Kris,

I should know this climb - but I don't recognize it. Where is it?

Joe --- Great, great idea. Very cool concept to show climbers a way they can step up when others are experiencing tragedy and facing a catastrophe. I've put some money down (via the link to Care.ca). I can't make it Sunday but hopefully I'll get on the rock / or gym soon to climb it off for 2011 Sen...

So the Squamish Chief paper published a reaction piece : ‘Climbing centre’ proposal draws mixed reviews it's an interesting read. Kris as you and others have noted this seems like another attempt by the developer to win approval for their property. And as you observed the residential component was l...

I took a look at the March issue of Climbing Magazine . http://www.climbing.com/print/current/cover-293-375.jpg They put out their Hot List for 2010 an inaugural guide to the best new routes of the year: more than 175 amazing new climbs from Alaska to North Carolina. And two new Squamish routes were...

Ollie, I did a little search on the forum and came up with this post Smell The Glove/Silent Menace by JSmith » Tue Aug 12, 2008 2:21 pm Yesterday Ben Harnden A.K.A. "Butters" made the first ascent of Silent Menace since the starting hold broke off, renaming it Smell The Glove. The new version clocks...

I posted this discussion on UKclimbing.com. Check out the responses here . I thought it would be interesting to get the perspective where traditional ethics are the bedrock of climbing culture. This post also got more visitors because gripped.com saw the debate here and posted on it on their site. T...

Just me - thanks for posting up. You made some good points. I'm also hoping others with more knowledge will jump in and comment. I guess we have to be careful and not get too far ahead of ourselves. Proposals like this tend to be launched with a lot of fanfare only to fizzle when money and public su...

The Squamish Chief Newspaper also wrote on this story. The article says the proponents consulted with the local climbing community and quotes Will Stanhope: “The Climbing Centre is shaping up to be a state-of-the-art facility,” he said in the statement. “When complete, the NCC will accommodate the m...

This thread has been updated with the developers new proposal without a climbing centre see the bottom of the second page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd be interested in hearing what people thi...

Thought this was pretty cool. The Boulders Climbing Gym , located beside Stelly's Secondary School in Saanich will host the 2013 World Youth Climbing Championships. This will be the first time the championships will be held in in North America. Also cool, the high school is offering climbing in the ...

I received an email from the Smoke Bluff Park Advisory Committee that there will be a film crew operating at Cornflakes and the foot of Token Brits Saturday thru Monday

Thanks for the feedback so far. Yes, getting the silver/grey background back and toning down the blue is a priority.

Keep the feedback coming as we iron out the issues.

We're testing the redesign of squamishclimbing.com starting today. You'll notice some new features and a new look. There will be some tweaking as we go and content to add so please be patient as we work out the wrinkles. Drop a line here with your first impressions and helpful feedback.

It's the last day to participate in the poll. Fre, your comment a couple posts up about running into some Japanese hikers with a didgeridoo at the base of the via ferrata is a funny image. It seems to me that non-climbers are going to end up climbing this thing quite often throughout the year. Shoul...
