No worries Mike ;)...
BTW, I have hung with Nathan on the rocks a fair bit, never really tied in but been around him a lot. While many of the points raised may be factual, he is a perfectly decent human being. If he was around in the 60's he would be admired, however there are too many other climbers around today to behave how we want (damn it!). Just give him some guidance, he surely has the point now!
On another note, let is f*#king SNOW!!!!!

even if he did wuss out on going aiding with me
Haha, aiding scares the crap outa me still, but I'll give it a shot. We just never set a date or anything..... then the snow hit and climbing has kinda been off my radar since then.
Fish - I've been riding Grouse mostly, as I have a pass for there and their park set up is sick (I'm a park rat).
Also, thanks for the vote of confidence; I appreciate it.
Mike - Looking forward to getting out for a day with you at some point, but I'll probably be keeping it fairly low until the end of March - after Showdown. Gotta practice!
Cheers :)
Edit: Fish, I'd love to do some BC riding, cept I don't have snowshoes or a split :(

All good bro, I like the snow too.
The most spaz fall I have ever seen anyone take was by Bear Breeder. He was trying something too hard, wobbled for a while, then did the most awkward reverse dive ever. His feet stayed on the wall and his head skyrocketed downwards and ended up headfirst VERY close to the ground. Who saved him? Our man Nathan. Who cruised it smoothly afterwards? Nathan.
I'm not one to start taking sides, but some of the sh#t that came out of Bear Breeder's mouth was embarrassing. My wife and I were rolling our eyes at the comments he made regarding females, his jokes online also reflect this (like his post 2 above me). He also made comments about me running it out too much I believe (my mrs overheard him).
Point is, Nathan is harmless. He has pissed me off a few times soloing near me while leading, but I just said what I thought and he got the point without being taken back or upset. Yeah he is a little scary, but damn he is confident and strong, he just needs some direction, like most of us!
-peace-

-Is the Bear?
-Is the guy?
-Hey you, bear phucker... Enough with callin out natedogg on stupid sh#t, we dont want to hear it... if these so called newbs cant decide what is safe for them they shouldnt leave the house let alone learn to rock climb.
As for you fish man, I get the point, I've been called out.. I'm down to get on a wall with you the end of next week; thursday/ friday?
Edit: this is not a thread for accusation, this is a photo and stories thread, and as a self appointed moderator I hereby prohibit bearbreader and soloclimber from telling stories involving one and other.

Satan's Slit --
a romantic valentine's getaway?
a frothing wide gash of rock that spits out pebbles onto belayers' unattentive noggins's?
the best climb in the bluffs next to the garden formerly known as Hot Cherry Bendover?

I love the Slit. I found it way more challenging climbing outside of the chockstones, close to the edge. It was way too gooey on the inside. MH2 has a good pic of it somewhere back in the 1970's forum. My unburly kneecaps took a mild beating on Tuesday.
Yeppers Tami, it's next to Penny Lane.

in dire need of insertion
Heh heh. Tami said insertion. Heh heh.
But she's right. Only maybe a blue butt plug should be involved.

We first did it in February 1974. A sunny day, but it was a bit cool and damp. A foray, that eventually led to other things.

Did you guys climb it going inside or outside the chockstones Anders? I think it is very 5.6 inside and so not 5.6 outside.

Hey all, I never said anything about anyone in this thread. I got what I needed out of the other one and that was that. I put up some pictures here, thanked Fish for having my back, fini.
Eric - For making it sound like you are so eager to be done with me, you sure are making an effort in continuing to call me out.
Also, I would appreciate if you kept personal things about me to a minimum.
Not that I have anything to hide, but you've already posted my name and multiple pictures of me - I don't know where the line is drawn, but the phrase 'invasion of privacy' comes to mind.
Edit: I hadn't seen that picture before, but damn I look good ;)

At Relic, Tami and MH - I tried the Slit sometime last November I think, inside the chockstone. Made it up to the top of the chimney, couldn't figure out where to go from there, so climbed back down.....

We had to push the chockstones out of the way. Len played (US) football for UBC, and is a big, strong guy.
Not the best name, for what is actually quite a nice climb. Oh well, there are worse route names. And maybe it keeps away the religitards.

That, taken out of context, is a pretty funny comment. Deserves a thread all its own, it does. And Tami could talk about insertions.
And you could all take your petty squabbles to that thread and leave this one for Squamish photos and stories...

I got on both of these chimneys pictured in the upper left the other afternoom, also very fun chim chims.
-the big one that starts at the bottom was fun stemming for the first half and bush wacky for the second half...
I then proceeded to Tr the left Chimney looking thing but it turns out its more of an offwidth, there aint no gettin in side that thing.. But the was a few rather enjoyable steep finger locks to get there!
And finally the most eastern of the pennylane chimney quartet:
Relic; I find the slit to be rather painful near the chock stone, but quite pleasant but exposed on the outside.
Any body know who bootied the BD #3 that was left there last summer, it disappeared over the winter..
On the topic of wideness and chockstones would any one have a pic of YPLS that they would like to share?
Edit; Ghost I think that photo of Blazing Saddles has already appeared in this thread..
Also that Bearphucker line was a quote from super troopers.. so dont get your panties twisted
And for any one who cares to watch a little video of yours truely along with my interior accomplice Sean Barrett shredding powder with out bindings and drinking excessively head over too http://vimeo.com/35877953

Wow... busy night :)
While i've appreciated the bump, and the laughs, it seems we are getting back to the point of things.. Which is good.
Eric- I am more than willing to give people a shot, but am also wary and can certainly decide for myself who I want to trust.
Nice pics.. The first one looks like my favorite little 3 move 10b at Pixie corner, White Rabbit? The second is Kangaroo non?
Ghost- It's funny that you posted that Blazing Saddles pic again. Eric was the one I climbed it with last summer.
Luke- Nice pics! Gonna have to come hit those up next time! Nice moderation attempt :) Although I think Relic accomplished more with his excellent change the subject tactic :)
Hamie,MH,MH2,Tami,Jim Brennan,Bruce K,bmacd,klk,Oplopanax,gf,Chief and other Squamish vets, thanks for being here it's amazing to have your input.
I have one picture for you tonight of a character of interest around here as of late...
