  9. Climb: Mt Harvey-North Face Date of Climb: 2/17/2006 Trip Report: A short TR as I am a tad tired. What do you do when every ones gotta work and the alpine is just screamng your name? Easy, trade sleep for swingin the tools! Picked the Boys up drove up to the Church off Taylor way and waited for Don S to show up at the agreed time of 12am today. Well the boys in blue showed up first rightly confused why 3 grown men were hanging out in church parking lot at midnight..all was well and Don showed shortly after that and we were off. Leaving the Lions Bay parking lot at 1230 am we hiked under clear cold skies to the base and where the wind was howling and the temps were chilly, -11 overnight on Grouse Mt. Not wanting to do anything but keep moving we ran up the ramp and the ridge to the summit in 4.5 hours from the car, I think it was 1 hour 15 mins on the ramp itself. It just kept on howling and was freaking cold so we were not waiting for the sunrise as we had hoped. Quickly down to the Lion basin and the road and easily walked back to the cars for sunrise at 740 am. 7 hours car to car and still had time to go home for a few z's before work, well I did, Don went straight to work. Toby F. Jeff H. my self and Don S. all had a wicked time romping up and down bullet proof snow, this weekend oughta be perfect! See you out there! Gear Notes: Two tools, two crampons Approach Notes: Road
  10. I get that shot and another bunch showing Tornadoes in Calgary, every two weeks. The funny thing its always, hey check these my grandma sent, or my sick mom, or brother in Nasa, always someone who would never try and put one over on me. I beleive most people fall for it and pass it on comletley oblivious.
  11. I have the Black Diamond one as well, and it holds 12 screws, just fine.

  18. Ok so the weather pixie is just an english version of a metar report that is based on an auto obsevation station at Clinton. the past 24 hours in 100 mile house is the same as Clinton and is using the same station as the pixie. If you look at the address bar when hitting past 24 hours for 100mile house you will see wcl in there. you could change that to yvr or whatever for quick navigation of stations. So the past 24 hours are based in clinton and the forecast is for 100 mile house I beleive, its the main area in the south cariboo region. Yes Lyle the forecaster do take into account clintons local conditions when forecasting for the area. So you may sometimes see forecasts such as flurries for ...while rain for... but keep in mind what you see when looking at the forecast is a computer intepertation of the forecasters input, if in doubt of a forecast check out the text based forecast off to the side under 5 day weather and find the south cariboo region sometimes it lends more insight. this is an area EC is working on and will hopefully be able to issue better regional forecasts with more wording as I have said above. Also notice that when you hit past 24 hours for 100mile house it actually says in bold letters clinton cheers
  19. Watch for inversions

  22. Oh man yes I am I could smell it this morning, time to stop hanging of my door jams with the tools and get back to my fingers
  23. Like mad money..boo freakin ya, man is the sun good on my brain! besides a few burps here and there next week looks good as well
  24. I think Saturadays forecast is wrong, at least as it looks on Wednesday. I dont think there will be much in the way of precip til Sun.
