Here is a back in the day pic of MH2 I came across while looking up something for Tricouni.

Famous crag at one time. Who can identify it? This route gets 5.9 in the guidebook. Kind of a sandbag from what I remember.

Yup. The best alpine crag on the North Shore.

A few from as of late.



A few weeks back Josh on one of the best clip ups in town.




This goofy dude we've been hanging out with





Some great photo's by the recently re-unbearded again Kyle that he emailed to me. Why didn't he just post them himself you ask? I think maybe he's scared, not sure why but that's ok Kyle. We will do your online bidding :-}

I really never know if he is going to show up with a beard or not anymore though.

Whats this one?


Whats this one?



I got a few more but someone's gotta identify some of thee above. Anyone gets em all including the breed of dog i'll give you a belay anytime, or a block of chalk.

The last one is familiar, esp. from running backwards down it once near the top. Second-to-last is nearby. First one I don't recognize.


Trying to remember what Ginger looks like, but no real idea about the concerned-looking dog.

... and in other news one of the gondola cars fell off the cable.

Was it Richard Kiel to blame?
Does Anders have an alibi?

That's awesome, thanks for the efforts Bruce. No more rapping in? That's excellent. I'll check it out soon. Would be a pretty easy Reno on those climbs too. Anybody know what kind of shape the anchors are in on loggers & strawline? Or does strawline share anchors with that easy pitch of overly hangin out off of Meares??

Re: raining gondola cabins. Hilarious.

Hey you guys weren't joking about the gondola falling apart!

We never rapped in, Heelboom Bay was always the classic access route to Meare's Island.

Got out yesterday before the VIMFF on some obscure Squamish waterfalls.

Gertrude Falls and Ring Creek Falls are tucked away in basalt slot canyons below the ring Creek cabins. fern had been in to climb Gertrude a couple yrs ago. We had heard from a friend that there was another waterfall nearby, on Ring Creek, that was "short but steep, likely WI4 if it froze up".

Well, it was there all right, but nowhere near WI4, and much wider than it was tall. Still, that was a half an hour or so of fun. Then we climbed Gertrude on the way out. Frozen logs on the latter made for interesting topography as well as wood tooling.

this isn't in squamish; but it's close, and it's rock climbing, and the rock climbers are from squamish so it'll have to do..

water formed limestone formations: a study in extreme weather sport clippin.

Very nice Kieran! I've always said road trip shots were fair game.

I got out for a "couple" pitches this afternoon. I solo aided the left clean starts crack, then seconded it and hauled the pig with the gear that Luke lent me.

Then i practiced jugging three times before i took it down.

Tomorrow looks good too. Nice and warm
