endless canadian hospitality

endless entertainment by ray

many beers at howe sound pub--too many for some, eh crack?

a bird's eye view of a crazy rollover car crash in front of the parking lot (hey dru, do you know what happened? i'm sure you were down and out by then...)

On and off sprinkle in l-worth all day.

clamshell cave and hammerhead rock, dry, but crowded, several large groups on all the easy stuff.

 

placed some gear on top rope, tested placements, most were pretty bomber!

 

all in all a good day, topped off by some entertainment of a first time drunk at the restaurant bar, glad we weren't with her, and several cold ones.

 

yay, shoulda gone to squamish. [Mad][Mad]

accidently climb scw on sat, people said it rained but i never noticed...though some of the darker, shinnier spots on the cliff seemed less positive.....

no one else was on the wall when we were....i love the wilderness in the wilderness.....we saw some people top out...

 

didnt see larry on sat evening in the parking lot...kinda missed not being detained and interrogated after climbing....

Student wall is trad... Basalt. Seems nice, although I'm no expert. J would be stoked to have someone to climb trad with [big Grin] I'm not sure what days... will post closer to the weekend on climbing partners. [big Grin][big Grin]

Aside from the Student Wall, Smith has some great basalt cracks. The (Crooked River) Gorge is full of AWESOME trad opportunities. If you can lead harder trad routes (>5.9) then you will love the Gorge. There are some classic multipitch cracks in the welded tuff though they aren't quite as aesthetically pleasing as the cracks in the gorge. However many of the topouts of the multipitch cracks have aboslutely wonderful views that make the journey (and quite possibly the wait in line) completely worth it.

I think we got out of there before that car crash, we were probably eating asparagus in salsa [Cool] by then.

You're so cool Dru. I think we smoke about 15 bowls and waited 2 hours for some gal to lead a 100 foot pitch. Then dropped our ropes down for locals too scared to lead the last pitch of Diedre and while looking at NW passage heard the crash.
