice is stronger width wise rather than vertical, something to do with the grain of the ice being vertical therefore easier to shear through. From your picture maybe you mean just a little offset but dont go ahead and make them vertical

Just remember like everything in life it could always be worse

Why are they all booked up...

why dont you just go to work and stop makin monday any more miserable you ******

The best I can do on such short notice Muff...have a good one from me and the Hoff
