My DAUGHTER did Trek :-D.
Yes I saw Mr Treks video... And I thought BC QUEST was liberal
Hope you are still keeping her locked up in the house after dark?
I am available for baby sitting services if you want to get away for a while....

Wow Evel, thanks. We have our disagreements on occasion, but compared to the rest of st we're pretty civil ;)
Bruce ya I got up this morning. It was heavy. Not like the nice light stuff we've had all year! Still pretty good, typical whistler snow not too wet. Pretty busy, I think half the city took the day off!!!

I don't remember my climbing origins. Fortunately, my mother took notes:
"His first steps were at 10 1/2 mo. At that age he could climb into chairs and the sofa and let himself down as well.
By '51 he was climbing up into the little shrubby tree by the back door. He neatly turns around and lets himself down from high places.
For his second birthday we took him to the San Antonio Zoo which delighted him..."
That zoo is where the idea of climbing rocks and the amazing athletes doing it so impressed my little mind.

BK that clip almost makes sense. Scarey.
Contrary to what some of you may have heard:
.....There is no good skiing/powder in the Koots.
.....There is no good rockclimbing.
.....There is no good mountaineering or alpine rock.
.....There are no 'klassy womens', or 'burn your eyeballs babes'.
It is better to stay at the coast, or head directly to the Rockies. The Kootenay Chamber of Commerce and the Tourist Bureau lies like a bouldering mat.

Pardon the minor interruption, but... January 10, 2013 is the absolute last day for submitting comments regarding the proposed amendments to the Garibaldi Park Master Plan. Most important is to provide your opinion regarding whether or not to continue to allow heli-skiing in the Spearhead Range near Whistler.

Get on it, people.

Maybe the blackcomb spire will be ready for an ascent next week if this inversion rumour becomes reality? BK what do you think? Too much snow still or is it possible?

The 11 will be good to go! The main trad route always has a snow patch to deal with...

Here is a historical pic from 1990 of the base of Burgers and Fries. The VOC to blame for the webbing harness and hip belay. Everything else is my fault.
The scariest thing about this pic is that there was still vegetation at the bottom of Burgers and Fries in 1990.
