    This is a real question !!

    Maybe I ought to take the cup back anyway since it now has a dent in the bottom from where I wacked it with a hammer shocked.gif

     

    (I was going to use a flat board like klenke suggested to distribute the blow, but all I had lying around was a wooden shim - doh!)

    This is a real question !!

    If I'm reading this correctly you got this stuck at altitude and the suction of the negative pressure is keeping the canister snug in there.

     

    I wish the story was that cool. No, I just threw a bunch of stuff in the trunk, the cannister ended up in the cup, and then got squashed in there by something.

    This is a real question !!

    Maybe try cooling the gas cannister and heating the cup. Maybe put some ice cubes in the depression in the cannister.

    I tried something similar, but it didn't work.

     

    Maybe try spraying something like wd40 around the edge in the hopes that it will seep in along the edges.

    Didn't have any wd40 handy so I used olive oil, didn't work.

     

    If worst comes to worst you could probably puncture the cannister. How full is it? Just be careful and do it outside.

    I'm sure this would work, are you volunteering?

     

    I think I'll try Klenke's first suggestion, I'm not sure I understand the second one tongue.gif

    The low tech steak knife didn't work and I already tried the uber geeky approach of putting the whole thing in the freezer, then running hot water on the outside of the cup thinking I'd heat the cup quickly causing it to expand and the cannister would still be cold, the differential would then magically free the cannister .. no such luck.

     

    This cup was expensive!! .. let me go see if I can find some epoxy.

    Great Gear, blowout prices !!

    I need to pay for my new digital camera, and trips to canada. So I'm selling some great gear that's just taking up room in my apartment. I live in Kirkland, and if you're local you can come by to see the stuff in person, or I can take other pictures if you like. We can meet to exchange cash for gear, or I'll ship on your dime. Send me a pm or respond here. I'm headed out to stuff my face tonight, and then I'm leaving for Banf first thing tomorrow morning so I won't be able to respond until Monday.

    You might be a week too soon. Two days ago, there was NOTHING formed. Carl's Berg was a series of frozen drips and Rambles was super thin. Only thing in was Isodore Gully (WI2). I think we need a coupla sunny days after this snow to set up some melt/freeze action

     

    Judging on resent weather conditions history trend… not enough time to form well…I will wait for more consistent cold conditions to form more then a icicles/daggers

    Yeah I can’t wait either

     

    go rock climbing you wanks!

     

    Everyone was right, there was no ice, I shoulda stayed home.

    Saber, sure it's easy but it feels harder than 5.4. Both classic crack and dogleg crack at 5.8 felt pretty hard to me.

     

    At smith the 'panic' pitch coming out of the monkey's mouth - not the straight up bolt ladder, but the rightward traverse - felt way hard at 5.7. The crack to the left of bbq the pope feels harder than 10a at the top.

     

    Everything at index. (i so suck)

    I'm with you, running is a chore. My solution is to waste money on new stuff. Right now, I'm loading songs on a little mp3 player I picked up a few weeks ago. It's great to run to music that you like, with every song something uptempo. It so sucked running with a radio, when all the stations I can pick up are doing ads at the same time.

     

    You can get a 128MB model for <100 bucks.

    Me and Eric8 did the NE buttress today. We wanted to beat the crowds, so we arrived at the trailhead at 4 (am). We then proceeded to lose the entirely obvious, essentially paved track and wander around in the woods for an hour. Wait, it gets better! After about an hour, Eric says "Hey, I see a light there! Must be some people camping near the lake!" Two minutes later, I notice the light moving...I look closer, and it's a snowcat! We managed to walk in a circle, convinced we were heading up the valley! So after cussing ourselves roundly as idiots, etc, we headed up the trail again, only to lose it again! THIS time, however, we follow the compass, to make sure that we wouldn't walk in a circle. After a while of bushwhacking, we see headlamps, and hear voices. We thrash in that direction, to find the trail!
