Thanks BK and Jeremy: I emailed the local planner for the Ministry of Forests (thanks, Mike T.) and received a nearly identical response to the one Mike posted higher up (claiming that they are involving groups like the SAS and are doing everything possible to mitigate impacts, etc.). I cc'd MLA Stu...

BCTS and the representatives of the Canadian Access Society (CAS) and the Squamish Access Society (SAS) met on June 23, 2014 to discuss options to manage trails and reduce visual impact in the area of SW144 (block SW103 is part of revised shape of block SW144). Cheers Can anyone from the CASBC and/...

Thanks very much, BK and LateralMovements: One of the arguments made in favor of the Gondola, by its’ proponents (and some prominent climbers) was that the advent of the Gondola would prevent any further logging in the areas above the Chief. This would seem to be a good opportunity for them to act o...

I hope the Gondola folks don't learn about his stand...he is muscling in on their turf.

Hello:

Anyone involved with running the CASBC, please note that for at least two days now, the website is down and email bounces.

Hey Imnotnate:

Check out the thread: "moderate route developers dream post!" posted by Gokoloco for more info. Please post what you learn about access from the south. The Valley of Shaddai area is a wonderful, under-used climbing resource.

Also one of the videoS noted safety concerns with glue-in stapl...

No idea, but just climbed Star Chek again yesterday. This mystery route "looks" like it is good to go, maybe mixed gear and bolts? There seem to be stations. It would be great if the FA'ist would announce something. On a different note...there is a new (to me) rap station for Star Chek, other than t...

Also the new area "the outpost" has 2 splendid multi pitch sport routes, Centurion 6p 10c or Western Harlot 4p 5.9, that dry at an astonishing rate. good views too Western Harlot was perfectly dry yesterday (Oct. 12) and another party was on Centurion. The hike in was in good shape although a bit m...

Climbed this today with Erik. A really fun route. Thanks very much Conny and Jamie. Beautiful views out to the Tantalus and all around. Thanks also for the great job with the trail and topo. The first two pitches collect dirt and needles - having a cleaning tool was helpful for cleaning holds before...

Climbed Centurion today and was mostly dry, totally climbable.
