BM mentioned that the U Wall video was shown at the fest last night. Several years ago I came across an item on the web which indicated that the video was to be shown in some eastern Euro country, maybe Slovakia,Poland or ???? Anyway I hit the translate button, and this is what came back.......Not sure about the 'insurgency salad'. Perhaps that was Tim's lunch.
Glenn. Gotta luv the buildering sequences--great shots. The cement looks very hard.

Just watched the movie Walking Tall. It's a bit older, 2004, and the first time I saw it was just after it came out.
In the first scene of the movie, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is standing on a ferry in a bay, and I thought, "that looks a lot like Howe Sound."
Next shot is the ferry docking, and what's in the background but the Chief itself! There are multiple shots with the Chief as the backdrop, one or two with the Squaw and Smoke Bluffs, and a view of downtown Squamish starring the Chieftain Pub.
It was cool, cause I chose that movie completely at random, and had no idea that it had been filmed in a place I feel so connected to.

Hey Tricouni,
would it be possible for you to digitize your U-Wall movie and post it to Youtube
Hi Jim, Ivan Hughes has copyright to the movie itself. I own copyright to the buildering and Siwash rock footage. I probably should upload the buildering stuff, sometime.
But for the movie itself, that's Ivan's baby. Ask him.

Hey Luke,
Sadly i work in whis @ 4 most nights so can't partake much in the evening festivities, can go climb though if i drag my hide out of bed early enough. Went to Ed Coopers slideshow last year & that was amazing, the festival is always fun. Anyone know what crag/trails is being adopted? The man who can fly has some of the most amazing footage ever!!

I didn't even know the Mountain Festival was on until like Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe I just haven't been paying much attention, but it seems like it was advertised less than last year. By the time I knew it was happening, I had already made plans for Wednesday, and it's hard trying to hitch up after work for the festival, then back down in time to get enough rest for work the next day.
Would have loved to be there though.

Yeah, I got roasted last week. Only just able to go shirtless again now.
I wasn't sure if one of the other guys was gonna TR Habrich; I'll find out and if neither of them want to, I'll write one up.
I don't think he really sandbagged me, he did tell me it was a heinous approach. I just wasn't prepared at all..... spontaneous invite, I was already up there, so said why not?
Fish - When's the house warming?

Well, I traded in the single life a few years ago, moved half way around the world for ya nice granite, but for some reason didn't make it all the way to squish. Having a baby on the way sealed the deal, Van ain't nothing to write home about, it's dead after it's dark anyway! Nightlife my arse.
You'll find out Nath, don't worry.

Aww Anders, feeling left out? Fish just seems to be following the trend of not actually publishing a specific time and date on the internet.
I'm climbing with Sandra today on her only free day this week or I would love to rope gun the apron.
The habrich tale has been told on luke's blog. Google: luke's adventure blog.

A thought from the libation station.... Squishfest is always a good time for a toast of thanks to these two guys.Actually, any time would be a good time.
"THANKS GUYS!!!!!! BIG THANKS."

I was at the Glen Denny show tonight at the Squamish Film Festival. Amazing slides, stories. Hamie, I think you were in one of the photos. With Dunham?
The Will Stanhope show following Glen was great, too. Such a nice, funny guy, and he looks all of 17 years old.... and I like his attitude.

Yeah, what approach did you take that was only 45 minutes????
It was strange how down near where the trailhead began, the flagging tape marking our trail was everywhere, then when the steep stuff began, there was a little less flagging but the trail was obvious, then when it got to like full on 4th class, the trail disappeared along with any indicator of which way to go.
Tami, I don't recall climbing down any trees, but I did do the whole sliding on my ass thing from tree to tree. It was safer than trying to walk down in flip flops, and my feet hurt from doing the entire approach barefoot, then climbing for the day.
