An encyclopedist.

I've already found this site useful for information on Frankenstein Tradster, Everything Under the Sun, and Upper Echelon. I like almost everything Squamish-climbing-related but photos ideally should have a story to tell other than "Here's what it looked like."

It has been said that some Squamish locals have on their refrigerator a list. Not a list of select, outstanding, or desirable routes, but a list of scruffy, obscure and possibly non-existent routes.

Photos are great but I'd like to see a text section on this site devoted to brief comments on seldom-heard-from climbs. Like, "Nothing will ever rival a direct line and this route doesn't even try." (From the Art Gran Gunks guide)

such as

On Tilt - the next Right Wing?
Raindance - does not continue up the obvious dirty corner
Damn the Torpedos - almost saw it once
Liquid Gold - fun (according to Harry)


and the Preview option serves for editing

That wasn't obvious?
Yes.


Mr. Moderator, could you add Harry to this site?
