Essential Squamish beta

Coffee. Along with alcohol one of the five essential substances central to climbing. Now, there are options in Squamish, beginning with gas-station coffee (cheap), McDonalds (24/7 and not bad) but the question remains, where is the best coffee in Squamish? The answer: at the Adventure Center. Yes, t...

Dude runs rope directly over a piece of webbing tied between two bolts. Woman takes a massive screamer and gets majorl...

Re: Squamish SAR busiest in province

A shout-out to Squamish S.A.R.: when I had my accident on July 1, they were super fast and very professional (I was told SAR was on-site in 20 min). Perry Beckham, John Howe and the others, very good operation you guys are running, THANKS.

Re: Climbing destinations - need recommendations

Potrero is out-- serious security issues not in Potrero per se but in areas around it-- basically there is no law, period, and if the big-timers don't f**k with you the small-timers who enjoy the absence of cops will. Araps is awesome if you have the $$ for airfare. J-tree would top my list: you can...

Re: Simul Rapping

In my experience, two organised experienced people can save a bunch of time simulrapping, but only when a) you don't have to build belays/bail stations b) there is no need to slide the knot over the edge when starting a rappel c) you don't have Red-Rocks-style howling sideways winds d) you tie knots...

Re: Simul Climbing Fall Inhibitor

I've used this sytem tons and it works well. But it's for easy ground, not for sick hard stuff. a) the second does nto tie in-- the rope runs through a grigri. 20 m or so of slack trails the 2nd-- this keeps the Grigri upright and allows the rope to slide up/down the grigri as the speed of leader an...
