Top was in on Scottish Tale, as of morning of Jan 31. Couldn't see the middle of the route from the top of the First Peak. Squamish Tale looked a bit anemic from my vantage point. I'm not sure how thick it fills out.

BC Parks would appreciate it if you did not take salt with you and distribute it on the Chief Peak Trails. Thanks.

Cougar

When was the cougar spotted? Was it approaching people? Has it been seen since this initial sighting? The Conservation Officer Service will be notified but they would like more information on the cougar. If it is hanging around the area and is potentially threatening people, they would most likely t...

helmets and head injuries

Perhaps the severity of your many concussions would've been greater if the helmet wasn't there? You can look at the incident from the point of view that, "Hey, I still got a concussion. These things don't work." Try looking at it from the perspective of, "Hey, I can still think, walk, talk, and clim...

one more thing

If you get your leg caught behind the rope and take a whipper that flips you upside-down, it isn't uncommon to smack your head, helmeted or otherwise, on the cliff. Sport climbing involves alot of falling so just keep that in mind when you do your ropework.

helmets and head injuries

Extra protection for your brain is a good thing. If you have had to go through rehab for a head/brain injury, relearned how to walk, use your arms, etc, you may find the "inconvenience or uncoolness" of wearing a helmet negligible. The trade routes in Squamish often have people above...Exasperator i...

BC Parks built a descent trail last October from the top of the Papoose down to the base. The trail heads east from the summit, instead of west (like the old trail), and drops you down quite expeditiously to the base. No need to rap if you don't want to. The trail is also marked with the standard or...

Ravens' nest at Pet Wall

The ravens have abandoned the nest at the Pet Wall and signs that BC Parks had posted have been taken down. There are no closures to report of in Murrin Park but the closures due to the peregrine falcons are still in place on the Chief. Those closures include all routes between Freeway and Negro Les...
