LOL, the fact that you asked the question implies the answer doesn't it...

Sounds like a good route, nice work Colin and crew.

Sounds like pitch 7. I guess if you fell towards the top of the pitch there would be several ledges and corners to fall onto/into. Could be made much more harrowing if you fell a ways for some reason or another. Good rescue for SAR and best wishes for a swift recovery on the part of the injured clim...

Agree the left facing bit is great. I think cruxy right away and then casual to the top with good gear the whole way up. Nice angled slab corner work. Fun and pretty quick to do. P

yeah, I did the direct finish due to lack of guidebook/common sense as well. I blame the guidebook author however... Slandering aside, I thought hard 10d or 11a, and a bit away from the last bolt as well. About the limit of what I find fun for slab climbing. I climbed the route a few years ago and g...

Good work Anders. Question, where is the start to Granville st? Is is up a thin dyke section directly under the tree gully (trend L then hard right?) or start further L and then go up and R across to the gully. Reason I ask, I was doing Banana Peel to Granville St to Ultimate E a few years ago and d...

Re: Brunser overhang

now has a two bolt anchor in decent rock. Needs a long anchor setup to extend over the lip for a TR.

Yay, the anchor gods are listening...

Funny, I was just thinking about Just Blessed. Haven't tried it, but checked it out. Looks great and crux at the top? Even Stephen has some pretty stellar rests, but the climbing is hard and has a couple of different cruxes. Mr O Clock is pretty hard for 10d, the gear on the first half of the route ...

I second Milkrun. I seconded that years ago with Dan the Republican and was so pumped I couldn't move my leg for a few minutes then had to clean a piece on the rap down which was a sling with a binner jammed in the crack (he didn't listen when I suggested we bring at least triples in the off fingers...

Agree with No Picnic. Also suggest The White Spider by Harrer. About the first ascent of the N face of the Eiger.

Awesome is right. This is really nice stewardship of our resources, I like the keeping of the same style when rebolting, but obviously this needs to happen. When the bolts went in years ago, the intent wasn't to put junk in that would fail when you fell on it (in this case due to aging and presumabl...

Meh. Art shmart.

But major props for climbing the pillar with no shoes, that would hurt...

P

Wow, not sure what to think here.

If he is distancing himself from these routes, then he should have no interest in them going forward as to bolting - unless this really is a pique.

Hope not. We should be working together not at odd with each other.

P

Also noticed the odd wording on the note. Only thing we though of is that usually bolt and hanger are synonymous, though you would think that in this case the note writer would be more specific...

We (Matty and I) were at Murrin on Sunday, found a hanger/washer/nut at Bog wall in the AM (left it there, wasn't for the top anchors there). Went to pet and played around and heard from other climbers (some nice Brits) that there was a missing hanger. Went back to bog wall and picked up said hardwa...

Squamish grades are soft. Anyone who has ever climbed in the valley and had their a$% handed to them on a climb that they figured they should be able to do cuz they climb at the same grade in Squamish understands this. Oh yeah. Totally soft. I've never been so beat down in my life than the two week...
