If you're in toronto in the spring, a trip down to the red river gorge might be a worthwhile journey. Theres a big pilgrimage of ontario climbers headed down there in the spring, you may be able to carpool. Post up on ontarioclimbing.com, and Im sure you get lots of advice/hits for the east.

Im gonna go out on limb and say its pretty widely accepted to lower off a sport route...at least on this continent. Lowering off doesn't really wear the rings out that much around here anyway, IMO. Even places that are sandy and wear gear down much quicker...RRG and NRG for example, people are lower...

i can guarantee you that almost no one raps from the most of the overhung climbs in chek

Thats because rapping off something overhung is a dumb idea.

Are these even still available? Am I the only one thats noticed this thread is 3 years old?

Good point, low key is good beta for access sensitive areas.

Looking for a regular gym partner, in Van. And outside, when it stops raining. Coming off a hiatus, and 'getting back into it'.

PM if interested

I promise not to drop you

Pick up west kootenay rock guide. It leads me to believe theres tons of stuff to do. I spent a little time out there this fall, but didn't have a partner to climb with. My wife and I made the trek to Valhalla one weekend, and I think its definitely doable for a weekend trip. We're thinking of moving...

Sounds absolutely awesome. Thanks for the work put in!

I sourced T-nuts a few years ago, and found MEC was the cheapest.

Regarding your shipping issue, look into renting a PO box and having things sent there. Im not sure on the details, but I have a friend who regularly sends stuff to point roberts.
