Too true! I can remember springs at Squamish when whoever went to the Valley for the great spring weather returned with tales of sitting in a tent in the rain. While we'd been climbing our asses off.
Not that it was always that way, but Squamish can be pretty nice early in the year.
Edit: No fair on that first picture Mike. If you want to put that one up, it should be accompanied by a side view to show the true angle.

In another thread, Mike said:
Jim busted up his knee pretty good today skiing. Heal up well Jim!
What happened? Are we talking some serious bruising and a day or two with a liimp, or is this about orthopedic surgery?
Whichever, best wishes to Little Jim.

Dru, Scottish conditions eh?? Cool. Looks miserable ;) I need some gear for that stuff. I think I figured out why they are so into in though, there's no big hills to slide down there... :)

Managed to get some climbing in on the last day of 2012 before work which was a nice surprise, here's one of the bears being run through the birth canal in the boulders today. He has been born again. Looking great for the next few days for climbing.

A wintry morning at the Little Smoke Bluffs. No herds to be seen.
A cliff I rarely visit, as it is usually overrun.

Cool photos Adrian et all. Way to get after it today Mike & Anders- starting the year off right. Wish i coulda done that but I'm just in the final hrs of a 14hr new year shift, dealing with the public in their finest condition has been a hoot. Tomorrow however I will be the public & plan on climbing in the finest conditions!! See u out there.

I remember one cold winter when there was some ice climbing at the bluffs. Even though it was very cold it was clear and calm and the rock faces created enough heat that by early afternoon it was t-shirt climbing weather.Well the ice was still in and there were ice climbers side by side with t-shirt clad rock climbers. The bluffs is such a special place and the first place I ever climbed.
Anders is setting the bar high for all us geezers for 2013, good on ya.Kudos to you Big Mike and gang starting the year out right.
