Thanks to all who did something worth taking a picture of and sharing it with the rest of us. Â I for one might enjoy those shots. It's not every day you get to build one of those. Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 24, 2003 Author Posted September 24, 2003 Not a bad photo yet. Good thing nobody put a picture of Dru's mug then there might have been Quote
chirp Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 NON climbing but equally in theme with the Northwest spirit. Â Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 24, 2003 Author Posted September 24, 2003 chirp nobody said they had to be climbing shots. Looks like a cross between necronomicon and robertm in that lower photo Quote
Cairns Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Cpt.Caveman said: Cairns said: I saw a climber today. It's hard to get a good photo, though. They seem to be shy and can feel the lens focusing on them and they change color to blend in with the rock.  Incredible looking. Where are the rest   This was not a good day for pictures, though these guys on the Grand Wall could have looked good if only they would take direction better. Maybe they couldn't understand my shouting. We were on the 'new Squamish 14 pitch 11a'.  We met the Grand Wall climbers on Bellygood. Ward, from Golden, had just moved back to Squamish. He had lived there in early 70s. He said things had changed a bit. Andrew, the other guy, was from Calgary I think, staying with Ward for a while.  Here they are on the lieback pitch. Quote
Dru Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 ward robinson is back in town!!! The "Suffer Machine" in person  lock up your winter routes and hide your ice!! Quote
Cairns Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Capt. Caveman, Â Fine choice of topic and good job encouraging responders. Your mood-setting shot that started it was excellent, by the way. Â Is the Capt. nautical? I'm thinking of doing a calendar on 'Boats of K******** Park'. In the meantime, here is a picture of Rachelle on her first un-assisted traverse. Previously her boyfriend had helped her across the crux. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 24, 2003 Author Posted September 24, 2003 Cairns, more nice photos. I may or may not be nautical depending what you are asking. Â I can only thank you for sharing you prizes. Â Â If there is crux and the photo is good then do it. I am unable to share one of my cameras work. I think I may never. I feel confident about my decision. Â Â Thank you again for sharing! Â I only wish more people to share. There are many good photos already Quote
erik Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 sorry for the late post...... just got em back. Â Â Â Quote
