what about the guys that whine about other guys trucks being too big, does that mean you have a vagina? get a fuckin life

cant you just have them re-treaded? then if you want re-sipped?

this is nothing, last winter I was dealt this one which turned out ok for me but was quite entertaining Go to hope for ice, which is amazing, take 2 partners 1 partner forgets his boots.. So no probs still have 1 partner Have a few drinks that night and rent a hotel, before both going to bed we agree to wake up by 5 am, 430 am pee break, notice no partner in hotel room get dressed and packed, still no partner 5 am arrives yocal truck drives up and partner stumbles out completely wasted partner gets dressed as though he is going climbing packs up crawls to back of truck and goes to sleep So partner 2, who went home got boots and returned, and I go climb mouse trap.

After doing both for many years SNowboarding is waaay easier to learn!!!!! Boarding has two turns frontside ( 1 hour to learn) and back side (another hour) done!! Skiing, snow plow( for a week ) then Giant S turns ( for another week) Then practice parallel turns for a year and your ready for a Hard blue square.. If Iam interperting this statement correctly then this THE most common mistake when snowboarding and is common with skiers taking up boarding. Your chest should be aligned front and center with your knees. So if your going straight down hill you are looking over your shoulder, chest perpendicualr to the slope. Skiing is for places with no lifts

I take no resposibilty for that info I just cut and pasted from a discussion that gets sent to me when they issue them. So far we are average to just above average rainfall here in Vancouver, for the last 2.5 months.

From NOAA What are the U.S. impacts of La Niña? La Niña often features drier than normal conditions in the Southwest in late summer through the subsequent winter. Drier than normal conditions also typically occur in the Central Plains in the fall and in the Southeast in the winter. In contrast, the Pacific Northwest is more likely to be wetter than normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of a well-established La Niña. Additionally, on average La Niña winters are warmer than normal in the Southeast and colder than normal in the Northwest.

This imperative whenever heading to the starfish!!! On a serious note Papoose 1 is a good climb especially now that its been cleaned up.

Ya I think we can see freezing levels going waaay up by mid week, possibly raining on top of whistler and more than likely putting a stop to Cypress from opening up on Wednesday.

Southern Alberta could see highs in to the 20's or 70f by the end of the weekend.... mid teens for Canmore

Ah yes thats coyote arm, I've caught that a couple of times

Just a note on the loggers, they were extremely nice and to let us through was more than we expected. The machines they were operating were masssive and once they shut them down and let us past we swam through logging debris so deep I started wondering if they let us past just to see us drown in this madness. After 10 -15 min we finally hit the road again but kept moving becasue the fallers were dropping huge trees that just roared as the fell and we were scared! On the way home we were pleaseantly surprised to see the road cleared for easy passage but monster logs littered the enbankment. What an amazing hunk of rock!!

Crown Couloir near Grouse Mt, approach as for Widomaker. 3rd - 4th class and you can take the gondola.

Thats freakin awesome!!!!!!

what about police horses that poo all over the streets who cleans that ? bunch a pigs

Thanks for the offer BOB I forward to climbing some routes with you this winter so I can better myself, Ill be in touch. Maybe the line on Joffre you climbed last summer.. Cheers

Environment Canada's wasnt great cant remeber but what I do remeber was that after all the mumbo jumbo at the end it said this forecast is not statistically better than chance so...who cares. Its probably gonna rain like it always does with one friggin weekend where hope freezes and theres a bunch of cars at the bottom of the mouse trap getting geared up when another car clearly too late to get in line pulls over and jumps out of their car already geared up including boots and run up the trail before any one Im training right now for my ice season, I am going to climb ever day of the season, all 10 days of it!

Thanks alot for your awesome map and approach info. The gate has been locked since last year as you probably know. I talked to the forestry company at the beginning of the summer and they said if they could fix the road it would take longer than the summer to fix it and even if they were going to fix it they dont have the money to do it as a number of bridges need to be replaced: either they have been damaged or are now not rated to hold any weight. So i doubt it will be open at all in 2005 and I doubt they will do any thing before this winters snow. I told them that the places I want to access are before the washouts/ broken bridges and they still wouldnt give me the key and they definetly wont move the gate further up the road. I doubt any one got up Habrich this year and the walk sucks, I once walked from the gate to Habrich in winter and it sucked big time!

Didnt it just snow like a foot up in them parts ?

Not only did the rescue team get there first but the TV team following them was there first as well. Barbaras qoute was quite amazing : This guys was good :

Notice the title of this thread, its not mid week weather AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA 905 AM PDT THU SEP 8 2005 .SYNOPSIS...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST WASHINGTON LATE TONIGHT THEN LINGER OVER THE AREA THROUGH THIS WEEKEND . THE TROUGH WILL PRODUCE CLOUDS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. Cheers

I meant good as in its a well done forecst not that I like the showers. There is an upper level low situated mostly over washington which is why there is a better chance of showers south of the border as opposed to Squamish.

Its a good forecast, Id be slightly worried about the hills but I wouldnt cancel a trip, sunday doesnt look as good. The forecasted showers for tomorrow are optimistic maybe a slight chance in the late morning.

True

I think Klenke is just verbalising probably what a lot of other people are thinking and you shouldnt let it take away from your climb, and it sounds as if it hasnt since you dont climb for nothin but fun. I think the great debate of summitting and accomplishng a major portion of a route and claiming FA's will always be an area of debate. But probably better to take that to another thread and to keep this one about your major and awesome accomplishment Cheers
