No one's mentioned it yet, so I'll add to the information here. The two blocks that came out formed the Chilkoot Pass finish to Northern Light, with the large belay ledge between the pitches serving as a launch ramp for the upper block.

With cunning and a long enough cheater stick anything is possible. I haven't been on the route, but I imagine you could back-aid the roofs on bolts; if you're looking for company and tech support, I could go on an obscursion later this month.

Remember MEC's book purge a few years back? Sure you do: black column of smoke rising from the rooftop parking lot of the Broadway store, charred wraiths of pages consumed by worms of ember as they tumbled heavenward, spittle from the mouths of barking fanatics that sizzled on the pavement...

And while Plato presents this as a matter of personal improvement and discipline, I think...

Hey everybody, I figured this was the most logical place for this post. I'm a climber from Vancouver who just got posted to the Haig Fire Base in Hope for the summer. I'm looking for two things: - Partners for cragging and bouldering around Hope early in the season, and alpine rock later on (I'll be...

I'm looking for someone in Vancouver to train with for long free climbs in Squamish and Index (Freeway, U-Wall, etc.) and alpine rock routes in the Cascades (Slesse et al.) I have a weekends-only schedule, so I'm particularly interested in an approach designed to maximize the 48-hour window. Also in...
