I wonder if public school students being recently let out for the summer has anything at all to do with this? Too bad time-stamped photos were not taken of all vehicles entering and leaving the road...
Good point... you can add it to the Gear Section in the Forum and see what happens. Before I spend many hours working on such an add-on feature, I'd like to know how many members are interested in ha...
I think it's a great idea for those that wish to see the trail beforehand *and* for those that can't take some trails but would still like to enjoy the visual experience. As for those that don't want...
Not this year. Your best bet is to use the MEC Gear Swap where the much higher traffic volume will provide a much better chance of finding what you want or selling something you no longer need.
If you're looking for an "easy" trail race, i.e. fairly flat course, then consider the 2013 Rubber Ducky Half Marathon, & Miler & 5K that uses the 10km trail around Burnaby Lake. I've run the race a...
Very good article. I must admit that I needed to read it as I had lost the fine art of jumping to soften a lead-on-bolts fall. But then I almost exclusively lead-belay trad climbers ;-)

Lately I've been trying a two week sign up "window" for my outdoor climbing trips to the Squamish area. For trips requiring more planning and preparation I'd use a much larger sign up "window", such...
I added a new Trip category for you guys and gals that love to run in the mountains called: Mountain Running.
Those with Trip Organizer status can put one up on the Events Schedule :-)

I've updated the website to include a place for each member to store their Emergency Contact Information for Trips and Courses. The info is stored in the Private Info area of your account and will *O...
My understanding is the General Fund currently has over $85,000 in it. Surely the club can afford to pay the $3500 fee for the initial work of the History Project (from 1884 to 1908). Then, after se...
The member Trip Reports section as been moved to a new location on the website. You can find it with the new menu link that has been added at Events - Trips - Courses > Trip Reports. Currently only...
The club has a very long history and as part of our membership fee I think we should all have access to quality-written information to read about the many interesting details of it. Since that's my o...
I've added some information about the recent BCMC History Proposal, including a link to the formal proposal (PDF), on the Club Business webpage. Please read the formal proposal before adding your comm...
PaulK, please try with the latest version of FireFox and/or Chrome browser that will run on XP. A few people with the older XP-IE8 computers have had some problems with a few features on the club web...
Sorry for the late reply... I was outdoors Fri/Sat/Sun. I plan to revamp how trip reports are added and displayed on the website. The new method will track views. I will need some help testing it o...
The Squamish Mountain Festival (2013) is a five-day celebration of all things rock. SQUMF unites international with home-grown participants and appreciators of climbing culture. For sticky fingers...
Francis, I've traded emails with Adi earlier and plan to discuss many of the website issues over the phone so he has a better idea of what has happened thus far. As for Alan, when I talked to him on...
Adi, as friends I'd preferred you'd phoned me to get some facts before posting here but done is done. Francis' response to your post is, in my view, a bit misleading. After reading it you might thin...
Alan, I'm not going to discuss the technical details of site development on the "Website Feedback" forum. Please contact me directly though the club's webmaster@bcmc.ca account and join the next web...
Maybe ask the local Squamish campgrounds how much it would cost to have such a trailer placed on their property for the summer (or year round). The idea being that BCMC members could use it as a memb...
I enjoyed watching the movie "North Face" (aka "Nordwand")... www.rottentomatoes.com/m/north_face/
I found this interesting photo titled "Cosmonaut Looks Down On Everest" at http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/10/15827650-cosmonaut-looks-down-on-everest?chromedomain=cosmiclog&lite
Alena,
It's common knowledge in the tech community that Gmail is very aggressive when filtering email for potential SPAM. Some say they're too aggressive, but most people are so fed up with all the...
