I Need some Advice... This winter i want to stay in shape and climb in the gym regularly (for the first time in many many years!).

on Saturday Sept 8th, (lots and lots of people at Chek) we were the last to leave and somebody left their La Sportiva Testarosa's at the base of The Main Event/Big Show wall. They are size 40.5 i left them at ClimbON in Squamish (on 2nd Ave. across the street from SaveOnFoods) so if you forgot them ...

Room's rented. Have fun climbing...

The house is 3 bedrooms and 2 of them are empty. my girlfriend and i are in the 3rd room but i work in Vancouver 6 days a week so i'm rarely there and she works evenings in Squamish so ...

If Jeremy calls me up (say... to go climbing), then for sure i'll be taking him out to the Pub afterwards, but if he doesn't call me up, well, i don't have his # and we've only met a handfull of times at the crag so i'd have no way to take him out for drinks if i never see him, right? Cheers, Steve ...
