sorry to be an ass...but thats hilarious to hear on this board
Yeah I had a parent teacher meeting today. A couple years ago i would be grounded but now that Im a grad in my senior year my Mom says that getting bad grades in Personal Planning is my own choice and she can't force me to no longer be a failure at life...
i better pick it up though otherwise I don't graduate and that would screw over my Alaska plans....
There are a couple routes where you jump from one boulder to the other with a big ass pit of death between them. Then stick clipping is acceptable. But in most cases it is pretty pansy.
Since I stopped climbing competitively and just did trad and alpine mainly for the last 3 or 4 years I assumed I would have 'forgotten' how to do the bouldering and sport climbing 'harder' moves I used to do. But I decided to go and try outdoor bouldering for the first time on tuesday and went back on thursday. On thursday I managed to get this sweet problem sent and made a little vid. I just think its cool after not climbing at my limits for a long time I can still 'remember' how to climb this stuff. Maybe I will keep with it now, it will probably help my climbing overall. Here's my vid, enjoy:

Colin, You should be able to drive right to the riverside campground beside 'chlliwack lk rd' at the start of Nesakwatch Creek FSR. From there it is just over 5km of walking to the Slesse Memorial trailhead. Its been warm around here so you 'may' be able to drive up the road a little bit, But with all the flooding/lanslides we had recently Im guessing that most of these access roads are going to be really f#*ked up so walking may be the way to go.

That is really stupid. Those bolts looked like perfect brand new pieces of equipment and pulled out with a tug... I can't believe that the route equippers didn't notice that they couldn't tighten down the bolts properly.
Its called spray.
Sorry for spraying in a climbing forum...but I am sticking to it. Downgrading a climb that NO ONE posting here will ever climb is point less to discuss.
but....I do respect most slab climbs, especially if they are 5.13
But I'm totally gonna send it... after i graduate...
I forget where exactly but somewhere in Whistler there is this place where there was (is?) farmed ice. I know that there are some mixed routes there. Look in 'West Coast Ice' the ice guide for SW B.C. Look for the routes: Chocking the Chicken and Farmer Finestone I believe. I think there is some mixed stuff on Seymour too...
Yeah i woke up this morning and my floor is covered in water... my room is in the basement and the basement floor is covered in a fucking inch of water... This s ucks...
