Alena Dzujkova very generously lent her Epson 8350 projector for us to use at the October Social Meeting. I have since heard back from several members that the quality of the image was significantly b...
yes, I understand... and you're right, we should be posting the new executive on-line. Here it is for now...

Sorry that you couldn't make it, Scott. Nice to see you so active and keen on participating.
Have you thought of joining the executive? There are some unfilled positions open to any "Active" member.

The goal of raising $50,000 was reached by June 2013. Construction is scheduled for fall 2013!!!
Barring unanticipated cost overruns, we now have the funds to build a toilet at Vantage and the Dep...

We actually don't have much information on how the accident happened as Oudi doesn't remember much of the accident. Maybe later.

Have you heard that all BCMC members need to sign a new waiver starting on Sept 15? Is anyone confused or unsure about the new BCMC waiver to come into effect next Sunday? You don't need to do anythin...
For those of you who know Oudi from trips or other activities at the BCMC, you should be aware that Oudi was one of the 3 Canadian climbers involved in the September 1, 2013 accident on the Emmons Gla...
Went up to Mt Ossa Sept 7-8. The trail is in GREAT shape with the new bridge replaced last year providing easy crossing of Sigurd Creek. A big Thank You to Paul Kubik and crew for all the work that ha...
Hi Paul,
Good question. It appears that several members have good ideas and concepts but perhaps don't have the time to organize an actual project. The proposal I received from you is the first reque...
Hi everyone,
yes, these questions were all looked at carefully, and I'm glad that you're asking. Are we getting into the guiding business? Hardly so... these are some of the points that were consider...
Thanks Michael.
To clear-up any confusion, I stated what I believe are 3 elements essential for the executive to consider when reviewing any project proposal. I did not provide my assessment of wheth...
Hi Monika,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this topic. As I have already explained to Michael, I believe that the entire executive is supportive of the concept of writing a club h...
Secret Society mentality? There may be some of that left in the club, but I know that we have been trying to change that in past 2-3 years (probably longer?). All minutes of the executive meetings are...
My understanding from a brief discussion with David Scanlon is that the North Creek IPP project has been cancelled altogether. Please contact David directly for more information as David prefers not t...
We went to the Richmond oval on May 13 and were impressed with the facility. The rock climbing wall is smaller than at Cliffhanger Vancouver, but it's not very busy and there are no lead climbing clos...
We are seeking a few volunteers to join our Membership team to assist in the day-to-day tasks of running our membership efforts. The main tasks involve

If my posting wasn't clear enough, let me try again. I'm suggesting that we hire the technical help that we need instead of doing it on a shoestring, where Paul ended-up doing pretty much all the work...
Hi Adi,
I agree with your view that the Club's website is already a major improvement, a big thanks to Paul. In retrospect, it's now clear that this was much too large of an undertaking for a single...
Went for the weekend to Vantage in Washington State. All went well and had some great climbing despite the near-hurricane force winds on Saturday. Lots of bent and broken tent poles all around. Sunday...
Hi Werner, a couple of years ago you had some neat videos of climbing walls under bridges in several locations in Europe -- some of them multi-pitch? It looked really neat. It would be great if we can...
Paul, I want to echo that your work is appreciated. It's a tough spot for Lee, Bill, and especially you to be dealing with all the requests plus all the enhancements that people like me keep bringing...
