Re: trigger wire repair
I've always used derailleur cables for my repairs. I can't remember where I got my swages, though. Pacific Fasteners?

Nice! A few years ago I ran into the exact same thing on the top of the Merci Me approach to the Grand.

Re: Multi Pitch Politeness when stuck behind slow folks.

Re: Cleaning at Upper Oleson Cr Wall (Wiretap area)
If one is keen to see the line, there is a photo post of someone climbing Wiretap in the Wiretap thread (taken from Slot Machine).

Re: who stole my summer?
Did it rain as hard on the mainland as it did here on Hornby Island today? I've never seen solid rain like this in the middle of summer in the 22 years I've lived on the west coast.

Re: Nice Video - Nice Climb - Mt Habrich
