well, i am in squamish BC. the drive from minnesota was pleasantly uneventful, no flats, speeding tickets or accidents. today i tried unsuccessfully to climb "alaska highway" with a guy i met at the pub last night. his name is Connie and he is actually an internationally certified mountain guide. i am kicking myself for not bringing my camera on this ridiculously steep and exposed climb. the 5.11d pitch had awkward stemming and offwidth dihedral moves that i could not on-site. we are planning on going back to redpoint the route. the picture shows part of the second pitch that follows the double cracks out the massive roof.
