SMF Day 5-It’s a wrap

SMF Day 5 The Squamish Mountain Festival ended with a Flash flood, err scratch that the rain came later, what I meant to say was it ended with a Flashed Dyno Comp at Pavillion Park.  I wasn’t there, but I know it was a crowd pleaser because I could hear them cheering from where I was climbing in Smoke Bluffs. If anybody knows who was crowned the 2011 Dyno Champ please post up on the forum. Then the retailers and sponsors folded up their tents — thank you guys for all the loot... 

SMF Day 4

So all this wet weather has started to creep into the psyche and commentary of the Squamish Mountain Festival. Ed Cooper in his excellent presentation showed some slides of Squamish climbing under beautiful blue skies and says he doesn’t know what people are saying that the weather in Squamish is terrible. Thanks Ed, it was good to have a reminder that the sun can shine in Squamish even though those photos were taken 50 years ago. Well, there is good news on weather front for Sunday,... 

SMF Day 3

Whoa, lack of sleep is catching up to me and there are still two days to go. I’ll be brief here and then hopefully come back later and post some photos. Day started at 9am at the Adventure Centre for the CASBC and SAS volunteer trail day – thanks to Peter and Jeremy for organizing this and thanks to the sponsors for the great swag. Good work was done on four areas: Rehab/check, Cat Lake, Area 44 and the Pet. This evening’s film and presentations rocked. Nina Caprez was... 

SMF Day 2

SMF Day 2 – Steep Shot Photo Contest There was a big crowd tonight for this event, I mean we’re talking packed, not an empty seat, young, old(er), local, out of town, sold-out kind of crowd. And in it’s understandable, who wouldn’t want to see Squamish’s renowned photography talent face off in a photo contest? Five shooters gave it their best shot to take home the $1000 first place prize — Dave Humphreys, Rich Wheater, Paul Bride, Chris Christie and Jim Martinello.... 

SMF Blog – Day 1

Just sitting in the Howe Sound Brew Pub drinking some liquid protein (Baldwin-Cooper ale), after catching the first evening of the SMF.–nice start organizers.      Unfortunately work delayed me in town so I missed Margo Talbot’s presentation Her story of climbing out of the gutter from drugs, depression and jail sounded inspiring. On the rainy, grey drive up I was thinking how easy it is for life to get you down, but climbing has an almost magical way of lifting you up.... 

Welcome to the 2011 Climbing Season

Hello Squamish, here we come. The days are getting brighter, the sun is out a little longer and the rock…well it’s getting a little drier. Which can only mean one thing — the 2011 climbing season is just around the corner. So it’s time to refine that tick list and put those days of pulling on plastic to good use. A lot has been happening on the Squamish climbing scene over the last year so here’s a quick recap: Starting right here. You may have noticed Squamishclimbing.com...
