While you people were at the mountain festival shows at the high school, I was across the street at a "different" kind of party.

Darn it kid. You ruined my joke. I was going to ask if it was Dean Hart and if so, to tell him that if can come back now that Bruce has excomunicated himself from the taco. ;)
How's it going up there? Making any progress?
Hamie- Excellent idea. I had a pint or two of that fine beer after our Grand Wall lite ascent. Tricouni had some excellent slides of you guys the other night.
After watching the buildering segments I now understand how you free climbed ylps without any gear. Imagine if they gave you guys the equipment we have these days when you were at your peak?

I missed most of the fest, and climbed instead. I am glad to have attended the slideshows on the opening night.
Yesterday we slept in too late to go with our original plan of Snake, so the decision was made to go to Seal Cove for a bit before lunch. On the way to Squamish my buddy Kieran called me and said he was partnerless so we picked him up on the way.
We arrived at the pull-out, and after racking up headed down to the old highway bed. Kieran was amazed that everything had mossed over so quickly. When we got there we rapped Lost Horizon with a 70m.
There were quite a few parties there, alot more than I've ever seen. No one was on the 5.8 Bubble Buddy so I jumped on it to warm up.

Had i chosen to go straight up a this point I would have finished as per Jeff Thompsons original intentions but instead i continued right up the crack through the vegetation. I hooked up Kieran's rope so he could solo tr Lost Horizons and brought Sandra up.
She had no trouble and neither did Kieran so when we were wating for Sandra to rap Kieran's line, I asked him if he would like to lead the pitch and he could leave the fixed line for me to jug and take photos. He said "Ya I don't see why not!?"
So I got my jug on. I found it quite easy jugging on slab, and I ditched the aider quickly.

The view here is just incredible!

After this one we went to murrin and had an excellent afternoon at up amongst the firs. I did A Little Testies and was shocked to find it was 10c in the new book?

Well it is the internet after all. I have always been surprised at how civil this thread typically remains compared to the rest of the taco. I would like to thank the thread cops for that.. I'm sure there are a few :)
For the record Bruce isn't banned by the powers that be at ST. His account is still active.
