Jim Brennan:
I do believe this photo you posted is from Mt. Stuart, WA with Stuart Lake below, not the Chehalis Range. Though I could be wrong, but....

Yes Jim, it's a place that feels trapped in a time long since passed.
Really enjoying these old shots too boys thanks!

God, I love this thread. My last two posts were to the "what is ass" thread and something about dagos.
Really cool pics and dismembered memories, Jim. You are now a full member of the CRS battalion. (can't remember shite"

Was there an accident on the Chief today? (Saturday, 2 Aug)
After we got baked off whatever it was we were pretending to climb we wound up in town and on the spit in the afternoon, and could hear and see a helicopter hovering around the upper North Gulley. Eventually it went away, but not long after came back and spent more time in there.
Always scary to hear & see that.

Yes Dave. Apparently there was a non life threatening injury on Angel's Crest this afternoon.

We did a HETS operation off the Acrophobes.
I heard Honnold third classed The Grand in 38 minutes.

Starting early is essential for beating the heat and crowds.
On Saturday, The Bear and I were at the top of Snake by 08:00.
Followed up with a nice cruise on the SUP from the front yard to Darrel Bay and back.
I ended semi recumbent on the sofa and lapsed into an indolent torpor only to be awakened for the HETS rescue off the Angel Crest.
Some kind of multi sport day I guess.

Yes, you gotta know when to fold 'em.
We didn't get an early enough start (something about driving until after midnight), but at least were smart enough to figure out that overhanging offwidth in full sun on a 30-degree day was the wrong thing.
The right thing? Uh, lets get out on the spit and get in the water and wind! Turned out the spit was hosting some kind of international kite boarding comp, and we not only got beer, but saw some pretty amazing off-the-water flying. Multi-sport indeed.
I posted one picture on the previous page, but here are a few more
These guys were bearing down on the crowd at warp speed, and lifting off so close that they could practically touch hands with the spectators.

Yesterday was a bad day at the crags.
3 month old rope.
3 month old camera.
Multi-year old wrist.
An expensive day too.

Whoa! Hamish... Hope you're okay.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, but other times we really need the words.

Lightning? The rope looks muddy, too. Some kind of close call and quite a neat de-sheathing. I hope you recover well.

Took a walk in the heat last week:
Almost there... that hill went on so friggin' long I wondered if I was getting lost.
A pretty decent reward for 15 km of sweat.

jeez when it's that hot in Squamish you should pool some cash for the chopper ride to the Little Toba, thousands of feet of sun kissed granite with a glacier or 20 to keep things cool.
87 km from brackendale as the crow, or A-star, flies... that must be closer than Pemberton!

Or even better, this stuff around Tzoonie... 30 kms from downtown Squamish, no routes on the face yet, chehalis-like rock, ???

Thanks for the good wishes. As you can see, I did something really dumb. No excuses. Just dumb. 'Nuff said. Fortunately my wrist is not nearly as bad as it looked at first. My bank a/c [and my pride] took a bigger hit than my wrist.
Cheers,
H.
