Is it Clean Corner ?
You're right. Most of today's climbers would not recognize it. Just that the approach was seldom done.
Jim Brennan's trip to Waddington was excellent.
There are bound to be great images from the 80s still out there, too. If only Peder would suffer a lapse of judgement and join in. But maybe via Anders. Hoping.

This was intended for use in Alpinist back when they used to do those climber profiles with the super serious b&w mug shots in every issue...

Sad news about Ed, although not unexpected.
A year ago, after he was diagnosed, a bunch of us got together for a day of climbing and fun. Here we are:
Ed second from right. A few SuperTopians in there, too. And yes, we were being a bit goofy.
Takk for alt!

Oh NO!!!
I've been friends with Ed for years. I'm so sorry. He never told me he had cancer, it is rough to find out about it this way. Ed was (god it hurts me to type "was" instead of "is") one of my closest friends while I lived in Vancouver, we lost touch some when I moved to So Cal + he moved to Auz, but stayed in touch a bit through facebook.
I had taken up cycling and was riding out near UBC in about 1986 or so when Ed came up behind me and slowed down to chat (he never could pass up a girl on a bike). We spent a lot of time hanging out after that. I spent an awful lot of time looking at his bum, desperately trying to keep up with him on the north shore hills..he was a good climber and I was a sprinter. In the spring of '87 I did my first race and there was Ed the night before truing my wheels and making sure my shifters worked. Ed took up sewing his own lycra jerseys, but I was a better seamstress than he was so I made us complementing jerseys in bright cobalt blue with back and white leopard spot insets. He also turned me on to poptarts and baked potatoes as cycling food BITD before bars and gu and crap.
aw Ed I'm going to miss you.

I just remembered Ed's little Orange Fiat. There was a cat who insisted on leaving cat tracks on the windshield. Drove Ed nuts, he was always on about that cat.

Ahhh loving this and loving being reminded of the characters that made Squamish such a cool place to do all-too-brief time in at the tail end of the 80s
for my 10c heres a shot of Dean Hart at work on the upper roof of the Black Dike...
and from my first ever Squamish mission...
On my first visit to Squamish I wandered in to the Psyche ledge camp area and was immediately was accosted by an uppity schoolboy>> Guy Edwards who ordered me to dump my pack and play hackysack...thanks for all the great memories Guy !
Cheers

Very sad news about our old friend Ed being taken way too young.
I don't remember Ed being anything other than large, orange and smiling all the time.
Condolences to all. Hope there's a wake in the works.
