I find it hard to believe that a website dedicated to climbing on Vancouver Island is promoting/advertising new route development at Horne Lake which is technically still closed. For a people whose local climbing area would be Horne Lake, they sure do not seem to be taking steps to ensure that the a...

Either way, they should not be the end-all-and-be-all for how hard that people ought to think they are. So, I'm not downgradi...

Tragedy of the Commons *Warning: Reading and thought involve
Anyone ever having taken a Philosophy or Ethics class may have come across this. Philosopher John Locke proposed the Tragedy of the Commons in that (and this will be a very brief and crude description) if one puts his/her labour to something, that adds value to it and thus confers ownership. His exa...

Closely bolted
I'm going out on a limb and saying that some sport routes in Squamish are too closely bolted versus the bolting style like Smith. It takes a bit away from the exprience of leading with the potential for a big whipper.
I think its a bit of a loss for us. Any thoughts?
