It was a crappy call then


and the photo review confirms it - bad call on Ottawa Hammerhead.

(#77 claimed that Kelly pushed him off; Kelly's comment was that he went straight up, and the Ottawa guy jumped into his space after he was already occupying it). Posted by Picasa

Grand Trunk 2005: Year in Review

Wow. That Danny character is something else.

If anyone was wondering what I was doing on weekends last summer, check it out.

Kluane Lake Research Station

The strip!

More neat science stuff they do up there when not couriering climbers

Seriously, they do a lot of science up there. Here's the master list.

Climbing Mt. Logan, but doing some science like this
Hubbard Glacier

Weather's Good for Dad

I think he managed to fly in on Thursday, which ought to maximise his mountain time this year, compared to the ten days at Kluane Lake last summer.

Oh no

Canadian Canoe Routes :: View topic - Where I'm at with CCR

I'll likely post something longer, but this is one of the best resource sites for canoeing, winter camping and general outdoors issues anywhere. The creator is burnt out and thinking of retiring it - which, while totally understandable, is a shame.

GB Results/Stories?

Yeah. That just about sums it up.
"Friday night was a gong-show. This being my first Blender, I don't think I was prepared for the amount of effort put into the sites. Bad Medicine had nurses feeding you shots while you lied on a stretcher, Nuge X had a Tim Horton's drive-thru (complete with booze-injected timbits), and one team had a plinko-variant called Drink-o. Both HH and Fish spent a fair amount of time there, and Gavin convinced the host team to change the game to Strip-o in the end."

Gulp!


One night last week I came home to find my street closed with police tape and a squad car in front of the house. After moments of panic (and internal thoughts of insurance?), I found out why. Sorry for the horrible picture, but the flash didn't work. Basically, a tree fell across the street from me in a thunderstorm. Posted by Picasa
