Bah. Humbug. Canadian climber pussies -- a bit of mangled flesh and they lose their lunch. That is why I left the country and moved to the manly US.
Put that photo up on a mtn biking thread, and everyone will be saying "Wow, that's cool. I split my leg open in a crash last week that was way worse. Check out this pic."
And on an oil rig forum no one would even notice.

Oil rigs have forums? Does that mean some rig workers can actually read?
next you'll be telling me logging camps have their own forums

Fishboy, heel toe cam below you in the crack with your outside leg. Wear jeans, try not to puke. Worked for me somehow. Only a sport climber would layback it :-)

Wow! kudos for effort!!!!!
Who is going to be the first to don a 5.10 rubber inpregnated wetsuit designed for offwidths and chimneys.
First it was special rubber on shoes,then rubber knee pads, then rubber on the heel, then rubber on the upper toe not to mention the " The gobs of tape around my hands is to protect them for my hand modeling career not to make the crack easier." Tape is for people that haven't mastered crack climbing technique with JT the only place where soft climbers might occasionally need it.

Wouldn't it be easier to just spray a coating of rubber on the chimney?

Yup. Then you could peel it off and re-create it in the gym.

Mh2 now your onto something, plaster casting famous routes and rebuilding them indoors. What route at Squamish should we do first? I'll hold back Anders while you do the dirty work.

Maybe Jim can finally get rid of that pesky tree Red cedars growing in cliff locations are usually quite old like Jim B due to their slow growth. If that tree ever dies I'd love to count the rings.

Tami here are some prototypes for the BRHHFBC suit. The last one seems the most interesting as it's inflatable so at the last second before your about to pitch out of pipeline you simple inflate. Jim and Bruce don't need this one as they are already somewhat inflated.

It's 67m for both pitches. The top pitch is easily 40+ and goes at 10b. The Opal wall is in the south gully opposite Rock On and is currently dry, which is very unusual, especially for September Harry!
Scroll back a few pages for more pics!

I thought that looked like the Opal but why did I not know about that route. How old is it?

Gotta get me one of those black suits for biking to keep the wounds away.
Three of us old guys are going to Jack The Ripper today so we'll take three suits please. Hope they're not too hot on the uphill...

Harry, Kirt sellers, and Bill Noble put it up in 86. Dunno why you missed it? Maybe because the opal seeps like mad and typically never dries out?
Hamish sounds like a good idea but watch the chaffing! ;)
