Climb Eastern Canada

by **Fred** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 12:08 pm

well... since Mitch released his new "x-img" website I figured I'd go ahead and do the same and release my http://www.beta-source.com website. Keep in mind that it is still very preliminary. I've got tons of great ideas but just not enough time to work on them. It's a work in progress.

sweet site Fred! Great Job!

by **Fred** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 5:40 pm

thx Chris. Hopefully it will only get better with time.

I just added a bunch of photos. Check out "recent" photos link. This will be the area where I post new photos. Unless I have enough for a full set like Les Chutes Mt Morancy which will be coming up. Then I'll add a note that a new set was added.

enjoy

I updated the site tonight with some photos from my ice climbing trip to Quebec at xmas (Pont Rouge and Chutes Momo). There is also a new video up edited by Jeff Hum.

Put up a few more photos of our trip to Festiglace (under Pont Rouge photos)

Finaly updated. I've added photos to Verdon and Les Calanques. There is much more to come. Those photo sets are probably the worst ones so don't expect much. It's difficult to take rope climbing photos with two people. :lol:

I'm also working on the beta to all these locations. However, I'm trying to make a submit form that will allow readers to add links and their two cents beta to these areas. That is why I have no beta showing as of yet.

I'm also planning to do a similar submit form for new routes in Welsford and Greenlaw.

I forgot to mention.

Funny story about Verdon. You'll notice there aren't any climbing photos. Don't ask why. hehe

We got out of the car, looked over the railing, looked at each other and started laughing histaricaly, then got in the car and drove off. Instant Vertigo! We've both done tons of multi-pitch and we were both certain we could do Verdon (It's bolted after all right?!) but that wasn't the case. Yeah Yeah laugh it up but untill you've been there you can't say much. It's not like anything else you've done because for this crag you show up at the top of a 1000ft VERTICAL cliff (no progression) and have to rap in. The intimidating part is that you HAVE to make it back out. There is a trail out of the gorge but you may die of thirst and get picked by vultures if you run out of water. LOL I tell you, it realy isn't like starting a multi-pitch from the ground. It's very intimidating so consider that if you ever plan a trip to Verdon. The photos don't do justice to the void below. It's an amazing place and I'd love to go there more prepared some day and give it a go. It's NOT a sport crag even though it's bolted. I read countless articles about the intimidation of Verdon and how it even got to the most experienced of climbers. They were right.

has anyone else experienced problems seeing the "what's new" pop up menu on my website? It should show latest updates dated 2005.04.12

by **Fred** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:32 pm

I added more photos tonight. Ceuse and Fontainebleau. Enjoy!

)

Beta-Source.com has been updated. Check out the new vid by Derick Smith and John Lodge (Spring Cleaning). It's pretty funny. Nice work guys.

by **thicks** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:01 am

Where is Spring Cleaning? And great video by the way, loved the time elapsed shot.

Tyler,

we'd tell you, but we'd have to kill you.

by **Fred** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:29 am

it's in Welsford apparently. John and Derick have been finding bouldering in NB left right and center.

by **Fred** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 8:19 am

it was a long time in the making but after 1.5 years of work the video for our trip to Kentucky has finaly been released. Actually it only took 2 nights to make the vid and 1.5 years to get to it. We are 1/2 ass remember... Let me know what you think.

As I watched this for the first time with my girlfriend, she couldn't help but notice how the actor playing my part is totally gross. Good thing I didn't show this to her a month ago.

Good work, I like the tunes. THe driving scene worked pretty good.

I like the thight cinetomagrophy on ro-shampo :wink:

by **Fred** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 7:02 pm

man I had so much good footage of Ro-Shampo but couldn't squeeze it into the song.

my fav shot by far is the slow motion clip of Hummer on that 5.10 shooting from the top down. Blends nicely with the music too right when the beat slows down :wink:

by **Fred** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 7:49 am

yet another short vid uploaded last night

check out "Yakuza" in the UNB Woodlot with Rock Star Louis-Philippe Basque who was down from Ottawa.

by **jeremy** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 3:34 pm

Nice vid, keep them coming. Ahhh the woodlot, if only it was a little larger in size.

PS Your tick marks are kinda big, tisk tisk...... :wink:

those aren't tick marks. They are slurpy chalk puddles. The thing was so wet I don't understand how Louis was sticking those holds.

by **Fred** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 10:07 pm

I updated my site. Check out the RECENT photos. There's one decent photo of Zig on Orange Crush that I like quite a bit.

by **Fred** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 7:30 am

added 4 more photos in the "Recent" photos. Sorry but they are all mixed in with the rest. 4 shots of John Bowles (2 in Bar Harbour and 2 in Clifton)

enjoy

nice picts fred! bartlebees and old town look stellar... John, you handsome devel you. Either of you guys planning on going back to cape clear this year? Fred, You can see why it was impossible to pull john's rope in one of your pictures.

by **Fred** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 10:29 am

I like the pic of John on Old Town as well. I was a little disapointed of the Eagles Gift pics. It was in the middle of the day so the light is harsh and there are lots shadows.

Yeah, John sends me off in a downpoor to fetch his rope when he knows he tied it around a tree. Nice guy eh. LOL

I'd like to go back to Cape Clear to finish "Anihilator" but unless I get corporate funding I don't know if that will happen anytime soon.
