Wacky way to solve the high bolt issue, hah. JSodden, go ahead and get rid of that chain by whatever relevant means are necessary. I give you my blessing...

Cruising To Infinity?

Looks rad

The spookiness is the fact that the third block sits unsupported and vibrating in it's shallow puzzle-like cradle and to climb into the corner you have to pull and step on that same block. It's not a question of gear, there's gear up the corner that can be placed hanging onto the first block. The sp...

Hey Squamish, haven't been up on Grand in a long while until yesterday. I noticed as we climbed the Sword that the second face crack block is gone, leaving behind a large square trough. There are impact marks all the way down past the Flake and Mercy Me, and the final block on the sword is now left ...

Hey Squamish climbers, there's a new Yosemite Big Walls and Long routes book in the works right now from some lads down there in Cali. They're trying to fund raise through pre orders so they ahve enough dough to do a print run. They have an eBook already available. Take a look here: http://www.yosem...

Climbed Angel's Crest a few days ago and noticed a hornet nest under the rocks at the base of the 5.9 pitch off the nice flat rest ledge where you can bail into the gulley to retreat. Not a big one but there. ALso, after rapping the Acrophobe towers and climbing to the notch where the bolt and fixed...

Room on Fire, Breathless, Paris Hilton, Teddy Bear's Picnic, Gravity Bong, The Titan, Down On The Brown, Men Holding Hands, Brothers At Arms, Pan's Labyrinth....and the beat goes on

To the Members of the Grand Wall Bouldering Co-op--- This Sunday, Nov. 4th, is the scrubbing, cleaning, resetting, fixing, tweeking and repairing day for our gym. As is usually the case, the day is a long one and getting many able bodies to help is key. Meet at the co-op around 9am unless otherwise ...

I concur. With some overhung reds and golds a la the Rostrum in Yosemite, this line is a gem that needs polishing. Gets cleaner the higher you go and the wideness mentioned above is not mandatory grunting but can be laybacked or face climbed around. A 4, 5 and 6 make this route a plush experience. G...

Anyone know anything about the bolted line up the dike covered slab right of the Roman Chims? It angles rightwards following a dike up into the large open concave slab 50 meters or so right of RC's. Very curious. Jer Blumel

Is this the famous BK, Bruce Kay? Good lord Man, what a radical bit of spring cleaning that was, thanks a heap Dood, wow! Did you take a look at the big loose flake at the belay at the base of Bird's Of Prey's crux corner pitch? I've heard, as of last fall, that it had slid and was teetering against...

Do you mean the gold corners across from the end of Angel's Crest? The corner on the right has been climbed, North Star, but the left has anchors(unknown) and might be a bolted stemming corner? Not sure if I'm thinking of the right place though. Jer Blumel

The race rappel route this past spring was over and down the Penthouse crag on the 1st summit to the ledge system that angles down to the Roman Chimneys top out and the Shelter Crag. They then traversed out that ledge back to the 1st summit trail and on down. Definitely more exposed than most of the...

Nice work Little Elfin Ben. I'm not sold on the subject of renaming the route though. Takes most of the credit away form Jordan Wright, who first freed the route in the first place. The line isn't any different, just more difficult. Good work though. Jer

Hey Squamish, new route at the Solarium on the Backside of the Chief. "Paris Hilton" is a sexy sleek 35 meter 12a crack that flaunts jams from techy thin laybacking and stemming to overhanging fingers to fists. 10 or so meters right of Last Will and Testicle is where Paris resides. Scurry Squamish S...
