I'll 2nd that, Dick. Overall, I'm kind of mad at Canada for not letting me in a coupla years ago.

Erik's is Fee from near Rogue's Gallery.
Tami - that was not a very good guessing ratio.
1) Wadd from near Queen B.
2) Athelstan, the Salal Creek side
3) Steinbok cirque from Gamuza
4) Bella Coola
5) Slesse....not in Winter but in May. Road was snowfree, no snowshoes required... I admit I did get flown in for work, but I walked out :D
6) In-SHUCK-Ch aka Gunsight
7) Old Settler's north face.

Seems like a Full Vancouver should have more sports than skiing and swimming. Mountain biking, for sure.
Without too much blathering I will spell out what I consider a full day. The main thing is to hike the Grind. I used to think those people were pathetic but it turns out Im one of them. Unless we have done the Grind we feel subhuman. OTOH we may dodge all responsibilities of any adult import but still feel alright if we did the Grind.
Then do the traverse or go to Lighthouse.
Then sauna at West Van Aquatic Centre.

Dick, it was because of a misdemeanor on my record. That and the pompous customs guy who had the disgression to let me in but just didn't like the way I answered his questions.

The islands tend to be resident to some very interesting people.
All climbers are interesting but some are very interesting.

A good day. A helluva day would be a personal best on the Grind, a hard scary new problem, and the Icelander lady in the sauna.

I was gonna specifically appreciate a bit of Squamish rock-climbing but it got too crazy. Maybe a separate thread. I couldn't find a previous one.
Other than the 70s which I don't directly relate to.
Squamish-wise.
(I did notice MrE post a pic of U Wall here.)

Andy - is this what you're looking for? A work in progresss.

Yes, Mighty Hiker, that is what I'm looking for, what I found, and the trap which has sprung and caught my foot until I use that pocket knife.
I did reference you. "Other than the 70s..."
I might not last until you get to the Squamish I know and appreciate.
I am going to do a Climbing at Squamish in the 2008s.
Then work back, probably meeting up with you around 1982.
JimE, remember for every annoying Canadian the US has 10 equally or more annoying.

Can't argue with that. But Celine definitely holds her own.
