I figured Perry, that's what I meant. I'm going to invite Kyle and Nina also and I'm hoping Fish Boy will come out too. Maybe Ryand and Kieran?
Maybe if it is the end of the world we can finally corrupt Anders ;)

I've been in Nepal for the last 5 weeks, and am slowly catching up on the 'news'.
A big hand to Big Mike and Fishboy for tagging the Crest in such ugly conditions. We'll make mountaineers out of these lads yet!
This is a pic of me, with the Acrophobes behind/below, taken on the same afternoon that our good friend Bill Sharp drowned while canoeing in the Capilano. A sad day.
I was wearing most of a white plastic 'mac' and a US army surplus helmet. Styles change......

Ah, I did assume I was part of the crew, so no worries. I just finished reading this thread from the beginning, for the third time and reminiscing of our past adventures. Chief, thanks for the invite; I look forward to it!
Luke; not so shaken up from Zorros, matter of fact, was thinking about appropriating your aiding thingies and going to finish it off meself :P
I also noticed that back when this thread first got going, Luke's spelling and grammar was waaaaay better.
Edit: As well, my wife is leaving me for family back home over the holidays, so if the world is gonna end, might as well end it in good company.

Hamish's pictures should be required viewing in forestry courses. Those little trees really do grow over 50 years!

Solo says "Luke's spelling and grammar was waaaay better".
May I suggest that Tami might be responsible for that?

That's awesome Luke are you building a shed or something?!
Looks like its time to pound out some FAs.
I like Luke's grammar, it cracks me up. It has been a gradual decline here for his spellllling although on his blog it's much better. U bringin that rack on the Chief's challenge? I'm sure some of those pieces have been in some of those pitches somewhere along the way?????

I'm sick and tired of that face crack on the sword, gonna hammer out some finger locks in the security of the corner.p
The sword direct.
Does anyone have any beta how to aid past the fats if they're too wet to free climb!

The flats too wet? I think you know that doesn't happen. Not on such a well-travelled route. Rubber sticks fine on clean wet rock and holds up there are veddy clean.

I'd be more worried about if they were icy!
Nice to hear from you Hamish! Wow you guys did Angel's in December eh? Hardcore! I bet you guys encountered way more ice than us!
As to mountaineering I do it all the time with a snowboard in hand! Maybe if it was something like this were proposed...

I love to go a-wandering
My snowboard in my hand,
And as I ride I always sing
"I love this snowy land!"
Fah do lee
Fah do lah
etc.
Sound of Music, right?
:)
Great opening day at WH2O yesterday. Lots of REAL interior pow.
