We can all afford nice lives because we white people a) killed 90% of the Natives in north america with diseases, and marginalised the rest, then b) stole their land, and after that, c) began extracting from that land the resources-- timber, oil, NG, water, coal, metals, agricultural products etc-- ...

Some interesting stuff, esp. in light of a few near-misses (on my and others' parts) over the last few years. Most significant is "Anyone performing route development is completely responsible for his/her actions, regardless of the risk mitigation they may have used." More or less in line with liabi...

(I put this in the L&F as well) So...today we did Freeway Lite, and on rapping off the Truck Stop cave/ledge/roof, our tag line got stuck on the chains. If anybody climbs Freeway soon and wanted to bring our rope down, beer and hugs and serious gratitude would be yours. :D If you wanted to climb Fre...

no, this was a few years ago. If we could get the cleaning/rockfall issues dorted, great rehab proj...Frimer? I did the first maybe 7 pitches, which are pretty good. We bailed... At one point, I was standing on a slab (barely) and reached up into where the rock gets crappier. There was a good horizo...

I've been first responder at two head-injury accidents. Neither victim wore a helmet; in both cases there would have been little or no injury had helmets been worn; in one case, the guy would have bled to death in literally two minutes had my partner and I not been there. Amazing how much blood come...

I did the first maybe 7 pitches, which are pretty good. We bailed... At one point, I was standing on a slab (barely) and reached up into where the rock gets crappier. There was a good horizontal, then another, and I heaved myself up, both feet off the slab, threw a left up and found a sideways slot ...

do it, it`s awesome

twould be brilliant...faces south and all. tyrolean will never happen, though...they are a fair bit of work (physically) esp when they are long.

Rainfall doesn't cause polish. If anything, it causes weathering, leading to less polish. true. Climb flying circus in late August, throw a couple more letter grades on there. climb it in march, back down to 10a...the rains, plus a bit of freeze&thaw, work wonders. Dru is right-- it's gumbie, gym-t...

seconded.
Defs try "fiddler on the roof" and for shorter stuff, the fox, and red zinger.
no tape

It's dirty harry's route and it's a perfect line-- crack to very hard slab moves on natural holds. the real squeze jobs int he garden are slammed in between various cracks, not out where harry's route is.

Until we get the traffic out here it's going to be a problem. Some "SQUAMISH" climbers who visited Harrison were pretty impressed and said they were glad to be climbing in our neighborhood where there were no line ups..... It's only going to get better because there are quite a few more people show...

looking for good mixed stuff too ... preferably bolted as climbs with good pro would already be actual rock climbs i guess something to do in the rain white blotter looked pretty mixed last year...the top was fat and the bottom was non existent. I was across the valley doing that long WI4, can't re...

Get on it early! no, get on the second shift-- every yuppie cunt and their girl/boyfriend will be on it at 7 AM both w/e days. worse even is you will find few parties of 3 (who will say to you the dreaded words "we'll be fast"). much better to sleep in and drinka few gallons of coffee and head up a...
