Me, caught in the act of welding, just want to show some photoshop work to the critique group.

How not to skydive, from The Vancouver Sun.

This is the smaller version of petzl's knife, retail for about $25 CAD. This shot demonstrates how easily it cuts through 8mil cordlette, with only two strokes.

This was the first climb of the first day we were in Squamish. Having sorted my gear and packed early in the morning, my rope turned out to be a big, knotted, mess. Took about 15 mins to get sorted out. In that time, we met up with a nice guy, do beleive his name was Rob, or something like that. If you are on this site, and remember climbing with three people from a Climbing gym in Maple Ridge, give me a shout!

Late in the day, I was tired, and looked for a belay spot in the shade and stumbled upon a photo oppertunity. That is Brandon, climbing Trixie, a 5.10 on top rope. Photo taken by Cam Tardi. (Belaying with one hand, snapping with the other ;) )

This is my first ever sport lead, on a short, 5.10c crack/slab climb. It is a total of twenty feet, just below Neat and Cool. I got the first three clips, and fell shortly before top out. Did not get a second attempt. Photo taken by Terry Spurrell

Me doing a little bit of bouldering in Maui at the lavaflows near Ka'annapali. It is both illigal and extreemly sharp rock. Went and did a couple V0 ish problems, as I had a bit of time to spare. If you are going to do the same, wear old shoes, don't have to be climbing shoes, because the rock will cut them.

Where I spend all my time, and make all of my cool stuff. Tell me what you think.

'Ol silver was out of date, and stopped working. Traded up for this bad boy.
