Nicole and I closed up the shop at 6:00pm. Quickly sorted the rack and gathered provisions for the coming adventure, then ventured forth towards a pending adventure.
The goal: Climb The Angel’s Crest, a glorious adventure up the northern arete of the second peak of the Stawamus Chief. I had climbed this route a couple months back, but I was keen to get a chance to lead some of the pitches Dan led last time.
After catching the last ferry out of Victoria, and stopping briefly in Vancouver, we arrived at the trailhead on the logging road sometime beyond midnight. We were eager. We wanted to be early, and neither of us wanted to wait in lines. We wanted to be first on route, so we slept in the car, awoke before dawn, and an amazing day ensued.
What followed was one of the best days of rock climbing I have ever experienced! The weather was perfect, the rock was impeccable. It was one of those days when our cheeks hurt from the perma-grins we wore all day. If there was one word to describe it, it would have to be this: Elation.
After quickly sorting the rack, and opting to leave behind a second rope in favour of a bigger rack (we decided there was no WAY we were going to bail today, we were going to top out), we began the hike up the trail at about 6:30am. It took us about 15 minutes of walking through the forest floor to get to the base of the first pitch, a low 5th bushy, rooty, scramble. This brought us to a ledge and the beginning of the climb proper. Nicole took the sharp end and led this 5.7 groove which involves tree climbing and offers big gear and a piton. This brought us to the lower cruxes. A glorious 5.10b finger crack (the famed Angel Crack), which I led with much glee, and a short but solid 10c pitch. Some 5.7 climbing takes us up to the base of another steep 5.10a that begins with face climbing and leads into a glorious small finger crack high above the forest floor. The exposure really began in earnest at this point!
After giving Nicole back the rack on this gloriously small ledge-with-a-view, she led the next pitch. The guidebook says 5.5, but I'd give it 5.7. This took us to the halfway point: A narrow shelf between the expanse of Squamish and the north gully. The next pitch, pitch 8, ran at about 5.10a. It offered a good mix of face climbing and involved a committing step up onto a slabby arete and a narrow crack up to a lovely groove which I giddily climbed with a huge grin on my face. At this point this day is getting too good to be true.
This brought us to the Sasquatch Ledge. A narrow, vegetated ledge that runs across the top of the Sheriff's Badge. As we still had not been caught up to by other parties, and had some time, we belayed each other out onto it... The exposure here is massive, but dampened by the massive amount of bushes. Onward we went...
The next pitch ran at 5.9 and was another nice little corner finger crack into some face climbing to deposit us in the hanging forest. Here we coiled the rope and gathered our stuff for a five minute walk/scramble up to the base of the aptly named Acrophobes Towers. Halfway up this forest, there is a totem pole. The story of how it got here is really neat to read, and it can be found *HERE*. We snapped some photos, marveled at the sight, and the logisitics of hauling this thing up here, and carried on...
When we saw the Acrophobes, we were in awe. These gigantic teeth-like spires shoot up out of the ridge like knife blades, and the exposure is immense! On the left, a huge drop into the gully. On the right, an even bigger drop way down to the valley below.
We ate lunch here, talked for a while, smiled and laughed, and eventually decided that I should grab the rack and lead the pitch. While the protection is sparse, the climbing is easy. And the position is nothing short of incredible! I think both Nicole and I took far longer than we needed to to climb this, and both of us laughed, grinned, and smiled our way through the traverse. A short rappell of the high tower, followed by a scamper through a notch, brought us to the base of pitch 11, a loose and exposed 5.8 that offeres both good and bad protection is a very airy setting. Rope drag was a big issue here, and in retrospect I will bring some massive slings net time to mitigate this. After bringing up Nicole, we looked back along the route, we could see a party down below on the top of the acrophobes. It looks far more exposed from above. Wow!
Next was a 5.7 that starts with another couple moves up a tree and in to a very large (BD #3) crack, that leads up to a hyper-exposed slabby arete that tops out at the most exposed belay ledge of the climb, a 30cm wide ledge on a vertical wall high above the valley floor. Fun!
Next came the crux. a 10b that feels move like a 10d the first time leading it. It was glorious! It involved pulling a bulge to start, then either a wide hand crack or shallow finger cracks that take you up to a roof. Pulling this move through the roof is spectacular! I looked at my feet mid move, and could see nothing but the treetops 700m below! After this move its a solid mix of laybacks and jams to the top of the pitch.
After this, we enjoyed the view for a bit from our last belay ledge, then crawled (!!!) the narrow and exposed ledge to the final chimney pitch. This was so fun to lead! Super easy but mega awkward. I laughed my way up the whole thing, as I used a variety of both graceful and grace-less techniques. But I did eventually top out, and let out a massive yell of glee upon doing so, then quickly set up belay to bring up Nicole. She arrived 10 minutes later, and a celebration ensued. We just climbed Angel's Crest! What a day!
All in all, we took our time, all 12 hours of it. Despite this, we still felt like we had the route to ourselves; the other parties always a ways behind. It was a spectacularly enjoyable day! We waled the last little bit to the main second summit, then down to a nice viewpoint. Here we smiled and laughed and talked of the greatness of the day. Sipped some summit whiskey, and made our way down, vowing we will return to climb more... and soon. :)

This rack (formerly for RS232 equipment) was tossed out by my employer. By my calculations, it appears to be Frac-rack compatible, or close enough to it. So, I guess some synth modules are going in there, once I get/build some modules.

I designed this rack on the fly to help us keep our dormant bulbs organised and dry. It's 2.4m (8') long, 0.6m (2') wide and 1.7m tall (5' 6"). It has a lightweight roof consisting of a single panel of clear corrugated PVC. A sheet of thin plastic can be rolled down during heavy/windy rains to keep water from splashing into the bottom two shelves.
As renters we have learnt to never build anything that can't be taken apart easily. Nothing custom built can really be very easy to disassemble but we found that using Simpson ties makes the design straightforward. They are meant to be fastened with nails instead of screws, but by using these disassembly is much easier and the ties (and often screws) can be reused. We don't use high grade or treated lumber since we don't expect our structures to stay static for more than a few years at a time.

"Neil William Rackers is an American football placekicker for the Houston Texans of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He played college football at Illinois." [From Wikipedia]
I looked and looked for official spice racks that would be the right size to mount on the inside of my pantry closet door--specifically, wide enough to attach where the door panels weren't indented.
Beach-found, driftwood rack made in 2006. I shot this in Oct 2006. It's the east wall of my bedroom. The sun was setting and projecting thru the window on the west wall, framing my packs nicely.
I nearly always carry a pack. Probably not too sophisticated, but I guess I'm too old to know better. (But I am young enough that NONE of them have wheels!) This is only a portion of my inadvertent lifelong collection of packs and cargo bags, but these have been frequent friends, in one function or another. They've each got a zillion stories to tell about backpacking, hiking, mtn biking, lust, longing, solitude, sweat, trips to the market, traveling, kids, and more.
I found this wonderful 9 ft scruffy red board that had washed up on the beach. I had a long piece of bamboo I'd also found at the beach. I got this "rack" idea as a way to honor some of my packs and decorate my wall. The bamboo pegs are progressive: smallest on the left, thickest on the right. Also, the smaller ones are spaced a tad closer (getting progressively further apart as they get larger) for a nice optical balance.
BTW...it's not an optical illusion -- the ceiling really slopes. It's a cool, one-of-a-kind house with some wacky details, such as every room has a ceiling at a different (and varying) height. Very fun.
