WTF, I get sick, self medicate with Bourbon and this thread hits 5000?
I'm off to Cochise Stronghold and JT for the rest of the winter and will post some photos of me slaying the moderates.

The Stronghold Rules. It's like J-Tree, but for grown-ups.

Nothing particularly great about this video other than its a few shots of a really fun outing back in the day on a classic Squamish climb.

Maybe not particularly great, but very good. What year was it taken?

Tami the people in that video are myself leading the traversing crack, my ex wife Trish McCarthy from my practise marriage and John McCallum from NZ who lived here in Vancouver from 89 until 92. Met him sharing a cave bivi in the middle of the fiordland RAINforest. Later I found out he was born in the same hospital as myself, in Hamilton(the Hammer),Ontario that same year.

Harry, thanks! I hope Nick sees that, should be just what he needed. After our winter epic he said "I never want to climb that again!", looks so much different not frosted over
Anders, thanks. Funny, I specifically didn't go for this one becuase I wanted someone else to have it, but I end up with it anyways... ;)

Did anyone climb at Squamish today? How was it? Sounds like it'll be a touch cooler and breezier on Sunday.

It's what we live for.
Well, okay, it's what they live for. I've been living in the US long enough that I've turned into a wussy American. But until I left Canada, "that frozen shit" was the sh#t.

Hey Ryan, I'll give the abbreviated history of my experience with video cameras.
In 1985 I bough my first system from jvc, Camcorders were not out on the market yet so your camera was connected to a portable recorder by a cable like this one. My camera was larger than this one and did not include the shorts ( when did it become illegal for males to reveal their quads anyway?) This system weighed 12Ibs and was regular VHS (low quality 240 lines of resolution)I dragged that thing up countless mountains including Waddington.
My first camcorder came out a year later in 1986, it was big but weighed in at 5Ibs. It was also regular VHS but considerably lighter and used a mini casette
In 1989 super VHS and High8(Sony)came out and it was a considerable improvement with 400 lines of resolution. The Angels Crest vid was shot with this camera which weighed in at about 18 oz.
I had a couple of cameras after this but only for size reduction as the format was the limiting factor for resolution.
Then in 1997 the first digital camcorders came out,what a difference. I paid $3700 for this one at that time,they saw me coming. The advantages of the DV format was that you lost no quality from copy to copy unlike analog and the quality was light years better than super VHS.It only weighed 8oz.
I used this format untill 2007 when I bought an HD video camera which is unbelievable compared to previous formats.
So as the camcorders got better over the decades the amount of trips I recorded went down exponentially do to life getting in the way. I'm now waiting for that magical software that will convert old footage into HD quality,I think I'll be waiting a long time.

Nice Harry! thanks for the behind the scenes look at hot dog productions®©
That's awesome you were towing those rigs up walls & mountains, really cool to see your camera progression! That first one with the hip recorder must've been a beotch to tow around. Looks like it was worth it though because you have some pretty awesome memories captured.
