I like to picture my baby Jesus like a little kid comer, all covered in chalk with pitons instead of clothespins holding all the poop in his little haulbag diaper.
Merry Xmas to all the Squaminards & OGs out there!
Too true! I can remember springs at Squamish when whoever went to the Valley for the great spring weather returned with tales of sitting in a tent in the rain. While we'd been climbing our asses off.
Not that it was always that way, but Squamish can be pretty nice early in the year.
Edit: No fair on that first picture Mike. If you want to put that one up, it should be accompanied by a side view to show the true angle.
I stole this from the ice climbing thread. A very cool little bit of video that captures the atmosphere well. I thought its a good fit here as just up the road on any winter day you can find exactly this up at Blackcomb. Piss easy approach on ski's followed by pints of stout down at Blacks.
For some reason this sort of gig just dosn't resonate with local climbers. I've always been a bit mystified by this but I tell you if you liked angels Crest in full conditions you'll dig this stuff. Let me know, i'll go up there with you.
Let us know!
