Shaun parent is an interesting and controversial figure in Canadian climbing. In the 80's and early 90's, according to the letters to the editor and CAJ articles that I've read he was known mostly for aiding free climbs, overgrading, and self-promotion. I believe he has mellowed with age and may actually be certified as an ACMG guide now?
There was a funny pic in a Canadian mag a few years ago depicting Shaun in a retro styled hot pink one-piece Goretex suit.
He has definitely done a lot to put the northern Ontario ice scene on the world stage.
