And after Matlock

Well.......I think our work here is done. It's not often that a thread of such caliber ends so appropriately. Explorer- Thanks for becoming a part of cc.com history, and don't be a stranger.

I don't fit the authentic age, height, and weight guidelines. But I'm really cynical, does that help?

You could post in the partner forum and see if you could get a cat load. But agree with Alex, the walk from T-Line isn't bad. And much better form

No, but I'm happy that the article is true to the HYPERBOLE CANYON tradition.

Stupid climate change.

That gully route on Whistler is indeed good, but it is sometimes melted out by early May. The Early Winters Couloir is another option (but may be melted out by early May). All depends on the spring. Some good spring skis/scrambles (with the right conditions) up by WA pass include: Mt. Hardy, Graybeard, Frisco. I agree that it will be a bit cold/wet for the pure rock routes at the pass (most years).

That's funny, and not as hard to do as you'd think, at least if the weather is bad. I remember dropping out of the clouds one time and saying to my partner, "I didn't remember Heliotrope ridge having a big lateral moraine like the Railroad Grade!" We made a hard right turn and were able to traverse over to the saddle without too much extra effort. It was humbling, to say the least.

And we need a pub-club slideshow to witness said donation!

HEAR THAT ALL YOU HYPERBOLE HATERS?

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN SNIPPED??!!! AT LEAST IT WAS A HARDCORE VASECTOMY. I HURT FOR WEEKS.

SEVEN HOURS!!!??? No wonder it hadn't been discovered. I never get even 7 minutes from my television.

Listen to Dan and Loren. And you might want to look into routes in the Enchantments.

I CAN'T HANDLE THE SUSPENSE ANY LONGER. I HAVE LOOKED AT THIS PAGE 15,687 TIMES BUT I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE CANYON IS.

I think Darin nailed it the first time around. I'm sticking with Hyperbole Canyon. The funny part (to me) is that if this is the same spot detailed over on NWhikers, it is only a mile or two from a road. Not exactly really far into the middle of nowhere. Rugged yes, but a far cry from the "Pole of remoteness" that Mr. Roper so aptly named and Mr. Wallace so aptly soloed. No fanfare, no T.V. show with that "discovery". But, I certainly agree, Hyperbole Canyon looks beautiful. OFG looks have done a great job with filming the segment as well.

Yes Yes No Deep Yes ("Slurpee Death") Massive Cornices

Not really You mean some of the neanderthals around here look at other websites? That's pretty funny.

I want to know the bolt count.

We'll miss you Mr. Bauer. Talk about a far reaching impact! http://www.alpenglow.org/nwmj/05/051_Bauer1.html http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/wolf-bauer-103-mountaineer-environmentalist-dies/

Yep, Loren speaks the truth. Stay at Muir, climb Gib ledges, descend the ID. I found Gib Ledges to be quite a bit better than expected in winter conditions.

Or, in my particular case, HFC stands for "hardly found competent".

This build-up is pretty entertaining. Hyperbole Canyon indeed. Even the Grand Canyon would have a hard time living up to this.

Same. They are close to their goal, so I encourage others to donate as well. I never knew Mark, but he seemed like quite a guy.

Damn. This is heartbreaking. Those photos......

I'll add to the heaps of praise. This is one of the best TRs I've seen (well, since your last one), otherworldly and aesthetic. I can't believe you crammed that all into 2.5 weeks. That takes guts as well. My hat's off to you both.
