canadian flag on the grand

[supafly]

good show of patriotism.. anyone know who's responsible?

[Fre]

Too much patriotism lately...is there any surface on which Canadians won't paint/tattoo/display a Canadian flag? It would have been more creative if someone would have hauled up a huge Pepsi banner

Could the flag have been left behind by the same crew that flew a banner on the Grand for Squamish's Maëlle Ricker? The banner was to pay tribute for Maëlle's gold in Snowboard Cross. Way to go Maëlle!

Here's a still from the video


And here's the link to the video

the interesting part for me is the location. not exactly a very climbed part of the wall!

[squamish climber]

What climb is that flag on?

[erock]

Looks like Uncle Ben's to me.

This is a sad trend that must stop in my opinion. Squamish is getting uglier by the day, we don't need to drag the Chief into it as well.

I think its a kick a$% way to sport a flag for the olympics. squamish style.

[J Mace]

Looks good to me

Solo aid climber on Uncle Ben's last weekend. Chatted with him on Merci Me when I did the Grand on Saturday.... European fellow, good climber it seemed like.

Patriotic? Depends on how you look at it.

It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but either:

a) it is painted on there, which in my opinion makes it nothing much more than the latest incident of Squamish rock graffiti, or

b) it is a flag somehow attached to the wall, which unless it is removed in a timely manner makes it nothing much more than the latest piece of trash which is going to end up at the base of the Grand Wall

[supafly]

agreed that whoever did put it up there should take responsibility for bringing it down.

lets cry a river about a flag. my god. you folks are bored.

Yo Bradley, since you like nationalistic crap so much, I'm sure you don't mind me hanging up a Belgian flag on the Chief because the at least 5 Belgian athletes competed in Vancouver 2010 (loosing miserably in each of their disciplines but that's beside the point)
