If you are planning to come to Squamish this weekend please take note:
1) The Test of Metal mountain bike race is June 19 (Sat.)
The normal Smoke Bluff parking lot *may* be closed all day saturday as a result. Climbers will have to park further away and walk in.
2) Brad Zdanivsky, the only climber to continue climbing after becoming a quadraplegic, will be trying to climb the Grand Wall. (I think he jumars with his neck and head or somethin') Anyways there will be fixed ropes strung up all over the Grand both Sat and Sun. The fixed line will be right of the Split but the last 2 pitches to Bellygood will probably be seeing heavy traffic from Brad and his support crew on the afternoons of both Sat and Sun. Plan accordingly. Maybe not the best weekend to do Grand Wall.
