Am I correct in concluding that Big Jim Sinclair was both up and about by 7am, and also went skiing? Or is there another Big Jim? Two and two seems to be making five.......

Or seven. Or nineteen.
I wondered about that too. Anyway, glad to hear that, whatever size he is, Mr. Brennan had a good day.

I'm not. :-)
Big Mike seems to be the tallest who ever threw a wingspan at Squish tho'. He towers over Randy, Dean, Perry & the Bros. Spat.
I could put Ed Spat's rock shoes on overtop of mine. Double boots. :-)

There has to be some mutant out there that's bigger than me. How about it? Anyone know of any 6'8 plus mutant climbers that frequent Squamish??

Only the sasquatch, which used to live in the north gully, might have been marginally bigger.
So BM, widely acclaimed and internationally celebrated "Photographer of Super Topo", what is your opinion of the cover-shot on the new Bourdon select? Rotated or not?

The North Walls troll is a rather large fellow, but quite shy.

Now tami, you must keep a lid on it. I am obviously more hip than you to social media.
Just think what his girl friend would say reading that?

Bruce she thinks its fuking hilarious. ;) I find it quite amusing also.
Hamie! I had not yet had a chance to check out your query! I believe you are correct sir, it would be unnatural to shoot it as seen on the cover. The angle is what really makes the shot, It works from all angles! 90 degrees right seems to be the original angle. I'm gonna try that one next time I'm shooting a lead for sure!
As to the photographer of supertopo thing, sometimes I feel like a guppy in a pool full of sharks. There is a lot of talented people around here. I'm just glad you guys enjoy my efforts and hopefully I spark a few brain cells and we get another golden nugget or two in the process.

Has everyone who ought to be invited to the soiree on Friday night in fact been notified? Perhaps Bruce could usefully work off some energy and do a roll call.

Paul, it'd be great to catch up. The wife and baby run off to Ontario in January, so I'll have a bash at mine. I'm thinking Friday 11th of Jan. You, Mike, Sandra, Luke, Ais, Relic, Nath, Kieran, RyanD, Chief and the rest of you who I've never met, Tami, Anders, GF, Hamish x2 etc are all welcome. More details later, until then, Perry's should be rad....

Wait a sec here. Where is Irish PB, that little hobbit. Lol, I want my cams back, I got some projects that require head sized pro :p
Thanks for the Son of Pan story Greg! Sounds like you're getting lots of skiing in too!
Big mike, as my rock climbing mentor you were supposed to teach me to play it cool in the company of royalty. D'oh.
In other news I started at Capilano University today, my mom is gonna be so proud of me.
