Hi everyone,
I've posted the October minutes to the to the BCMC website. Note that the hut finances were not a topic of discussion at the November meeting because the expectation is that final fi...
Absolutely! Go ahead and organize them.
It's been a while, but a few years ago I organized a good handful of mountain biking trips. Mostly just Burnaby Mountain & Squamish single track trips, but p...
Hi Adrian,
That is indeed a very valid question, and there are many members of the club like myself who (almost) never stay in huts. However, I think that something worth pointing out here is that t...
Michael is also an honourary member of both this club (BCMC) and the ACC for his vast contributions to the climbing and conservation communities over the past 30-40 years and aside from a few short te...
One other point to correct because you suggest that some legal obligation was ignored... all members were notified of the AGM by a mass email sent out to all members on Nov 4 with the subject line "No...
Hi Werner,
There's only one point I want to respond to here, and just because it's a serious allegation, and that's the point around the amount of membership revenue in the financial statements. ...
Hi everyone,
(Disclaimer: I am the current BCMC secretary)
Regarding Werner's point about publishing the executive meetings and AGM, I'm in favour of doing that, and fully expect them to be publi...
Posting on behalf of Leah Cooper:
Hello I am looking to purchase out dated/pre-used climbing ropes to use in art projects. I am happy to sign any waivers stating they will NOT be used for climbing...
Do you know if the new gate has gone in yet?
As of May 10 there was no gate on the route indicated in the map above (approaching from the entrance at the top of the hill just past Furry Creek)
For the past many years the gate at the top of the hill has been open, and was still open as of two weekends ago.
A friend of mine talked to someone at the Squamish Forest Office and they said tha...
The winter route I've heard of is roughly in line with the red line on this map (very schematic line). Dave Scanlon has told me before that he's approach via this route so would be a good person to c...
Dean's post shows the best route in in the summer. I haven't done it myself, but I know a few parties who've gone to the hut in the winter by ascending through the trees just above the clearcut shown...
Hi everyone,
Currently to become a trip organizer, the onus is on a member to seek approval from the climbing chair to be allowed to organize a trip. In order to do so, he/she is supposed to have...
I've done the higher West Summit before in Winter (not the regular hikers summit)... it wasn't particularly hard, just a long ways for a day with short daylight. That said, that route would be doable...
Jim and I led an intro to backcountry skiing course up Zoa Peak last Saturday (Jan 18). The snowpack in the Coquihalla is still very low, but the weather was great for views (warm, sunny, and clear)....
Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but thought that some of you would be interested in being aware. This thread on clubtread caught my eye earlier today: http://www.clubt...
I would support implementing a simple score like the one proposed. I think that most trip organizers have a personal list of people they've had reliability issues with, but it's impossible to know wh...
This is definitely something I'm interested in joining in with. I've had my eye on doing a quick traverse of the Fannin Range for the past couple years, and the alcoholic traverse is another fine ide...
