    The ones in Essendilene (aka Issendilene) in southeastern Algeria are pretty messed up. The one in Paradiso is pretty small-I've seen pretty short people bridge that one.

    Surprised also that Lost...

    PNW has had an exceptionally cool and wet spring and early summer this year, and Wallace is not a creek to do in anything less than ideal conditions. Add to that the fact that descents are...

    There was actually an earlier article in Outside from the mid-80's. I believe it was written by Rick Fisher and covered places like Salome, Cibecue, Crystal and the West Clear complex. A little...

    Yeah, Alcatraz had only a few ankle deep pools in the upper part. By mid-afternoon, all the southern slickrock exposures, and a good percentage of the northern ones, had melted free. The snow was...

    Lost gps on Cascade

    I seemed to have returned from a trip up the south ridge of Cascade (via Big Springs), minus my Garmin 60CX. If anyone happens to be up there and finds one, prior to the impending seasonal burial,...

    Nice colours in the Corkscrew, Mr. Ransom. FWIW, it took me about 48 hours to forget the heat beating from the end of July trip.

    That second rap is probably the best I've seen in SW BC, Kevin. Although there is that one on the Island...:crazy:

    Almost brings a tear to my eye, seeing those canyons getting done. Good call on Terepocki-took me several attempts before Ken and I got the green light. There is a small drainage dropping in on...

    Bridge is fixed. Basin is drying out just fine. Lots of people up Kings yesterday. You'll be fighting the bugs for space.

    I'd guess maybe 50-60 people on the short stretch of dam when I walked back at 4 PM yesterday. Campgrounds in the vicinity are closed, and lower down in the canyon, everything with an inch of flat...

    A quick update for you, from today. Mirror partially open, Lost is essentially ice free, Wall has open water near the outlet, and no people, Trial is crowded but has lots of ice free surface. Notch...

    Bad snow year up there too. Canyon season might be mighty short in the PNW this year (got out just in time!). Thoughts for you, with low headwaters, might be Eagle Creek in the Columbia Gorge, and...

    Awww, come on, Scott. You have to admit, it was a pretty impressive throw. Worthy of the (thankfully non-existent) Vancouver Grizzlies!:haha:

    Mark Synott has a guidebook out on Auyuittuq and the Pond Inlet big wall country. Good self-torture material, especially if you're not Charlie Porter or someone of similar talent. The Arctic in...

    Looked mostly snow-free on the south side, by the end of last Sunday. That said, Fool Peak to the south was quite snowy, and had some deep, calorie-sucking snowdrifts on the west ridge, above 8300'....

    Scott-you just haven't done "enough" of Antelope ;-). Not that it can be remedied at the present time.

    Personal thought is that I have never had a bad day in a canyon. That includes exploratory...

    White Roost was in good shape yesterday. About 4m of total water exposure-nuts deep on my stunted frame. Most of the area access was fine too, although obviously the present weather conditions will...

    Shane, that backlit wall fragment shot is fantastic. I'll echo canyonbug's comment about these being the best shots I've ever seen of the place. Is the guide acting in some sort of official capacity,...

    Pretty awesome report. I had this canyon recommended by a local (well, Israel local, anyway) when we linked up for a trip through Das Boot a couple of years ago. It's great to see the mentioned...

    Nice looking trip, kev. Glad you managed to avoid the fire-generated pall that seems to be covering the entire province these days. FWIW, Ashlu, and Foley still elude me, as well.

    Oh, and btw-one...

    A great day it was, Kevin. I had forgotten just how much Last Exit packs into a short distance. An appropriate finisher for the PNW if my "hectic day" develops into something more. I would definitely...

    Cypress Creek?? Should be a bit bigger, methinks-like a IV V4 A4-strictly speaking. Maybe something with a linked big air sequence.

    If you're going to use me, Jenny, I suggest that the route of...
