A little history/geography quiz

While we are at it , I cant belive the drops some snow boarders are taking these days. You could imagine people climbing up all pegged in with ropes and helmets etc and some kid in a duffle coat and beenie comes screaming down a snow chute right next to them.

Its the middle one, two of my mates did the first accent in 68 I think. Andre the shutes didnt open until 2000 ft from the deck watching it was unbelievable. One actually hit the rock on the way down

Actually scrap, the Island is Nevis.

Speaking of Rock face, do you know Stawamus Chief, in British Columbia?

Do you still climb?

[Scrap]

I know of it mate some friends climbed it years ago, the last time I was there I was 6. Climbed in Greenland theres some monsters there and its cold. Got the Island but it does look like the other one which is rising again I believe. Stopped climbing in 78 Im 65 now.

OK here's one.

This disaster is generally regarded as the biggest/worst ever accidental man made explosion. It was also the biggest ever man made explosion, accidental or intentional, prior to the atomic bomb.

When two ships collided in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia during WW1?

The meteor strike in Tunguska, Siberia, was the biggest explosion full stop (ie not man made)

[Scrap]

Brilliant but, thats not as steep as they make out, camara angles helped there.

CGM, that Island looks like Kracatou
