layton Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Heard it's not gettting published since no one bought the south. Any one heard this? Wonder if we can send a check and get a ghetto xerox copy or pdf file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 it is all finished and needs like a day of editing to go to the printers.. sales of SS were supposedly disappointing and a source of discord between author and publisher with each blaming the other... Â it isnt 8 years overdue yet like the wadd guide was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hmmm, lets see, moderately sized, completely obscure, chossy mountains a days drive from anywhere else all which require multiple days of suffering or an expensive ass heli-ride to get to. The one exception being Sir Donald which seems to only get climbed while on the way to somewhere else (ie Rockies and Bugaboos). Â And it didn't sell?! Gee Golly! Whos fault could it be.

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 The northern selkirks have big granite. Not so chossy. But if there are xerox copies for sale I am on the wanters market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 It would be a stretch of the imagination to describe the Battle Range as chossy. "Snaffle-infested"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 To call them moderate in size might be a stretch too. But he does make a couple of valid points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 "moderately sized, completely obscure, chossy mountains" Â Hmmm... Yes. Stay out of the Selkirks North, because they are totally chossy. There aren't 2,000 ft. walls of Prusik-quality granite. Mt. Adamant, the Tusk, and Iron Man aren't steep at all, and the Black Friar peaks - they just look lame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dberdinka Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Adamants are not in the Southern Selkirks (obviously), only commenting on the book already published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 (edited) I was a bit rude earlier... The reason I want this guidebook is cuz of the adamants. Also guidebooks rule, not cuz of the beta, but the photos. Love those photos. I'd rather have 200p of photos upon photos and no text, than anything. Also one guide for an area is way cheaper than sifting through countless journals. Â ps. Colin, way to rip on dberdinkass. you should do that more often.

Colin Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 "ps. Colin, way to rip on dberdinkass. you should do that more often." Â I did realize after I made my post that it comes off as pretty rude. I even knew that Dberdinka was talking about Selkirks South, I just wanted to make an allusion to the awesome rock in the Adamants. That place blows away most of the Cascades.

layton Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 someone please post photos of the Adamants. Colin, Dberdinka is a big boy with a good sense of humor. Only little men get offended by that stuff. Watch... Â ...hey Darin! You can't come to the pub club cuz Colin's gonna be there and you know what your court order says about you and people Colin's age... The level III'ers are having a bbq across the street.
