haha cool tr & funny story, i have never aid climbed & generally keep the doobs/climbing
combo restricted to bouldering or my garage woody (no dope on a rope!), but it seems that
for an aid/wall climb adventure like that it would have been essential
(easier to suffer when ur bAkEd)!! Way to make the most of Squamish winter!

Excessively Detailed Account
Whatever some members of the peanut gallery may say, there's no such thing as an excessively detailed account.
And aren't you glad you didn't have to try to fit in a portaledge with Big Mike?

hahahaha you are funny. Typically in the winter you are correct, but I seem to recall joining you in the bulletheads recently :)
I'm gonna need a big ledge for sure. Can I fit in a ledge? Well, I can fit in the back of a Tacoma uncomfortably, so i'm sure it will be very similar.
Funny thing about snow.. I like to play in it too much and not curse it because i'm trying to climb something :)

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. Yeah, the FISH double is a bit on the small side, but it is one burly-ass solid ledge, virtually indestructible.
So ..... um ......
Have you ever thought {cough} what a prospective employer might think when he reads your blog? You know they all do that these days, right?
While you are among friends here, it ain't the same out there in the real world, eh?

If some one doesn't want to hire me because I smoke pot and play in the great outdoors, that is absolutely fine by me. I don't want to work for anyone like that, nope, not even.
Glad you guys like the write up, I wasn't gonna make one but big mike convinced me too.

Definitely the right attitude. If the boss doesn't want you, you likely won't want that boss.
In the sanity department, though, your choice of climb and season are questionable.
And is Fish Boy going incognito to escape his past?
Nice TR with several points of interest.
