Squid Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I get to go to the Yukon for work That's Canadian for "My boss can't stand me & he can't afford to send me all the way to Siberia." Quote
Alpinfox Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Lucky bastard. So are you gonna go? If you need an assistant; let me know. I know all about rocks and stuff. Quote
Dru Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 I don't know yet whether I get to schedule any climbing around the work time. hope so. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I love the Yukon. I have many very nice memories from there. Have fun! Quote
ken4ord Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Less than 100 kms from Cirque of the Unclimbables That is quite an approach to the climbing still. Quote
AlpineK Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Less than 100 kms from Cirque of the Unclimbables That is quite an approach to the climbing still. One point that Dru hasn't brought up is that coming from the Yukon you'd have to do a month of brushwacking to get to the cirque. Not that it can't be done, but only a handfull of people have walked to the cirque. Quote
Dru Posted June 7, 2005 Author Posted June 7, 2005 But we have a helicopter at our disposal so The chances I will actually get to climb in the Cirque are slim to none, though. The peaks around the area we are going to be working in are mostly unclimbed but also mostly low piles of rubble Quote
AlpineK Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Yeah everything else I saw from the plane looked boring. There is the Vampire(?) range north of the cirque. Unfortunalely helicopters cost too much to just joyride wherever. Quote
Dechristo Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Ain't the Yukon Ho Union gonna pitch-a-fit over a BC Ho comin' in and snappin' up their biz? Quote

jordop Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 If Druupy goes north who will put up all the new classic dirt and choss routes in SWBC this summer? Who will compile all the grade 0.5 routres for the AAJ? Anarchy unleashed upon the masses Quote
Double_E Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 farthest north I've ever been was car-camping on the Yukon River, near Whitehorse. never will forget how damn big that river was.... we were probably over 1000 miles upstream from the ocean and it still looked like it had the same discharge as the mouth of the Skagit. Quote
Dru Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 oK, i missed the solstice but I'm still going see ya in July Quote
Dechristo Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Have a great time. Glacier: nice bit of editting turning Norah O'Donnell into "MSNBC - The White Ho". Quote
