im sure he just likes to show off. otherwise he wouldnt spend so much time at the newbie crag. kinda in bad taste with new climbers.

that'd be Al and Ginger - yup. Harry also did a bunch of work down there last year. I'm sure there have been more too...

What's the deal with that guy? I always see him soloing around Burgers and Fries when there are guides out with newbies.

I wondered the same thing.

I agree!

Yes well he definitely deserves a good shite kicking from a posse of noobs

when i first moved to town and spent my evenings wandering up from Valleycliffe, learning to trad lead on the easy crags, he definitely made me ill at ease, between drunken soloing and ranting about threats to random ladies that he'll smash their heads into the rock if their dog bites his again...
now I realize he's another eccentric, and likely lonely, climbing bum. I wonder if his antics make it hard for him to get a partner to rope up with him? he's told me some stories of quite hard routes... either way, definitely makes it hard for noobs to get in a confident headspace above a shaky nut when he's downclimbing a route harder than they can climb, solo, with a lit cigarette, yelling at Ginger to get down from the top of the crag, with an empty tall boy at the bottom....

Wisecrack was my first trad lead and thank god he wasn't there that day otherwise I would not have been able to hang onto what little trad headspace I managed to scrounge up. And poor Ginger always looks so worried. Good thing Global TV missed him in their piece on Squamish...
