Wednesday night at the Cecil Hotel in Vancouver.
Great times bitd. I don't think you could call it a climber hangout, but at least they tolerated us. Probably because we were marginally more desirable than the crazies and homeless guys that were their other customers.
....
R.I.P Wednesday night at the Cecil.
Yes, great times at the Cece. I drank way too much beer there, and I even got banned for life from the place (not for drinking beer - as long as you could choke it down, it was ok with them). Of course, there was rapid turnover in bartenders and bouncers, so I was back there in a week or so.
Now the Cecil has gone, to be replaced by high-end housing. I don't know where all the rubbies who lived there went, 'cause all those old places are gone or going.

Is the Chieftain that dive in Squeamish where Bruce Hawkins and I had a
discussion about manhood with those loggers? When I stood up at 6'-1"/185
and Bruce stood up at 6'-3"/190 those gay loggers got all chummy like.

Is there still free camping at the strawberry lodge by lovers?
The grizzly bar in roscoe mt comes to mind as well as the grocery store in fishtail.

I didn't witness it, but there are stories about Steve Sutton brawling with loggers in the Chieftain bitd.

this tiny version was the only image I could find of that Ed Cooper pic of Angel Crack. Definitely not Willi, could be Fred Stanley. I do recall the picture, it's as hard a start for a 5.8 route as you'll find anywhere.

I remember when Seattle had a vibrant climbing scene.....seems pretty dead now.
The Sink in Boulder was quite the climber's pub in the 70's.
Nothing in the States rivals the climbing pubs in the UK.

Off White, that was definitely Stanley looking for Livingstone.
There weren't any climber pubs in Seattle BITD, other than Givler's house.
The Northlake Pizza came as close to being one as there was. There was a
memorable evening there after Warren Harding's Dawn Wall slide show. Well,
the first few hours were memorable anyway.
