Took me completely by surprise. Pretty sure he'll be stronger than the job is, though.

Good to hear Ryan. Was there a flash mob on the route?

Excellent rare photo. Why is the leader carrying a couple of electric fans?

Not much to say. We brought 1 Valley Giant #9 (borrowed), 2 #6s, and a #4 big bro. The big bro was not used. The hard part (overhanging tipped-out 6 or really tight VG ) is short. The rest of the route is very mellow. My partner Matt (visiting Van with me) led the business pitch.
Everyone got good foot spans (solid heel-toe) the entire time. Despite being small I couldn't get any part of my body in.
Get on! It's strenuous but over fast.
Sorry, not much pictures from the trip.
We also did Liquid Gold and ran up Angel's Crest. And my Vancouver buddy led and styled Dancing in the Light. That was an awesome slab. We didn't get as many climbing days in as I had hoped so I'm scheming right now about a return later this summer. The density of quality climbs rivaled any area I've been to.

yes, the FFA solo is quite impressive. Did the person onsight it? If not, he would have known that there is really only like 5 meters of actually hard (10+) offwidth on the climb...

damn, onsight soloing it... i guess at the time there was so little wide gear available that it would have been a very bad idea to fall. If you fell at the crux you would take a very big fall onto the bolt, you would probably hit the ramp below.

Perhaps you refer to what took place near Point Atkinson?

It was awesome! GF soloed off into the distance, eventually disappearing around the headland. JB said his foot was too sore to even shoe up, but then he shoed up and danced out fifteen meters or so and then came back. Mari and I didn't even get to the shoeing up stage. Just watched.
Then GF magically reappeared from some totally different direction and we all walked back toward the cars, only to meet Mr. Cairns on his way in. He had a camera dangling from his wrist, so maybe there will be photographic evidence of what happened later.

On my way in I met a couple who asked me for directions.
They seemed a bit hyper, asking about some stairs and a rock face, and how to get out. They told me they had just got engaged in the park. They had me take a picture with their camera. I gave them directions for getting out.
Then I met a couple who asked me for directions. They wanted to get back on the highway to Squamish. I misdirected them but then Greg and Jim showed up.
A couple boys from Surrey showed up. They were good folk. They did not ask directions.
A couple boats went by. On one of them there was a guy with a very obtrusive camera lens.
I would have taken more pictures but it just didn't feel right.

Squamish pianist bump.
The radio just said that Cat Toren was climbing at Squamish, yesterday. And then she was in a wife-carrying contest. Plays the piano, too.

Speaking of ineffective, broken or lost cameras I seem to have miss placed/forgot mine somewhere.
Canon g12 missing since fall of 2013, has anyone seen it?
