I sent an e-mail today to David Argument, the park manager for Auyuittuq, requesting a timeline for when he might expect to complete his report on Philip's passing.
I will advise when it's received.
That is all.

I have been instructed by Parks Canada that I will, for the time being, have to go through an Access to Information request in order to obtain any information related to the accident. The report is not yet approved for distribution to the public. You can find the necessary information at the following website: www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/tbsf-fsct/350-57_e.asp |

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this link but I hope that Cavers will not overwhelm Parks Canada with requests for this information.

I wanted to recognize this day since it was one year ago that I completed my rappel from Thor Peak.
Tomorrow will mark the first anniversary of the passing of Philip Robinson, may he rest in peace.

I just received the following from Parcs Canada:
The 'Technical Report' on Philip Robinson's accident has recently been approved for release. If you and your group are still interested in receiving a copy, please send me the most appropriate mailing address and we will send a copy down to you. This report deals only with our Public Safety Specialists' assessment of the equipment and set-up used, and a review of possible scenarios that may have lead to Philip's loss of control.
Once received I will try to share the findings with the forum members.

I was just informed that there is new information from the pathologist and this information is being worked into the final report. No date was given as to when to expect the report. I will post again when I receive more news.

Well, while we're waiting for the report I was perusing Wikipedia and noticed that the "greatest purely vertical drop" was listed at 4100'. Mt Thor's vertical extent is in the range of 3300'. Anyone ever aim a clinometer down the SLOPE at Thor? I'm sure you will not find it vertical. I would like to thank Dan T. and WWunderground for the confusion.  Rebel |

Wikipedia seems to be a good source for misinformation these days.  |

"i opened a 1,200 meter (4,000ft) overhanging big wall route in some of the worst weather i have ever experienced! "
The quote above is from a thread in Supertopo about a big wall climber soloing a new route in patagonia. May have a big rap south of us! rebel

I resent my request to Mr. Argument again but have not received a reply.
I am beginning to think they are avoiding me.

I recently received an e-mail from Mike Dorse, Technical Support Lead , for as he describes it "North America's largest rope access company".
They are attempting to get permission from Parcs Canada to rappel Mount Thor.
I wish them luck...
