How wuz seniors night, hope no one through their backs out.... Or got eatten by killer whales.
I've got a couple cool pic to share but not time to upload them. Soon. Maybe.
Ryan: thanks for your expressed concern, but I'm not even quite sure what sport climbing is or how one goes about it, that said, I'm pretty sure I didnt, atleast for my egos sake I hope I didnt, but if i did, accidently, does that mean I'm no long a recreationalist?
Bigmike no need to be sorry, as I was equally annoyed with you. :p
Uh, Question.... for Tami, what do you remember about Fatty Bolger? Did you come up with that name? Did Pete ground up in through thick moss I assume coated the bluff at one point?
And did it start straight up or by traversing in from the arête?

That's cool news about Marc on GL. Did he do the whole thing? Nathan and I walked by the start of it last week and noticed missing hangers. The first hanger was gone, but there was one on the second bolt... a long ways up. Yikes. Balls of steel elephant needed for that one.

This is the sort of thing that rewards the time I spend on ST.

So we didn't quite make it for the annual midsummer traverse, which now goes back 25+ years, not long after Big Dave and Little Dave discovered it. But we did get out there last night, and here are some photos.

So what was the plan for orca attacks? Climb faster?

I had a bunch of rocks to throw, and in fact chucked one on an experimental basis, as a test shot. Though I suspect a 105 mm howitzer would be more in line with what would be needed.

We're headed up tomorrow (actually I think it's today, now).
Please make sure that the popular moderate routes are fenced off so that we can enjoy the Squamish experience as it's meant to be enjoyed.

C'mon Ghost, we want a spraydown of the days events. How was your Squamish visit?
Went out with Nate Dog OG, Luke & Ais for some haphazard food and service at the Brutal Pub this evening. Nate Dog OG, aka Rock Lobster aka Soloclimber had the nastiest of nasty sunburns going on, courtesy of Mt. HayBrick. Luke and Nate Dog were practically passed out at the table. At one point Nate had his face resting face down on top of his third pint while Luke fell asleep sitting up. Good times.

I was doing that "other" traverse (the one at Lighthouse Park) around 15 years ago and had a Steller's sea lion surface right under my heels and snort at me.
Haven't done the Kl**n's traverse for a long time. Last time I was there some fisherman had taken a huge dump right at the south end.

A bivy on the Little Smoke Bluffs connection... Hopefully they won't need to make a fire to have enough smoke to keep the moskreechers away.

Got some GL deets for ya Hammish;
I thought he climbed it onsight, but apparently took 3 afternoons and 3 partners, and the first hanger was missing on the slab so he sinched it with a nut, also, I'm told a bolt elsewhere on the route fell off as he clipped it.
On the 3rd attempt Marc and Kruk link all the pitches continuously free.
