Yes, well, wait 30 years and then see how much you remember.

Nice work Andy, Chasing Rainbows is hard!
S.T.U.C.K. Is at it again! What's that thing called Luke?
Tami-dunno, at least a couple layers before you get to the ink i'd say... Lol

Nice T.U.C.K. art installation. Where do we go to see it? One of those rare photos that is equally believable no matter which way you turn it.

Anybody want to climb tomorrow? My partner felt sick and bailed, we were planning to do Rambles/Snake/Boomstick/Butt Lite but now I'm all on my lonesome and would love to get climbing tomorrow. Want to climb anything!
Cheers,
Jane

Bump for one of the coolest climbing areas anywhere!
Here's one from BITD when climbers wore beards and wool to stay warm.

Is this tree still part of the Grand Wall experience?

Thanks for the Squamish photos and stories.
Yes, the abused tree on the Sail Flake pitch of Grand Wall (lite) is still there. It can be avoided by starting a few feet right of it but this is Squamish so you get more credit, not less, if you climb the tree.

Tammy - I think you said that in a cartoon about a mythical crag. The leader says in a tremulous voice "It's steep and the rock is all pointy" or some such thing. I'm not exactly sure how the tremulous voice is portrayed, but that's the magic I guess. Still makes me laugh :-)
Here's one from the way back machine, 1980ish? Bill Myers and I are on Exasperator while you and Peter cruise the left side of Split Pillar (with your pinky toes hanging out of your EBs). I livened things up by whipping out of the crack, pulling a nut or two, and taking a big skidder!
Andy - from a very young age it's understood somehow that trees are made for climbing. 8a.nu must award bonus points for that sort of thing.

Keep those old school pics coming.
Eric, thanks again for climbing with me that night. Getting the onsight on orphan was not easy. Hardcore, old school 5.8! Awesome.
Anyone know this classic? Should be easy to figure it out. Just use the force....
Newbie climbing.

My first and still clear climbing memory is of starting up a towering sunflower stalk in the backyard of our house in Oklahoma City, 1950ish. I can't remember what happened next but I probably retreated because of the holds being prickly and sticky. Maybe there were ants. Trees were far better to get nearer the sky.
