I'm in for the Chief Challenge, although due to my living in the city, lack of a car, and snow being top of the to-do list these days, I won't be starting till spring.
However, I will be training hard all winter, so I'm guessing that I'll be able to catch up to you lightweights pretty quick once the time comes.

I ticked the Challenge yesterday, so all you poseurs can fugetaboutit already

And just a reminder to the calendar challenged, Winter begins December 21st and ascents subsequent to that date can be described as such.

Bump for fundraising for Habitat for Humanity.

Plus who - apart from Aislinn, that is - wouldn't want to see The Kid do a winter solo ascent of the Grand Wall?

I'm definitely down with Luke doing the Grand solo. Just as long as someone brings an extra rifle I can borrow.

Hey, just a question - why is climbing Clean Crack illegal now?

Hey jaaan. Truth is it probably was always trespassing, but BC rail always just let it slide. The bc government sold bc rail to CN Rail in a scandalous way..... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/van-dongen-hires-lawyer-prominent-in-bc-rail-case-to-probe-further/article4096225/

Since then CN had been super anal about trespassing on their tracks and they aren't willing to compromise with local climbers...
