No I am climbing in italy till September so I'm out... arrividerchi suckas

looks sick wow, made me stoked I am so ready for vacation time!! I am 7 days away from heading to Europe for two months to climb. part of the time I will meet up with my girlfriend at her parents place in Turkey Check it DWS in Turkey right next to her place: Of course thats after I return for my third trip to the dolos this time to spend 25 days climbing there, woo hoo Sorry your wicked pictures got me stoked!!!

I am looking for a similar pair or preferably the full universal 490's cant believe I missed these

According to Alex Lowe, you are the best climber! Keep it up man!!!

oh too bad, maybe its a canadian thing Well if you can post John Stewarts show from last night he has clips from presidents all the way from the 50s and they all say the same thing its classic!!

This is the funniest thing I have seen in some time, Stewart nails it http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/#clip313198

Camp XCL doenst call themselves the worlds lights crampon for fun..you have it listed as the heaviest? Camp XCL 490

Ill go with no shrimp over dredging the ocean floor every day capturing every last living creature in their nets. it will be interesting if the sea floor collapses and this thing ejects the entire well in one burp to the surface. Its possible that may bring some change, although one has to wonder when something so catastrophic is going on and here in Vancouver people are losing their minds over new bike lanes...

ha, , fair enough, just nice to hear some decent shit about this well instead of the spew that makes it to TV The gulf is screeeewed for a long time. I am happy that those shrimpers have been wiped out though, man those guys cant say much when it comes to environmental destruction

There is a super topo thread where some oil guy validates the that post on the oil drum

Seems to me the gear had limitations which is why they say do not use it on open slings, not use it carefully...

So I have had the pleasure of perusing this guide a few times recently, one of my friends bought it. I must say its nicely laid out, the pictures stunning, the colour topos very enticing and probably one of the nicer guides I have seen. However this is a select guide of Western Canada, my interpertation is that if I was going to travel to these crags I would expect them to be the best routes in all of Western Canada. I cant speak about the rest of the book but for the Squamish section I was unimpressed 1) There are routes in this guide that have been dirty for decades, and he puts them in there with the caveat they need to be cleaned and bolted. 2) Many of the same mistakes in the most recent guide have been passed on. 3) Silly routes like beaver fever, a "new route" climb orfice fish, step over on 1m of new rock and climb split beaver. 4)I was enticed by the colour topos of the malemute and figured if they were in the select guide they must be worthy. So I decided to check out the "newly cleaned" Malemute multipitches and as I should have expected they were: dirty, missing anchors, oddly placed bolts basically exactly what you would expect from the lower malemute now that the approach has been closed for years. 5) Marble Canyon, I dont think anything in this park is select, and definetly not in all of western canada I was expecting a super hit list of awesome routes, not just a collection of ok routes from current select guides. I doubt I would pay 50$ for it but I would give it a look over if I was planning a road trip

Are you sure you get the point? What does an open sling have to do with it ?

AC/UE/RO are all wet, its been spittig all day today. You have a 30% chance of a shower for sqmsh Sunday morning, I dont think this is advertised anywhere yet. Actually TWN, which is crap, has latched on to something for Sudnay, I cant imagine much more than a quick shower Sunday morning..but that may take the grand out of the picture for you http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cabc0279?ref=topnav_homepage_savedcity I would stay if I was u and wait for a better weekend, or at least one where it hasnt been raining for days beforehand. That being said that will be plenty of climbable rock this weekend, long routes highly doubtful. Try the butress maybe good luck

I didnt know that Water, very cool, discussions from point forecasts. You guys are very lucky between UW and NOAA what is publically available for weather.

NOAA NWS has superior products for the public than say Canada NWS This is THE standard for weather briefings with graphical representation to help!!!! You can email them and tell them you support their products they will email you back, they are GREAT The point click forecasts are poor, you should just read below, as far as I know they are just computer generated using one model for data. Read below and you will see why that can be a poor way to get your weather http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/gafd/latest_webafd.html

hahha ppl never learn, its June and ppl planning their weekend 4-5 days out hahahahah Sundays weather is going to shit real quick

Originally they said that while they were pumping mud no oil was leaking. So why dont they continue pumping mud, why wouldnt they pump the mud while cutting the pipe to reduce flow ?

I didnt think anyhwere in the PNW was having anything unique for this spring ?

I believe when hurricanes enter the gulf they can increase in strength due to the warmer water, I think the theory was/is cut that off and it will die. may get to check that out, the season starts tomorrow

yup, I get that

I couldnt care less about trawlers, in fact I hope they all go out of business, not one of them cares about the environment!!

Doubt it, this wont affect anyones summer vacation so steady as she goes.

Will be a great science experiment, finally we can test the theory of putting on a "lid" to counteract ocean heat fueling hurricanes. Imagine if BP discovered how to reduce hurricane strength or even stop them from forming in the first place
