Dryden has suites with kitchens too. A bit pricey but definitely a more aesthetic location than August Jack

Blue "love seat" size couch with fold out bed. It's not the most fashionable piece of furniture but its clean and functional and the price is right. In Garibaldi Springs. PM me if interested

actually, the helmet still gives you a false sense of security. you won't do a certain climb unless you're wearing it. so you wear it to prevent your head from getting hit by a rock, now you feel safer and will do the climb, you go into an area where you can get hit by a rock, only your head is pro...

The girl friend of a good friend of mine was killed by a head injury sustained in a fall on a sport climb. I also witnessed the fatal accident at Chek this spring. In that case the helmet made little difference to the outcome but if the circumstances of the fall had been different the helmet could h...

I think the line I'm asking about follows the more horizontal crack in the picture--the one with shrubs in it--except I think the shrubs are now gone. The second pitch, again from memory, would be the same corner/roof system as the one pictured, only it follows the section below and to the left outs...

I was the one who asked about the rap situation in the 1st post, and having checked it out I think the Pinup raps are more than adequate. The new trail is (almost absurdly) well marked and takes only a few minutes to get down. I spent a day at the Papoose each of the past 2 w/e and Pinup and the las...

Or just flip flops. Much lighter and less bulky clipped to the back of the harness. I've never done angels crest but I find flip flops are fine for walking off the chief backside trail, and I have yet to do a squish approach where flips were not sufficient to get to the point where you want to be we...

Good to know, thx

Does anyone know if you can rap the Papoose off the Centerfold anchors with a single 60M rope? (I know there is a good walkoff as well.)

I thought I saw 2 strands through her rap device, but I could easily be wrong. I just glanced at it in passing as things were being unclipped. I should have paid attention but was focused on other tasks. I did notice that the 2 guys in the victim's party examined it pretty closely when they were pic...

Happy Mothers' Day indeed.

I really can't make sense of what happened.

Yesterday, around 3:30 or so. It's really unclear to me what happened. I was belaying on a route about 25 M to lookers right when I heard a noise and some shouts that at first made me think a big rock was falling. I looked over and half a second later saw that it was a person and instantly felt sick...
