Hey Dave, found this at the Japanese Camp - I think it might be yours:
Stop by Baguales next time you're in town, I'll buy you a beer!

Good on ya! Keep it going! This is what life is all about. Just got back from Iqaluit and a short business meeting and the good stuff was on my mind to be sure. There is lots of small practice stuff - boulders and some single pitch slabs around the town - out in the Silvia Grinnell park - it was an awesome day and it reminded me of a good time on North Baffin in 1975 (long before I got into climbing). Apparently a couple of routes have been put in and kids have been seen heading out with crash pads and shoes. In awhile we could have Inuk youth putting up new routes on the big walls!
For the bears at night - carve up a piece of char or seal and embed as much Ex-Slax as you can in it. Stick it out where it is obvious. You will sleep well as if it gets consumed, the bear will be moving too fast with butt to the ground to ever consider gnawing on yer bones. Another option is the Father Mary approach from Nunguvik on Navy Board Inlet - a turnpike area for bears. He set up a trip wire all around his tent with it attached to a push button alarm clark. The bear trips the wire and then the clock and you know who is coming for dinner!
Would deal with all of them except those on tippy-toes!
Back up would be an RCMP taser for a close encounter of a gastronomical kind should the other two options be overrated. The Mounties have put have a few dudes into the land of angels recently so I doubt the bears would stand a chance of munching you up. Bear meat is edible so there is a value added component to the result - just don't don't eat the liver as you definitely would join the angels at Camp 5.
Thanks for the great report.

Wow! That just doesn't say it...not sure if any words will express what I feel. I do hope you are doing slide show presentations of this expedition? Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
