Re: Video - Squamish Bouldering Old School

I think when this video was made we were already at the third bouldering guide book? The first one was free, handed out by Peter Michaux. Was a really fun time, my roomate (Stu W.) at the time took the cover of the second guide, I think it was after we cleaned this monkey and the grinch. Most of the...

Re: Mount Habrich

The road is being repaired now, the blockade is being taken down and replaced with a gate, possibly a tad higher with some room for some parking.

Apparently there is still some snow on the road, making for tough biking conditions but melting fast.

Cheers

Re: Squamish Select Top 100

Yes, there are lots of ways of writing it I suppose. I disagree, a select guide should be select, the best routes of the area that you have to tick. The one thing I hate about the book is that if he includes one climb at a wall he includes them all, so you get routes that havent been climbed in dec...

Re: Stawamus River climbers camp mess

Aaron, your perceived rights are not above the law. Campfires and camping are allowed on Crown land and although I dont agree with the climbers trash I would rather deal with that than have my rights as a citizen curbed because some folks are leaving behind trash. In that sense I dont agree with you...

Re: Stawamus River climbers camp mess

Municipal land, crown land, private land..... It's a moot point and irrelevant to the issue. If any would be campers decide to set up camp so close to a residential area and the locals don't like it, the camp gets shut down. Thats a pretty slippery slope there, and I dont agree with it. Crown land ...

Re: Climbing destinations - need recommendations

Potrero is out-- serious security issues not in Potrero per se but in areas around it-- basically there is no law, period, and if the big-timers don't f**k with you the small-timers who enjoy the absence of cops will. Well if you travel long enough in Mexico you know that the cops have never been t...

Re: Simul Rapping

Re: anyone fallen off diedre?

The best "story" ever about Diedre is the one Uncle Tricky wrote on CC. I think I have posted it here before.
