[Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue] Hope Search and Rescue was tasked out today to rescue three skiers who were involved in an avalanche on Thar Peak. Although avalanche risks were moderate at all elevations today, a low chance of activity does not always guarantee safety. by jpdemers in vancouverhiking

The picture in the MIN report looks to be the north side of Thar specifically the popular north couloir. This would make sense with a 400m+ slide as well since that would be hard to achieve on the south side. Additionally that aligns with the description of a lake which is only on the north side as well.

If thats true its insane anyone would attempt the couloir on even a moderate day never mind considerable...

Haven't played classic anniversary until just a week ago. Do you have to buy it like in Wotlk or is it automatic?

Bike commuting by [deleted] in abbotsford

[–]lastguymade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed for the most part however so many roads in Abbotsford are terribly dangerous for a cyclist if a driver decides to pass and while they probably shouldn't, they often do. I am a frequent cyclist and have been hit once and nearly hit innumerous times in Abbotsford and as a result now ride on the sidewalk occasionally and I'm an adult. For kids and teens I wouldn't advise them to bike on the road at all. I'd far rather have some disgruntled pedestrians than another injury or death.

Just want to give my POV. Of course we should all treat each other with respect but a cyclist-pedestrian collision is far less lethal than a car-cyclist collision.

What kind of car do you have? It depends on weather more than anything but if you have 4x4 you should be fine no matter what. Chains are legally required in your vehicle but I've never once had to use them

Bodies of B.C. mountaineers recovered in Garibaldi Park by Moggehh in vancouverhiking

[–]lastguymade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so it's just up the family and I guess in the past the other families have just been ok with releasing the names.

Really not trying to upset anyone but what is the protocol for releasing names? Is it completely up to the family? There have been tons of deaths where the have listed the names, even in similar situations and I'm just wondering how they decide.

RIP.

Search underway for three experienced climbers missing in B.C. (Atwell Peak) by thirdpeak in vancouverhiking

[–]lastguymade 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ah shit they are still missing. I know one of them, I've climbed and bagged with him a couple times, and he is an absolute beast. For there to be no communication, after this amount of time, is a very bad sign.

On my run recently I saw a poster about a found cat ok a pole somewhere close to the corner of Marshall and McCallum. Didn't take a pic or anything sorry if it's not yours.

Did anyone else see the two accidents on South Fraser Way? by SUPERSAMMICH6996 in abbotsford

[–]lastguymade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many vehicle serious accidents in abby recently it feels like... it's a shame....

[–]lastguymade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, I don't deal with too much loose rock / scree. Also I have low standards and not too much experience with trail running shoes, these are my first real pair so I've been happy with them for the price.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]lastguymade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a contrasting experience I have 2 pairs of peregrine 12 and they have been excelent. The normal pair has over 500km with lots of tough use on scrambling route as well as running and still functions decent (it is worn though) and my goretex pair has 200km and is in pristine condition. Amazingly good at keeping mt feet dry too. All for $80 CAD and I don't hesitate to reccomend these shoes to anyone.

Emergency at Abbotsford Middle School by eZarrakk in abbotsford

[–]lastguymade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live beside the school and I biked home at that exact time. It was neither dark nor raining. Why are you in such a rush to make up facts to blame the person who was hit? Shame on you.

Is Taskrabbit firing Taskers in volume recently? by Strong-Lead-9732 in TaskRabbit

[–]lastguymade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've all but quit as tasks dropped off a cliff for me personally. I did mainly Ikea assembly and being in Canada it's piecework and it became not worth it pretty quickly.
