Looking for people to carpool to Bugs from Canmore/Calgary on Friday afternoon coming back late Sunday or early Monday morning?

Living in Canmore makes Bugaboos a weekend trip, so I will be heading there more or less every weekend. If anybody is keen to team up you can send me an e-mail at janez.ales@gmail.com. I would be keen on anything up there, especially longer routes out of East creek... but I can also do Surfs Up Janez.

.. and the log crossing was great fun

Yes, my mistake, I was making a correction when the cc server came down. They climbed Synchro, we climbed the last pitch of The Mother...

Climb: Lillooet-IcyBC/Syncrhotron+Synchronicity Date of Climb: 12/12/2005 Trip Report: In spite of quite warm temps Lillooet had seen some keen faces on Friday and Saturday night. Bob and I climbed at IcyBC on Saturday. First pitch has interesting mushrooms, second is an easy, wet, and hollow tube, top pitch has little climbable ice, main pillar is a big cavity, one can not exit Fender Bender due to open water, but a two feet diameter pillar and two Shredie like free hanging daggers make for a great ambient. Air Care was climbed in a harder than usual state. The sunset light was amazing across the valley reminding us of the gold rush times Body shop is dry but looks very anorexic. Sunday we head a great Rockies clean M? experience on the first two thirds of Synchrotron. On the third part of the climb: the ramp pitch is well formed with the top pitch being an absolute score for a grade 4 - as good as it gets - beautiful pillar, was untouched this year, on the short side though, and lots of free hanging daggers of all sizes around you, again in the beautiful afternoon light that scared away misty clouds that kept us company all day Brian and Graham had a great time on Synchronicity on Sunday. I am glad that a lone climber, who was using their ropes on the last rappel got away unhurt from rappelling past the end of the ropes. Two other parties have climbed Synchronicity on Saturday. Synchrotron has also been climbed to the ramp pitch on Saturday. As reported The Plum last pitch is still unformed Janez.

The question should rather be WHERE are we going ice climbing this weekend?

I will be driving to the Rockies sometimes after or on Dec. 11th. and coming back to Vancouver in early January. I have three spots available (even 4 in a pinch). Send me an e-mail if interested janez.ales@gmail.com

Go with PHAT skis (love optional , AT or tele (or both, depending on conditions Even better, if PHAT's are not phat enough get a floater board

Tha factory angles are fine, however, the cutting surfaces are not perfectly flat, which makes the edges even less perfect, whatever perfect means... The degree of sharpness mine have is such, that you have to take very good care of the screws otherwise you wreck the benefits... Yes it is very easy to mess up with the angles (and there are two to worry about each time you make a stroke with a file) unless your hands (really) know what they are doing
