Re: 11 1/2 year-old climbs Chief via St. Vitus Dance & Butt

Hi Dave, Just to be clear we thought the climbing was well protected. But the topo here http://sonnietrotter.com/2010/07/28/a-long-story-for-the-readers/ just says "scramble ledges to the top". That final scramble seemed to have less pro than anything else we'd climbed. BUT it could just have been w...

I have heard that in Eastern Europe it is common to plastic nuts, or knots for pro on soft rock that is easily damaged. This ...

Hi Peter...

Missing hanger on Zoe

Did Zoe on Sunday. There was a NOTE in a plastic bag on the first bolt saying that the "4th bolt had fallen out". It was dated the day before. When I got to that bolt, in fact the bolt seemed fine but the hanger was missing. All the bolts seemed newish and well placed to me. Did the person who place...

I agree

Yes - I could not agree more. We have just done a whole summer of climbing or hitching, with a couple of Taxis. We want to head to Skaha in Nov, so we'll need a ride for that :)

climb...

Hi,
We should hook up. I have no real plans Fri/Sat/Sun other than heading out to the Smoke Bluffs with my kids (10 and 12) at some point. I am kind of tied up Mon-Wed, but could be free again after that.
Cheers
Rob.
