Thanks for you comments and suggestions - keep them coming. I'll look further into the opening a link in a new tab or a new page. But my first thought was this was something you control on your own web browser in preferences. And on a Mac since the mouse does not have a right click button don't you ...

I climbed this on Sunday, August 1st -- We started the route around 3:45 pm and were at the top around 5:45. I was with an experienced leader so we travelled fairly fast. Like others have mentioned above, the harder moves are on the first three pitches and are well protected -- fun. And the elephant...

This does look like a good bypass to avoid the traffic jam at the bottom of the 10c. As well, a full-height climb up the Chief is now open to more climbers since the hardest move is 5.9. If anybody does it this weekend I wouldn't mind hearing what you think. Thanks Sonnie Ben and Lydia for the route...

True, it looks like you were sandbagging your own climbing level. Take a look at grade conversion chart in the articles section. (http://squamishclimbing.com/articles.php?&ID=1)
French 6b is 5.10d not 5.6.
Now your talking about some real climbing.

I don't know but I have a feeling that Squamish grades will feel a little soft compared to what you climb in England. I think a climb on the Apron called Banana Peel is well within yo...
