Great pics Bruce! Sorry about your friend Bryan; Tami is right, suicide is the most tragic...
That's a classic dog story Jim. I used to take my dogs on mushroom hunting forays with me until I realized I spent more time keeping track of dogs than finding choice edibles. They seem to excel at finding dead sh^t to roll in or hornets nests to disturb.
Keep the good times rolling ...

So I imagine your dogs have gone through the Northwest My Dog Likes Dead Salmon sickness that our "best friends" acquire from eating dead salmon. They get really sick the first couple times and then they become immune and it's open season after that.Fun Times.
Sorry for the thread drift.

I know, it really is that simple. Humans, as a species, tend to make things a lot more difficult than they have to be.
So I was wondering... It's a little late and I'm a little buzzed and I'm not totally clear on the cast of characters, and all this can make me a little slow, but is Climbing Dropout and Bmacd the the same entity? If so, then, KICKASS thread Bruce.
I don't know how many good climbs I have left in me, but I want at least a couple to be in Squamish. Yerian needs to join me.

If only humans had the capacity to revel in dead salmon, there would be less war.
Plus, it's hard to get upset at people when your dogs can take you completely away from your "problems" with just a fart. Our dogs like to rub their heads in decomposing seagulls, crows, or whatever they find, and they seem to be proud of and generous with their breath odours.
Bruce, that Deadend Dihedral we only followed for 2 pitches. I think the topo showed a 5.12 move either at the end of or just after p2. We didn't do any 5.12 move. The climb goes a lot higher, now, but seldom gets done.
Thanks to all the contributors to this thread.

Thanks to Mighty Hiker for forwarding this photo of yours truly as a young, aspiring crag rat. Circa summer of 77, turning the roof (1st pitch?) on the third or fourth ascent of the original Sherrif's Badge route. Photo, "The Bear".

Only in my dreams. The only walls that I have done are in Yose.
So if I wanted to do a wall at Squamish, what would be a nice moderate one for old washed out geezers?

Not to mention The House On No Name Road. Even Zaumen stayed there once.

GF - Are you saying you gave up climbing ? Hard to believe. When was the last time you got out ? On CPF It was my camera, so I am sure it was you as I also have Bircheff Williams pictures of you from the same trip or so I thought.
Wayno check out Uncle Bens. I'd like to do that one again.
Anders just post up your brothers squamish wall shots for crying out loud, I am sure he won't mind.
Anyone talk to Craig T. lately whats going on with him ??
Thread title is "Squamish Climbers - the photos" can be anywhere ... if you have already posted to this thread then you are exempt from any date restrictions on subsequent photo postings.

Greg,
I remember freezing our asses off at the bivis, thinking we were done when that crevasse bridge collapsed and feeling like a real mountaineer when we summited Alpha on a clear winter day. I think there's some photos of some bad late Serratus/early MEC one piece wind suits, now that was horrendous!
Wayno, ditto fro the U Wall, classic anyway you do it.
Judd... Hey Jim, remember Daryl gazing out the window and saying,
"Hey guys, check it out, two horses..on two horses."
Medusa, the shoulder sucks.

My brother has started to get his photos scanned. He gave me a CD with about 40 on it, mostly from Squamish climbers late 1970s - early 1980s. Some I passed on to those in the photos, e.g. Perry. When I get a chance, I'll ask if I can post the other photos. Maybe one of you should send him a link to this thread, and he can see what's here and whether he'd approve?

Anders I can color correct and post process for you on my computer if Peder says yes before posting so they look A1

A little late night bump. There is more good stuff coming out of Canada now besides the Olympics.

Wow Jim, those are some awesome shots. You start with the moon over the approach chopper; a little buildup suspense...
Then you open up into a nice shot showing much potential and a climber in pose...
And then a nice, "I'm on top of the fecking World" shot.
Beauty.
That must of been quite a fun trip.

I hope I die as noble a death as Darryl did ...
In the end, the good samaritan was a total lightweight relative to Darryl's final sacrifice

A wee bump to keep this thread on the front page just a little longer. It's way cool to hear from other member of the "Loyal Order Of Hattini's Hammer."

Two other old-timers: Neil Bennett and Gordie Smaill (might have to invoke the 70s inclusion)
Thanks Bruce!

MH2 thanks, a most welcome addition !! Where were first the 2 shots taken ? Is it Clean Corner ? I recognize Skaha granite in the other ones.
Thread drift at this point is essential to keep this one going.
I would like to see the people posting here and already featured in the photos follow Jim Brennans example and post pictures of their adventures in faraway and alpine places. 70's 80's 90's and beyond. Jim your stuff was great to see I hope there is more. What about your Karakorum trip ?
Pull out the shoe boxes of slides boy's and start scanning. Anders informs me that London drugs and Walmart will scan slides for you.
