Did Pete fart on your pillow out in Hawaii? He’s always doing that, what an ass…..

Sorry you ran into some lame-o people out there, I hope I didn’t steer you guys wrong. Its a sad fact that those who have much, take sooo much for granted too, but karma’s a bitch… Its sounds like you guys at least enjoyed the sun and surf.

Namaste

Oh smack, HILARIOUS! It’s funny ’cause it’s true, I hate those old hexes. Top-rope, all the way. Did you see the length of that guys arms? Reminds me of John Stack. And yes, one day, I really will be in a BD catalog, and then my life will be complete and I can die happy.

Rio, that’s exactly what I thought, Classic:)

Sonnie,
I totally understand that you couldn’t say the words “I am the spirit of Squamish” but don’t you regret a tiny bit not doing it? The videos may be super-corny but they seem well made and look kinda neat at the same time. I don’t understand why they didn’t ask a selection of Squamish climbers for the climbing video; some older guys that have been around for a while and have written some guide books or so and then some younger kids and perhaps some people that only just moved or are visiting Squamish, but are enjoying the very same classic routes that everyone climbs like Exasperator, or High Mountain Woody or so many more. I know I’m gonna show the videos to my little brothers that will come over this summer to visit Canada for the first time and they will ask me: where are Sonnie, Sean and Will?

That whispered “spirit of Squamish” thing at the end of the rock climbing video made me want to gouge my eyes out. Or my ears. You’re right, the videos are incredibly corny.

Nice videos…i like the overall approach they took (calm, relaxed, revitalizing). Can’t wait to visit again!

as for surfer issues in hawaii…your ’starbucks’ analogy reminds me of what i’ve encountered in Vancouver when i meet people from the east and i tell them i’m also from out east and just visiting.

that whole…i can move to the ‘cool west coast’ but you can’t garbage exists in vancouver huge.

hey sonnie, sorry you ran into some of those grumps in hawaii who try to front some bullshit localism. I lived out there for a year and saw it everywhere. I think some of it comes out of surfing though, where surfers are in real competition for waves with each other, and this has created a poisonous vibe in a lot of places. Let’s hope it never happens to climbing! Regardless, hawaii is an amazing place and the majority of people there live with real aloha.
