Climb: Squamish-Cannabis Wall Date of Climb: 5/16/2006 Trip Report: I aid soloed Cannabis Wall today, below the ledge. This activity gave me an opportunity to listen to music. I also got to try out my Ruskie aiders and adjustable daisies, which are cool. All the heads are fixed, so it's more like C1 with the occasional hook move or two. Pitch 2 is wet and slimy. I thought it a fine effort for my first "real" aid solo. A squawky Peregrine was unimpressed, as you no doubt are by this TR. no photos, but if you can imagine someone moving very slowly for eight hours in front of some rock then you've caught the zeitgeist. Gear Notes: Hooks, Lots of small nuts, Aliens... all very useful.

have you ever climbed Yosemite 5.11 off-width? This quote pretty much sums it up...."After thorough inspection, you conclude this move is impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it. "

He's right! Mike knows Gay!

Raven Steals the Sun According to a Haida story, in the beginning the world was in total darkness. The Raven, who had existed from the beginning of time, was tired of groping about and bumping into things in the dark. Eventually the Raven came upon the home of an old man who lived alone with his daughter. Through his slyness, the Raven learned that the old man had a great treasure. This was all the light in the universe, contained in a tiny box concealed within many boxes. At once the Raven vowed to steal the light. He thought and thought, and finally came up with a plan. He waited until the old man's daughter came to the river to gather water. Then the Raven changed himself into a single hemlock needle and dropped himself into the river, just as the girl was dipping her water-basket into the river. As she drank from the basket, she swallowed the needle. It slipped and slithered down into her warm belly, where the Raven transformed himself again, this time into a tiny human. After sleeping and growing there for a very long time, at last the Raven emerged into the world once more, this time as a human infant. Even though he had a rather strange appearance, the Raven's grandfather loved him. But the old man threatened dire punishment if he ever touched the precious treasure box. Nonetheless the Ravenchild begged and begged to be allowed to hold the light just for a moment. In time the old man yielded, and lifted from the box a warm and glowing sphere, which he threw to his grandson. As the light was moving toward him, the human child transformed into a gigantic black shadowy bird-form, wings spread ready for flight, and beak open in anticipation. As the beautiful ball of light reached him, the Raven captured it in his beak! Moving his powerful wings, he burst through the smokehole in the roof of the house, and escaped into the darkness with his stolen treasure. And that is how light came into the universe.
