If there was undue risk to complete the FA ground up, sure we'd rap in, clean, bolt where needed, ect. But, when there is no need for that why not do it in a better style. Right.

We will still have fun. I've had a great time in Squamish. Long routes, short routes, bouldering. I'm sharing a tent sight with a Slovenian guy who climbs 8b+, he's been refining my technique and I've been teaching him how to trad climb. It's been great meeting other climbers. Nearly onsighted my first .11 on gear. Monday is the last day, I really hope I send it. I could stay here for a few more weeks, easy! Pix to come.

Played lumberjack and cleaed fallen trees, played stone mason/excavator and improved a 20m section accross the access ledge to make the portion safe (death fall if you slipped). Finally got on the climb, massive thunderstorm, quick retreat. Had to lower out my partner so the ropes wouldn't get blown into a tangled mess, then rapped myself. Rain jacked was left by acciden on a tree at the base of the route... I was soaked. Sunday, house work then drove out to meet a couple buddies on their way down an easy (but long day) alpine-ish peak. I was even going to pack in some extra water and beer for them, but their jeep wasn't in the parking lot... they had their oun delays with car trouble. Ran into them on the drive out. Decided to go do an easy scramble, but found out I was still dehydrated from Saturday despite drinking 4.5L of water Saturday... I found out when I got a MASSIVE leg cramp. That hurt, landing on my side hurt too. Damn thing cramped so fast it literally tossed me to the side. Hiking down hurt more. That about sums it up.

Speaking of which....it looks like I'm headed down to the glen today with a girl from RC.com if there's anyway you can make it down there today Kelly. Now that it's cooling down we're going to have to make an effort to get there a bit more I guess.
I agree, once a week jaunts to the glen are in order.

No. You would think that, but my workstation is super ergonomic. I have a cyst that needs removin. It came about back in December and still hasn't quite healed. I'm sick of the constant draining, and the cutter agrees with me that this should have been taken out well before now. I think it is time for a new primary care physician. On your hand? Elsewhere.
