Squamish Climbers Festival Part 2..



The good times keep rolling, I went with Dave, and Tom, to see yet another collection of great films at the festival. The guest speaker was Ed Cooper, who did the first ascent of the grand wall on the Squamish Chief. It was one of the most prolific ascents of all time and put Squamish on the map as the best climbing area in BC. Some of the photoes that he showed were from his personal collection, and had never been seen before. It was great to hear of his other accomplishments that he has done in his life. I went climbing with Dave, on sunday and we had a great day in the Smoke Bluffs. We climbed a couple of routes at Ronins Corner one that was 510b we climbed it on toprope. It was fun but there wasn't much to hold onto slab climbing at it's best. Dave tried it first, and then I tried it and made it to the top it was awesome.. After that it was to the Brew Pub for a great steak dinner. A great end to another great outing with Dave..
