glassgowkiss Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 from west coast ice: A request on the use of the English Language and the somewhat useless word “in”: This oft-abused term seems to be coined by ruthless individuals who have not climbed the route mentioned in the hope that some suckas will do the drive, approach, and poking around to see if the climb is actually possible. No offence, but some routes mentioned in the last few reports were clearly by people who have not even pulled out the binos, let alone gotten their noses up at the base of the route. Some really keen people (a.k.a. American tourists spending American dollars in cash-strapped Lillooet)) are driving a long way hoping to do some of these routes. A little clarity in such descriptions would be welcome, as opposed to the mysterious classic Coastal “hints” as to what is involved with a route. yea, I agree 100%. Last sat we waded across the river to Deep Throat just to find open water and something that could collapse under a weight of a climber.

glassgowkiss Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 no, not everything you can see with pornoculars. and as the matter of fact you can't see how thick the ice is. that's the whole point. people should actually at least do the approach before they spray on bb. Dru- i remeber a couple of years ago you said Criptonite was in. so was NW passage supposed to be. an inspection at the base of the climbs showed whole sections of ice missing at the bottom. i can see if someone actually said- "from the road the climb looks to be in, but we did not approach it".

G-spotter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Poor oppressed Pole. Blame Russia. You can see the whole Deep Throat from the road Bob, if you know the right place. Should have looked harder before you waded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 BTW, can you even read English? Only one report this whole winter on Deep Throat, and it says "open and running": http://www.westcoastice.com/Page86.aspx Who are you blaming for saying it was in? Your own illiteracy?
