Then they had to make a big decision. Who was going to lead the first pitch, and would any spoon pitons be needed? Plus would there be cocoa and marshmallows with their bedtime story? Would Squamish SAR be called out because some non-climber saw "a light on the wall"? Disregarding such existential questions, they set off. Big Jim was there, in spirit anyway - don't leave home without him! They hadn't climbed far when the pink fingers of sunset began to caress the horizon, and the street lights began to come on. Our brave heroes needed a roof for the night. Where could they find one?

While hiking through the forest, the three bears were assailed by trolls. There was the Bruce-troll, the Greg-troll, the Hamish-troll, and the Jim-troll. "You're going to die" said the cheerful trolls, unaware that this is a childrens' story. "The bolts are going to break, you're going to freeze, you should just wait until they build their idiotic gondola, plus we envy you all your fun".
Haha Anders, literary gold right there! Unaware that this is a children's story lol!

The threesome was also worried about nocturnal attacks from peregrine falcons, and tired from vertical freight-handling, but was relieved that Luke-bear's honed sasquatch sense revealed that none of the creatures were in the vicinity, although it is ideal habitat. Still, you can't short, medium and long fix all night, and besides not everything was broken and needed fixing. The team had some more to eat. Suddenly the light went on, although it was dark. There was a large granite roof overhead, which was just the ticket. Their room might lack walls and a floor, but it had a darn good ceiling! Plus a view that couldn't be beat.

First pitch of the adventure was short and brutal Maneuvering from the 2nd last anchor on 'moving to Montana' up under the roof was quite tricky and scary. Involving rotten rock and lots of hooking...
Bmacd, I have two dull bits and they are both at home

Our brave heroes had endured many hardships and perils in their Quest. Finally princess Tami arrived, to succour them. "Portaledge portaledge, on the wall", she said, "Who is the fairest of them all?" And no, she added, I'm not Fishing for an answer. If you want witty repartee, talk to the evil stepmother.

OK, looked it up - Tami's reputation remains untarnished.
Sorta.
Wicked good fairy tale, MH. Do we get a poisoned apple?

Good morning Internet friends the three bears survived the night, despite a minor portaledge malfunction that woke the trio unexpectedly. Going to get climbing after some coffee and breaky on the pitch that sent me home crying to mommy.
Nate had a dream that the heli snuck in and picked the whole ledge off the wall.

I tried my best to pretend that nothing was wrong and go back to sleep. Safety fifth climbing at it's finest.

The three little fuzzy wuzzy bears awoke from their cozy, cuddly nap - it wasn't time to hibearnate yet. It was yet another bluebird day in Squampton, where the sun always shines, except maybe on planning processes. They checked carefully for p'terodactyls, trolls, sasquatches, Werners, peregrines, and other monsters, after first clearing their heads with some coffee. It turned out that the fairy princess had only been their imaginations. But WHAT imagination! Anyway, they were hooked on the wall, alert to poisoned apples, had put on their magic slippers (but no magic underwear - sorry, Mitt), and were ready to continue with the ride of the Valkyries and other Wagnerian stuff that Bruce-troll had warned them about.
