Trying to keep the Big Mike stoke going on here with some old climbing pics. I've never taken pictures while climbing in Squamish so was surprised to find these ones buried in a cabinet. I totally forgot about this event ever taking place,early Alzheimer's I guess. It was either Jim Brennan taking these pics or my New Zealand friend John McCallum in 1989 or 1990.
Rock shoe quiz, what are the shoes we are wearing?

Always loved being up here, feels like home.

I never did own any Lycra, I found Zellers track pants far more stylish.

sure there are trees around mike.. it is squamish after all hehe
the thing i'm worried about is that the double chain links are misleading. A noob might be confused and believe the two chain links represent a redudant anchor system when in reality the staple is a single point of protection. If these staples are in fact breaking at 600lb's of force this would be catastrophic.

I think a 600lb climber could have catastrophic forces on any anchor.

That's less that three times my weight. How far would I have to fall to exert 600lbs? We need Ed Hartouni in here. Paging Dr Hartouni!! ;)
