inugural Golden Scrub Brush Awards

Post by smallman » Sat Sep 06, 2014 9:57 am

Hi All:
Do you like climbing new routes and problems? Of course you do. Everyone does. Well here's your chance to show your favourite "digger" some love and appreciation (besides you girls giving them a huge flesh pressing hug at a minimum) as The Squamish Access Society is accepting nominations for the Inaugural Golden Scrub Brush awards to be awarded at our AGM or possibly a separate award ceremony/ partay. Awards are to be in the following categories:
1) Best new trad or mixed crag route (single pitch) hard 11 + , moderate 10-
2) best new sport route, hard 11 + , moderate 10-
3) best contributing boulderer
4) Best new multi-pitch
5) Best new crag or area.
6) Best re-scrub and retrofit.
7) Best new route name and back story

Nominations for a separate award for lifetime achievement (Induction into the Fellowship of the Golden Scrub Brush) will also be accepted for an individual or team. Candidates for this award can be currently active or retired local developers still living in the Squamish catchment area who have developed a significant body of quality climbs.

Nomination Rules:
1) Please choose routes developed since 2009. We wish to appreciate developers who have created the Second Golden Era of Squamish climbing.
2) Self Nomination in all categories EXCEPT CATEGORY 7 (BEST Route name and Story) will result in immediate disqualification. Category 7 nominations can be either self nominated or community nominated.
3) Nominations shall be accompanied by a brief rationale (max one paragraph) as to merits for nomination. This rationale should be more intellectual and have more substance than "because it is mega sick dude."
4) Internet flaming of other nominations will result in immediate disqualification of your nomination with ZERO exceptions.

Please submit your nominations to SAS's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Squamish ... 1370216065. Nominations will be vetted by an esteemed panel of judges and selected nominations will be subject to public vote on our facebook page. Selected Best route name and back story candidates will be asked to present their story at a later function (10 min max) and the award will be presented based on audience response. Winners will get a beautiful trophy, bragging rights, our undying love and affection, and possibly some swag. We hope to make the awards ceremony a super evening out.

It has been brought to my attention that there are people who don't use Facebook. Weird. But for those people you can post your nominations on this thread. Also the closing date for nominations is Oct 15, 2014 so we can have things ready for a mid to late November awards ceremony.

Peder Ourom

Facebook?...No thanks

I nominate Peder for best new crag for his outstanding work on Woodstock that provides a set of several excellent quality, wide ranging (5.8-5.11) moderate sport routes on the new Murrin Loop trail. Even without topos yet on quickdraw pubs (or even some names for the climbs) it always seems to have folks on it.

Great job Peder!
