What about chimp dip in the bulletheads? Looks hard. Who's done it?

I think it happened last summer in the middle of a busy long weekend. I had a friend at the base of peasants route who said it was basically terrifying to see. I've climbed the route once since then and found it spooky. The pitch is kind of dangerous now in my opinion and I'm surprised there hasn't ...

I found some gear last night (thursday June 5). If you can identify what I found, I'll get it back to you. There was a young family of 3 that may have left some stuff.

cheers

Anders, Thank you. Despite very public and fairly relentless criticism, you stood up for restraint and took the long term view. While the gondola project through the Parks has been approved, I applaud your efforts. More importantly, I applaud your willingness to come out of retirement (from land use...

I think you should do it Kris.

Anyone know Mike and Elaine from Squamish? They're both climbers and they have a young child together. I have lost Elaine's email address twice and I have a couple of things to return to her after a recent trip to the bugs.

If you have a contact for them could you PM me or something like that?
thanks

Did Mercurial Crossing a while back and thought it was really nice, technical, well protected face climbing. It's not a slab!!! This thing actually has holds and combined with Mercury Vapour, Pin up and the new connector into the finish of Centrefold makes a great 4-pitch outing. Hopefully more peop...

Well I've just come from a nice little after work session at Nightmare rock. I think the routes there are a good example of how YDS is applied in Squamish. First, there's Claim Jumper. It's a nice little .11d and is also mentioned as the best .10a finger crack in Squamish in something that I read so...

Did the gauntlet with the "chicken out" finish last week. This route has top notch and well protected corner and crack climbing. It's not easy but it sure is fun. It needs traffic to stay in climbable shape. Somebody else should go do it - like soon! Pitch one (cleaning the brain) is good. Pitch 2 i...

Yeah. I agree. Disaster response is a great 3 pitch 5.10 route. Excellent cleaning job and really great find. Pitch two is spectacular and pitch 3 is a well protected but burly layback / jam crack. Pitch 1 is a bit gritty from cleaning but should get better with traffic. Get on it!! Thanks Glenn and...

Hi Anders, I'll take a stab at a couple of your questions: 1. I believe that the District of Squamish municipal council is giving third reading to re-zoning the former gravel pit tonight. I expect that 3rd reading to pass which will then allow for such a development on the road-side gravel-pit. Ther...

For sure. Waiting game is a great few pitches of crack climbing. It deserves more traffic and it's good to go in the heat. Go do it!

What about pipeline? Done first as an aid route with sawed off chimney pipe as pro. Apparently the FFA wanted to rename it pipeloads...
