how deliciously appropriate that meares island is now thick with alder!
Meares island was a reference to the battle for Clayquot sound between Loggers, Mac blo and the Government on one side and Greenpeace, hippies and grandmothers on the other. The malamute Meares Island held mature timber at one time. Chief could shed more light on this as wel as straw line and Loggers are people too.
While you guys are there, see what you can do with a wire brush and saw - those routes are worth bringing back to life!
edit: loggers are people too was long forgotten Tim Auger Aid route (hot Licks) that was revealed through some selective foliage thinning. Its now a really fun 10c but probably needs a little scrub

Sweet!
Yesterday was fun. Heather and I wanted to get on Over Forty again, but when we got to burgers, it was a top rope gong show, so we wandered down to Alexis.
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs.
When we finished up at Alexis we wandered back by burgers and the same group was still gangbanging over forty.
So we went up to Penny to see what Kyle was up to.

It got chilly pretty quickly and I wanted to attend the Jello show last night, so we bailed and went for Mag's.
Mmmmm Chimmie!

After intermission Michael Kennedy presented his autobiographical show "Finding the Balance". Another excellent presentation by a climber for climbers. No posing, no posturing, no spray ; just the real fekkin' deal from an honest-to-god excellent man.
The climbing and accomplishments were honest, but starting at 1030 PM and reading from notes made it soporific for me - left around the time he was on Gash V because I had started nodding off :(

Just spent a few days up in beautiful Vancouver with my beautiful wife, and ran up to Squamish for the morning on Wednesday. Didn't see many climbers other than pad people. What a beautiful day to climb it was, and me without my gear!

Sounds good, Big Mike! The Bluffs looked perfect, sunlit, and begging for activity.

Last weekend was fun. Sunday Heather and I started out at Burgers & Fries because we both wanted to get on Over 40. It was a gong show as per usual, but we managed to work a few laps in.
Kyle was bouldering in the Mosquito area, so we cruised over there.
Hydro's done a little thinning lately...
Mosquito Area
Much more open and the crag dries significantly faster now, which is nice.
Kyle on the smoke bluff trail slab
Relic doing some nice spotting.
The Bluffs has really undergone a renaissance lately. Bouldering problems are springing up all over the place. The craglets which were bypassed by the previous generation are being mined for their hard moves.
Getting a bit highball.

If you happen to be in town today, check out the Sheriffs Badge. Look for a party up in the roofs..
