Just came in the door after a 8k run between snow storms. I went out yesterday just after lunch into Cougar Creek to do a bit of a rope work session. It was fine when I went in and the rock was dry enough for climbing. After a few laps on the rope it started puking snow! I am talking 4 cm´s per hour!!! Good times. Pretty normal for this time of year though as there always seems to be up-slope weather patterns here in the spring, we did have 97cm´s in 1 day last Mai. Yeah, good times!
Tomorrow after Erin is done work we will be heading to Revelstoke. If the weather is nice on Friday then we will climb there (supposed to be 15°C) but if not then we continue to the Okanagan Valley where the forecast is calling for 21°C. We will see what Nature comes up with, at least its better than the insane winds that are going through Iceland right now (you Patagonia climbers, go to Iceland if you want some real weather to deal with).
Along with the weather, the UK is still making things hard for Iceland to recover from the economical crash this year. Read this, it was sent to all the gazillion MP´s in the UK! http://theromangate.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/pm-writes-to-gordon-brown-following-uk-treasury-committe-report-on-banking-crisis/
And yeah, two more Icelanders are joining the TRU program in Kamloops, Doddi and Raggi.
