We were all drunk the entire trip, but the best part was taking the beers out into the snow and sledding into the road. We didn't do any skiing that trip, but fun times even if I can't really relate it into text.
Sitting your beers in the snow is awesome. Keeps it the perfect temperature.

exactly. And the times when you can't relate it into text are normally the best times.
There was this other time, when I went to a concert in Toronto on a party bus. Won't say what was ingested while on the way there, but it was on paper. Went to the concert, met some guys, missed the party bus back and ended up with these guys at a party in Toronto. Was there for 2 days before I was so burned out I needed to come home.
This was in the days before cell phones (yes a loong time ago) and my friends who got back on the party bus had no idea where I got to. Thank god they didn't report me missing!

Didn't you get the shower curtain up and everything now? I still need to finish the cabinets and do the floor tile and put in a new toilet. We don't even have a new toilet yet. I want to get the "Champion 4" but Bec says it is to expensive. I say how can you argue with a toilet called "The Champion 4"? you could take some powerful poops in a CHAMPION 4

I'm used to driving 4-5 hours each weekend...8 is kinda pushing it. That's what I was bitching about yea, I know rock is what most people go for, but I know of at least one or two places that SHOULD form up at the NRG. Sure, it won't be as good as the dacs, but it seems like there should be some ice somewhere in that state this weekend.
What makes you think it would form? Ice formation is weird. A lot of places you think it would won't. Water seeping out of the rock then flowing down the face before dripping off into space is good. The flow has to be right to. To heavy and it needs to get super cold to start the formation. To light and it will lock up in the rock.

On top of a British flag its Queen this and Queen that. Someday, hopefully they change it by then, I'll have to swear allegiance to the Queen when I become a Canadian Citizen.
It just got cold here on Friday. There should be something this weekend. I'm hoping that we can hit our close to home spot Wed. or Thurs. I don't know if the ice will be ready yet there though. I've seen the one route form up in two days, but the rock was already pretty frozen and it got very cold. That route takes the least amount of ice to climb the route. All the others it needs to be big enough to climb up and have it not fall down. It would suck to knock down a well forming drip making have to start over. Or have it fall on us.

You need to bring your boots over this week so we can try some crampons on them. I think we have a set that will work. Thats the problem I don't really have a cold weather clothing system. And thursday is the tentative night. I will bring the boots
What time are you coming over? We might quick sneak out after Bec gets done with work for a short bit. If there is climbable ice.

In reply to: We live up on the niagara escarpment (preserved biosphere) but it is not even close to a real mountain. It does make the city interesting though because all the roads have to be built up the escarpment. And the weather is different up here than it is down below. Here's some facts for you (I know how MB likes the facts) The Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve is situated in the Canadian province of Ontario. The biosphere reserve stretches 725 km from Lake Ontario (near Niagara Falls) to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula (between Georgian Bay and Lake Huron). Much of the Escarpment corridor is forested and crosses two major biomes: boreal needle leaf forests in the north and temperate broadleaf forests in the south. The biosphere reserve also includes wetland complexes, cliff faces, slopes and aquatic ecosystems. It also helps fuck access.  The Biosphere reserve BS that is. You are correct. But it's allright that they blast a football field size hole in the side of it to build an expressway, but climbers can't clip bolts on the already bolted part of escarpment because of access.
Actually the blasted it a couple places recently. On the way to your place and on the other side going to Guelf.
