Mighty Hiker,
I hope to go to Squamish -- am trying to talk my son into joining me, but he has a titanium rod in his tibia, from knee to ankle, after a crash ski racing, and is reluctant to climb with said rod in his leg .....

Barcus I hate to break it to you but Fires didn't show up till the 80s by which time the 70s were all but over. Get with the times man.
YIKES Ydpl8s, where is your pro? That's a honking run out. If you had fallen there we could have said a falling Scott gathers no moss man. Heeeheeeheee.

Phil, I'd only been climbing about a month when that picture was taken. I think I had a plastic Forrest moac placed at the top of the crack w/o a runner, biner clipped right into the wire loop, sketch.
Here's another couple of photos from that outing.
