oh, riiight. i did hear that sad story. he's got a few good'uns.

but can you sing it dude! btw, are you & his highness drinking tomorrow night in 'Wack?

that's beautiful. sniff. cheers Guy

I need some new material for those long soporific belays D'you tune yours to the event, or are they just good 'n assinine? ...have noticed on occasion, my screechy tones have spurred a rope gun to climb faster ....and *i* was singing about Rasputin & some girl's plums before Simpson's movie came out. so what do you belt out?

Chinese take-out just got fresher!

the first time i climbed ice was on 80d. stuff in my 3/4 shank leather backpackers, strapped to blunt 'n rusty G10s. they worked fine. my calves on the other hand were on fire all day. ...i continue with this combo for lite duty alpine, unless i feel insecure about a route and then i wear my shitty fitting plastics.

Touché! there you go Muffy - a family project!

and mending your duct-taped climbing trousers?

unless i've misunderstood whose rest or sick day activities.... shop'n for gear; writing trip reports; re-taping yer rack...which the kids can help you with; phone others on what they did/are doing on the weekend; plan your dream trip(s)! ...and watching Oprah

this thread is going to shit. and i am going home to read up on more manky routes. have a wild weekend

nah, uh. i don't boulder. i did say corrupted...but not 100% ...sorry, just a prana top poseur, gorgeously rippling with...fat jmace if you're in the neighbourhood for a revenge climb on the .9 give us a shout. how could one not after the evocative ad

Pemberton Crag is 2p. of 5.8...the easiest one at the crag. We scoped out an appealing 5.9 more to the centre (left of Danish Dirt i think), but no way was there enough time. there was a battered and hacked length of rope one climb over from mine....i shudder to think. behemuth mosquites in pemby!

my lack of natural talent would often show on exposed or run out leads in the alpine. so endeavouring to become the best mountain bag that i can be, i am now a year into cragging...and i've learned to like it! it's done me some good...and the relaxed sub-culture has corrupted me at the same time. last saturday i climbed at Green River Bastion which offers multi-pitch routes. that mountain crag certainly has an alpine flavour being subject to freeze/thaw. your belayer ought to wear a helmet here!! can you folks offer a heads-up on where else to be wary?

the GLOSSY pages are working against me & the print wants to interface in perpetuity, here & there. it had been suggested to me that valuable documents that become damp can be frozen, and that the freezer presumably freezes the pages out separately...in a dry environment. p'haps i didn't give it enuf time. so Bill...not that i know why, but err sure! i'll take it as good luck then.

what is autoclave?

not just 2, but 4! dumb-dumb had em in her duffle bag with the water bottle...that was saturday. squamish select sufferred the most; and the semi-dried pages are stuck seemingly beyond hope. matt gunn's scrambles book is made of better quality stuff though equally as saturated, no unwelcome print was imparted on its facing pages. any helpful suggestions?

E-mail sent.

funny report! hey, what time did you spot that "couple" on diedre? i was all set for A Cream of White Mice on Sunday morning, but got tricked in to Diedra and tried not to pout conspicuously from 8-10.

Not in the last few days, but last weekend for the Easton approach we skinned up from 3,000', barely 1' of snow & quickly receding in the rain as noted on the descent! In the alpine towards Railroad Camp, there were various sucky layers that impeded skiing (skins off/on...didn't make any difference to all our wipe-outs): 4" of powder on top of 1foot of cement...which the poles would sink through to an unspecified (sorry) but significant depth in the lower unconsolidated layer (last week's big dump). that's the best i can offer for recent info. your interpretations on effects by this week's heat?

not for getting around gates it's not what's this talk of selling your jeep?

i sympathize! i'm the "slimmest" one in my family; but still too curvy for ease of climbing. i hoped that climbing mountains would help me shed some wt., but ironically, i gained 30lbs at one point! one rationale compared me to hockey players, suggesting that winter atheletes tend to keep the extra padding. but mostly, i think i've just ended up with fat genes....sorry, not what you wanted to hear. but again, i sure sympathize!

well, that should make us even then. i'll be jealous of your climbing/spraying talents while you can be jealous of my junk yard. why am i still at work. i'm outta here, ciao.

okay guys, i get the secrecy & the prejudices because i climb too. thought i'd give it a whirl though.
