All I get are ads for Valhalla this and Valhalla that. I never knew there was a Valhalla anti-itch cream.

Typically ads are targeted based on your web history......

I wish I could say I was surprised. Sorry to hear about the end of your day Luke.

You'll love Olympus, if you get the weather. It's Classic with a capital C.

I've never climbed in the Waddington Range, but it is high on my list. Get the excellent guide by Don Serl and pick something that seems challenging. You won't be disappointed.

The glaciers in the Bugs are fairly tame, but the climbing can be remarkably similar to Patagonia in early season (May/June). For glaciated approaches to alpine rock routes, Marble Creek Cirque in NCNP is a good bet (July). Early Morning Spire, the West Face of Dorado Needle, and the west arete of Eldorado are all good climbs, though probably much easier and shorter than what you have in mind in Patagonia. For the real deal, you might want to check out the Waddington Range. After early summer in the Bugs and Cascades, you would be ready to see how it goes in a much bigger range that will throw more challenge your way. If all goes well, Patagonia beckons the following fall/winter. To be honest though, I think most would find trekking (and scrambling easy peaks) down around Chalten and Torres del Paine just fine if the climbing in Patagonia is more exciting than you would like. I know I didn't climb a single pitch and had a grand time. There is now lots of sport climbing and bouldering down there if the alpine is out of condition or too daunting.

The name just gets more and more fitting.

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.
