I'm happiest on moderate multi-pitch climbs (snake, rambles, skywalker, exasperator etc.) or fun single pitch climbs in the bluffs, murrin or m...

there us a notice board in the squamish campground. if you post a phone number or tent site, people will find you.

McClane's book references the start location based on the old trail. Can you indicate where it is based on the new trail.

awesome work btw.
