Re: Squamish to st. George
Where the heck is St George? I'm sure the OP means Prince George.

Re: new area at Murrin past Quercus
Just a reminder that the seemingly benign and beginner friendly Woodstock area can expose some nasty surprises, especially the newly scrubbed lines on the left end of the cliff. Here's a photo of a chunk of rock that a climber pulled from the S.D.S route. Fortunately it landed on a ledge before bonk...

Re: Crag just north of the radio tower in the Bluffs
I doubt Skunk Hollow would be a candidate "thin out the crowd" crag. Not with grading at the 11d/12b level.gotta funnel some of that traffic to lesser crags somehow ...

Re: Mank Patrol
The third bolt on Weak in July on The Crest is missing a hanger and nut. Although the climbing to the next complete bolt is easy there is decking potential if you slip before reaching it.

Re: New Trad crag "at" Murrin Park, Down amongst the Cedars
Had a chance to visit this new crag recently during one of our incredible hot summer evenings. Only got on two climbs with the best being the mixed route "The Day that Never Comes" rated at 5.9. I found it stiff for the grade and might opt for a 10a/b rating, especially in the bolted lower section w...

Re: new area at Murrin past Quercus
This is a great crag on a hot summer evening with a level and pleasant base area. We climbed the three left routes and the two right end routes (leaving the 12c for a I climb I will red-point in my dreams). I would grade them (left to right) as: 5.9, 10a (but mostly 5.9), 10b, 10c/d (but only throug...

Re: Lost belaying device at top of Apron
I found a Petzyl belay device and black Aliens locking carabiner on Tues evening (June 17). It was at the usual top-out for Banana Peel on Broadway.

Recommended approach to Star Chek
Marc Bourdon's new Squamish Select is très cool and stokes my climbing ambitions. However, I was troubled by the recommended approach to the popular Star Chek. The suggestion was to hike down to the top of the route and then rappel to the base. Although this may seem the most "efficient" way it's no...

Re: Skywalker, 5p, 5.8
It took me 9 months to unearth the climb. It certainly was time well spent to bring this beauty to the light of day. The line-ups at the base Sunday morning attest to the thirst for multi-pitch gear routes at the sweet spot 5.8 grade. P1 is nicely varied with the crux seemingly to be getting past t...

Be aware that this wall, especially the third pitches, can be very wet. On Sun Sep 13 the first pitch routes were dry, the second pitch AWOL traversed across a very wet section, and the third pitch routes were all soaked. However, as luck would have it, we met Jeff Thomson who was cleaning and bolti...

Climbed Europa July 11 and it certainly does not exhibit the typical solid Squamish granite we might be accustomed to. The wide chimney pitches 4 and 5 are somewhat chossy but easy climbing. Depending on your climbing style pitch 2 or pitch 3 may be the crux. However, it was the wild 9 bolt aid ladd...

A fine multi-pitch addition to Check with even better value than Charlotte's Web. Three totally different pitches with each progressing in grade from 5.8, 5.9, to 10a. The third pitch is a beauty, sustained at 10a through half its length. And the final rappel from the roof of "The Circus" wall is ai...
