I received a reminder that the CASBC meeting is this Sunday. You need to be a member to attend but don't worry if your membership has lapsed or you don't have a membership yet. You can renew your membership at the meeting and have new members sign up as well. Better still you can join the CASBC onli...

Kris,

More info on routes and that slab if you have it. Any pictures, how many pitches and what is the approach like once you are across the river?

I also heard there is Squamish First Nation reserve land over there. Is that true?
Thanks,
Dave

I often look west across the valley at all that rock and yearn to climb some of it. The area seems to have a lot of everything, cracks, off-widths, slabs and of course that monster roof that Matt climbed this fall. Does anybody have any topos of the climbs over there? I think Squamish West side woul...

I'd second everything that he said ^^^ . Have you looked at the weather charts and stats on this site.

The first half of September tends to be drier, except this year when it rained a lot and the last half of September was great.

Thanks Matt and Dru for the replies. So Dru, this new crag you're referencing at Gonzales Creek is it the same crag Stewart Hughes is developing mentioned up thread? And speaking of the Valley of Shaddai -- are the climbs there at risk of getting mossed over? There's some great climbs across the gra...

Mace do you have any pictures of HCB when it was open?

And Matt, I'd really like to see what the Petgill Wall looks like. Can you post any pictures?

thanks
Dave

Stewart Hughes wrote about some new routes at a new crag that he put up in an earlier post near Gonzales Creek just south of Shannon Falls. Coincidentally, I happened to be leafing through the old Jim Campbell guide (1985) and came across some climbs that intrigued me at the time and I had thought w...

Came across this new Iphone App (climbitapp.com) It was released last week. Climb it. Find it. Tick it. - is the tag line. The app just covers Canadian climbing locations. Climbs from the North Shore to Whistler make up a large chunk of the 5300 routes on the app. I just downloaded it and will take ...

I believe these things are also very trendy, which would be a first for me. Some call them manpurses, aka murses. Murses - I like that, may have to use that sometime. I've have a cool leather saddle bag I got in Guatemala but I got tired explaining what it was so don't carry it much anymore. Jeremy...

Great work everyone. Thanks Jeremy, CASBC and BC Parks for making this happen. I think we're going to see the North Walls continue to grow in popularity so it's nice to get this trail work done. Does anybody have any photos of the new moderate climb going in? What is the approach time for these clim...

It slipped my mind he was president and executive director of the CASBC, but I do recall most of his tenure. See http://www.squamishclimbing.com/squamish_climbing_bb/viewtopic.php?t=1965 Anders resigned in 2008. During his term there were a lot of accomplishments including leading the campaign to st...

Anders, Thanks for your comments and analysis. It sounds like you know what you are talking about when it comes to assessing a non-profit or community group. Do you work in this field? I guess I was proposing a less rigourus appraisal in this post, more like people's observation. Although I quickly ...

I thought I would follow up my post from the AGM meeting of the Squamish Access Society with a poll and a place for climbers to offer their feedback. I think the climbing community has made big gains in getting its position and goals heard at local and provincial level. This is due in a big part to ...
