Hello: I am organizing the Golden Scrub Brush awards for the Squamish Access Society. The Golden Scrub Brush awards are a "awards" show to celebrate and acknowledge the hard work of our local route developers ("scrubbers") wielding wire brushes and mattocks to dig out routes out of Squamish rain forest. Induction into The fellowship of the Golden Scrub Brush is our lifetime achievement award. This year our inductees are Alan Stevenson (hevy Duty), John Howe, and Jim Sinclair. I am looking for good climbing shots and stories of each for our awards ceremony. Historic shots of Jim Sinclair and John Howe (especially with the March of the Kitchen Utensils) would be especially appreciated.
Sincerely
Chris Small
SAS director at large

Ah so bright, Mike.
Is Relic's foot ok for climbing again? Or is that harness part of the graduated back-to-climbing program?

Hey so, I want to address something, must be a thousand posts back, about Wild Turkey. MH2 showed a picture of it. I stated that I did the FA with George Manson. Perry later said that he was there with me and didn't mention George. I remember noticing the discrepancy and already doubting my recollection...
So, I was just talking with Tom Gibson on the phone and he reminded me that George wasn't even there on that trip. Ad-in for Perry. It's so, um, funny I guess, how we can conflate remembrances. I'm pretty sure that we Poway boys went to Squamish for three straight years from maybe 1978 through 1980. I assumed that because Tom and Rob (Rohn) were busy putting up Freeway that it must have been George that I was with for Wild Turkey. Just want to set the record straight.

Power Windows, Will Stanhope did a variation straight up the face above the crack .Scaryyyyy runout , has anyone else climbed it? Winter temps would make it the perfect time for runout friction.
Looks like everyone had a great day, I managed a hike to scope out some new climbs, sooo lame! Can't wait to get back on the rock.
Nice photos Mike.

Greg,
Re Wild Turkey.
I remember being there with you and Tom.
I was sure George was with us but it might have been Rob Rohn as he and Tom were definitely a team.
You led Wild Turkey on sight, in shorts, wearing a swami, left side in and didn't even scuff your knees.
Tom definitely followed and I declined.

Didn't scuff his knees? So how can he have claimed to climb it if there was no blood.

Makes me think of Catch Me Quicker but Mike is a break-out-of-the-mold photographer. The shot of Power Windows above is also unusual.

Mike, nice, gentle light on the trees in that 2nd photo. Most of the leaves on those trees here in the city have already dropped.

Ya Jer!! Nice to see you guys getting out with Jefe!!
Have fun tonight Tami!!
Nope Lou, not that far over.
You are correct Andy. I typically do try and show unseen angles of things, but looking up at CMQ, inspired me to capture it head on. Thanks for the compliment!
The light was so amazing Glenn, I simply had to capture it again. I've posted a similar shot so many times, but it's the nuances I like!!
Thanks to Eric for the ropegun and belays!!

Bearbreeders AZN/white man references crack me up. Good to see ppl getting after the conditions. Looking forward to more this week.
I went real Squamish trad climbing a few weekends back with Luke. It might have been one of my first times ever doing so, by the traditional definition at least. Although the retreat did feel somewhat familiar. It was super fun, looking forward to more exploring soon.
Maybe Hamie or Someone knows the area?
