The person in the picture looks lankyer than me

I used to hang my belay device on my front left gear loops when being belayed. Well I top out and set up the ropes and rappel. Half way down I realize my belay device is clipped into the gear loop... I've also belayed off it before to. Some guy walked over and just started clipping beaners from the gear loop to my belay loop and didn't say a thing so the guy climbin never knew . Felt pretty stupid that day. I just leave the belay device on the belay loop now.

Colman demming for skiing. I can only go if we leave early early sunday cause I have to be back sunday night to pack and shop for a trip to Robson leaving Monday morning.

Can you leave in the early morning tommorow or does it have to be the afternoon? If you want to ski it and do it leaving very early sunday (4ish) i'd love to go. I live in White Rock and don't have a car which may also be a problem.

Garfield. There are never any people there either. I forget what the place is called but it's at the pullout at the top of the furry creek hill.

Maybe the person will check the wind direction before they jump next time. The wind in their face should have been the first clue

Heading up to the Joffre group for some alpine ice and rock

Love the instinctive rope grab. Classic

I woulda cut between the bones like when carving a turkey. If you hit the right spot the arm just slides off!

Can't you just wear latex gloves at work? Then you can get cut up all you want.

7.5(ish) 30m. It's so light you'll end up taking it more often than if it's an 8.5 50m. You can buy it off the bulk rolls

A tarn Lake is a lake that forms in a glacial cirque.

Not scary but funny. I hear a whole lot of scraping and cursing from my friend on a slab as he takes a fair sized fall, belayer asks "you want to be lowered" friend says with a strait face "na, I still got MOST of my skin"

I agree with Sphinx, I learned by going out with very experienced people and just followed their lead, which is exactly what Wood is trying to do. Right on Wood.

I soooo did the same thing !

I got pretty ripped up trying to ACCESS the alpine to ski. Road was so overgrown the we counted about 7 woody species and visability was down to about 75m . Had to employ the chuck skiis ahead 2m and crawl through criss crossing alders method. Moved 700M in 1hr . Decided to go climb at squamish instead

4?! I answered yes to 8

I bet a girl at work she couldn't down 3 liters of water, she was puking at 2.5 .

Is that even physicly possible?

Duct tape on a toque! Priceless.

Partners up would be great! I'll be e-mailing you guys when I move up in September .

Working out and sleeping release HGH.

I go solo top rope aid and free climbing and know and have heard of lots of other people who do as well, however, I got to thinking, do people go solo top roped ice climbing? Seems so me if you had a bomber ancor (trees, lots of screws, gear) that it would work just the same. Do people not do it because of objective risks like ice falling or breaking off? Nothing can replace a belayer but i'll be moving to Kamloops and climbing in marble canyon and might not meet any iceclimbers by the time the season starts.

Coleman demming, vancouver-vancouver 15hrs

I thought Lena Rowat was with them as well? I've only met Guy a few times but he was very friendly (even to a newbie climber like me). I hope everything works out.
