many years ago now on my first ever climbing trip to Smiff I set out up Jete and missed the traverse into Dancer and kept going straight up. Nearing the anchor with more than a half pitch of no pro beneath me but on easy ground I grabbed a big flake with both hands and pulled up and it broke off
I fell backwards
And landed on a 8 inch wide ledge 2 feet below and teetered there in precarious balance for a few seconds before putting the broken hold down on one side and leaning in to the rock and shaking like a leaf...
"Granite wouldn't do that...what is this damn rock anyways?"
it has been kinda sucky warm in downtown most of this week but i do not doubt that colder north facing things such as red wall wanderers are still in...
anybody going up? still waffling about it myself.
In the new provincial budget it was annnounced that purchasers of "Beacons, probes, gas-powered inflatable avalanche airbag systems" etc. will no longer be required to pay provincial sales tax (7.5%) in BC
