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.

GAIA it is....thanks for all the input!

You did them a favor, we all have to grow up some time.

Yeah, we all know that Colin is an heir to that Brown & Haley Almond Roca fortune. Thanks Mr. Cheese, that is some interesting info.

Ah....now this is starting to make more sense. Still terrible, but not quite as baffling as the slope I was thinking it was.

The same slope we skied a few weeks back?

OK, back to the subject at hand. We miss you Doug!

Sounds like a terrible accident, though I don't really have any details. NWAC is sending staff up there today to investigate, so hopefully we know more soon. The scary part is that many (myself included) thought that the rain had taken care of the PWL. Condolences to all involved, and their friends and family.

Glad it worked out and you got to climb some ice! But..... did you scare yourself?
