Hi Alex,

The rock season here has come to an abrupt end, I wanted to send these two routes to you before I forgot them.

Silver Harbour - the the right of #61 Van Shaiky
"Meeek Chimney" 7meters 5.6 Trad
Climb the chimney marked by the word "Meeek" spray painted at its base.
FA: B. Mitchell & A. Mason Fall 06

Pass Lake - between routes #13 and 14
"That's Why I Come Up Here" 7meters 5.7 Trad
To the right of the dogs wall climb the overhanging crack in the cave facing the main cliff.
FFA: R. Clack & B. Mitchell Fall 04

Neither one is worth writing home about. Thanks for the dedication to continuing this guidebook.

Peace,
Bill Mitchell

Scott

Hi there. My name is Andrea and I am Scott's cousin. Scott was adopted by my aunt and uncle Jim and Kay Fettes. I don't beleive Scott has sought after any information about his biological family. I'm fairly certain he was born in Canada though. And more info you can email me at andrea43@gmail.com

I never tried to claim the first ascent of this route. Further, I did not live in Thunder Bay in '95. I did however spend several days scrubbing the route and bolting the belays. Jody.
