me too, not back till the 9th, see you all in the rockies in the new year!!!

Choada has taken waaay to much choad in his life time

If I have some time Ill give you a long range trend idea for the holidays.

its not hard to grasp, i thnik the problem is someone went to the rockies when the once in a 5 year artic out flow hit and every one climbed shit that hasnt been done since last ice age. now they are pissed off, I doubt any one would try and compare the canadian rockies to washington.

I have seen a few posts that say its supposed to get cold next week,where are you guys seeing this forecast?

Niggling ???? The guy was there 5 fucking days before winter even started then said the climb took place on the 21st. I asked to clarify the dates. No one was getting down on anybody! Some of you need to loosen up your panties and rub one out and as I said in my first post, good effort

I wasnt arguing I was just confused, as the TR has the climb for Today yet it was 4 days ago, and then the winter comment. No biggie Cheers

Winter starts today at 135 pm eastern time. If I read your TR correctly you went up on Friday the 17th and came home on the 18th..? Not quite winter Way to get after it though!

Forgot all about poor louisa and the river! Here's a pic of Earthly looking for some hidden ice during that trip last year on Nepopekum. Bigger Size

All my good teqnique seems to go out the door on lead, oh well second day out.

Sumallo Crossing, waders worked well, although there a was a small leak. The route Pitch 1 the top

3 times through the canyon you must of loved it! A couple of shots from Box canyon the weekend before I beleive this one is Labyrinth Bigger size Snakes and Ladders Yellow flow in the background ? Toby in hell canyon in front

Climb: Sumallo Bluffs-Buzowski/Kippan Date of Climb: 12/18/2005 Trip Report: Climbed the Buzowski on Saturday and it was just awesome! That whole area is just awesome and had tonnes of ice!!! The river crossing was tame and the approach was very bushy at times. Climbed the route in two pitches one 40 m and one 65 m,the last pitch is long and would be better as two pitches. Landmark gulley was almost fully in but the upper curtain was not touching down. the rest including some possibly unclimbed lines were looking spectacular. Hopefully it stays cold enough to keep things from melting too much. Pics are coming as soon as I find my cord to upload them to my computer. Gear Notes: screws and hip waders Approach Notes: River, bush then gulley, approach from 24 km marker rather than from Parking spot.

Yes with a forecasted high of 9c and a low of 7c for Seymour tomorrow, I doubt Harvey is doing much in the ice making department.

Thats what I thought but Dons post to West Coast ice kind of took me by surprise. Ya if we get some cold in the alpine after this rain should be stellar and it will be winter season!

Except that there is apparantly no ice in whistler. Nice pic Dru

I remeber this post from last year may get you started http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/s...true#Post432579

What new snow are you speaking of or am I missing something? Sounds like an adventure

Isnt Michelmoon on private property? apparently Night'n gale is in http://www.westcoastice.com/Page60.aspx

Right on Toby and I went up to box canyon on saturday and saw the route you were talking about after driving to the toll booths by accident. We climbed Snakes and ladders and another route that I cant remeber the name of, all in all a good day with lots of ice and a pretty shitty approach, made extra shitty as a helicopter flew 50 feet above our heads over and over again filming a half naked man riding a horse up and down the little approach trail...this took 2 hours. Fairly weird start to the day.

My partner has the one I would buy, synthetic bottom and down top, to me that is the perfect mixture. Still packs relatively small as well

Quick Cobbler Downtown Vancouver 80$

Personally i have never had the problem where I am the only guy in a room full of girls thinking get me the hell out of here .

yup, looks better, at least till mid week anyways could be enough...

and then it gets warm, dont you wish it would just stay this way....for just a bit longer for things to form
