Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 From lower mainland. Maybe stretch to the 4th or 8th. Film fest, ice-climbing? If cold temps persist over there, I'm going. Have all gear, including an extra set of tools, need climbing partner. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 that sounds great ... but what about a fast-flying jet for those of us who have real jobs? people stuck in town should see the events forum for the nov. 6th "ice" comp at cascade crags ... Quote
Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 No jet, prob leave after work and drive most of the night. Hell, you can sleep in the back, wake up in Banff and pretend it was a teleporter! Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 you planning on doing more trips like that this winter? Quote
Bogen Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 Yes, minimum one per month. If Lillooet comes in well, then less driving more climbing. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 hey check the sale on westjet. $86 CAN one way from abbotsfort to calgary- 1hr flight. what sucks- now u have to pay for parking though. abbotsfort is less then 3 hours from seattle. tlg- i might be going there over thanksgiving- if u need a ride.

Bogen Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Parking is free at abbotsford airport, but if you fly, then you have to rent, and still drive 2 hours. By the time you get to the airport 1 hour early, fly, land, rent a car and drive to banff you have used 5 hours, and spent more money. 10 hour drive from abbottsford to banff. You can do that after work and still get a decent sleep, spending less money than you would if you stayed home and got drunk cause you're feeling sorry for yourself. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 not sure about thanksgiving. well, maybe the day after i could go for the weekend. but i'd need a partner, too. i'll have to see what happens between now and then before i make any plans, though. i definitely wanna go when you take your old roomie (mr. rr) out for his first time so sign me up for that one for sure.

glassgowkiss Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 as far as littlewet the van leaves 4:00 am sharp from b-ham every sat morning, as long as there is ice. so you can always catch a ride with the crew. Quote
Coondog Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Hey Bogen- Â I'm interested in climbing some Banff ice, drinking biers and watching mountain porn movies... I'm gainfully unemployed, what else should I be doing? Â I've got an appointment Thurs morning which I could probably change anyway, then open for the weekend... Â Lemme know. Â Cheers- --Jeff Quote
