It’s almost a mental game. You real- ly have to be on the ball, especially if you’re lead climbing and placing the protection, you have to be concentrating on what you’re doing.” When. asked the all too obvious question of fear, Mack does not deny ever having) the shakes during a climb. | “That’s nerves, we call it ‘sewing machine leg’. When that happens I just stop and meditate for a while. “The saying I live by is, ‘fear is ‘the mind killer’,” he laughed. “If you let fear get'fo you that’s it, you’ll fall.” “Mack has climbed in Oregon, Washington, throughout California, Yosemite, Idaho, Baja Mexico, B.C.’s central interior, local rocks and Squamish. “Squamish is considered by many to be Canada’s premiere climbing area.” Starting out basically self taught for the first year, he and a friend climbed rocks near west Vancouver in their running shoes. “T then took a two-weekend course in Levonworth.” According to Bert Port of the Kootenay Moun- taineering Club, “‘You’d have to go back to the 19th century when thinking about people climbing on rocks. “People used to and still do train for big mountain routes, on the lower altitude rocks. “A new facet has developed within the last five or six years, known as sport climbing,” he added. “It’s very specialized.” However, Mack claims, “I consider myself to be more of a traditional, ‘crag climber’. “Sport climbing is something sort of new. It involves extremely hard routes on which several days can be spent working out the moves until it can be done completely.” Collen, who has been climbing with Mack for about a year and a half, said his interest in climbing was sort of a general progression which resulted from overcrowded ski slopes and a craving to try some- thing new. He also has a general interest in moun- taineering. “It’s a personal challenge, both physical and men- tal,” said Collen. “I got started through a course down in Vancouver with the Federation of Mountain Clubs. Collen has been climbing for seven years. “I do strongly advise anyone starting out to take a course or go with an experienced person—you can’t afford to make a mistake.”
