Re: Hanging Gardens at the Papoose
We slung the tree and it seemed fine for the second. It's a good climb, and deserves traffic. Thanks again.

Re: Hanging Gardens at the Papoose
Nice route, outstanding even. And good job scrubbing.
The grades you proposed seem reasonable. The second pitch may be easier, espelly if you're tall. I'm not.
Thanks a lot for the effort.

Re: New routes above and beyond area
Thanks. I've seen that trail and wondered where it went.

Re: 5.10 crack testpieces
Split pillar is way harder than the sail flake imo. Not even close.

Re: 5.10 crack testpieces
I've been wanting to give liquid gold a try.
Maybe not testpieces, but:
Neat and cool
Sunblessed p2
Centrefold p2
Squamish Buttress crux pitch
Exasperator
Apron Strings p1
Blazing Saddles p2
Mercy Street
Split pillar (ok, this IS sustained)

I had a hamstring graft about 5 or 6 years ago. Lots of cycling helped my rehab. At the time I was more of a roadie than a climber, and I was racing bikes 2 months post op. I had good results after 6 months or so, and the biggest issue was the hamstring to be honest. Give it time, rehab religously, ...

Don't change anything
The last pitch belay is pretty clear from the topo, and it's also the resposibility of a leader to think of the second anytime there is traversing. I think it's fine. I did find it intimidating to get started on the dyke pitch though, but that was me, not the bolting. And it's not a big deal to brin...

The slab start has been there a while as far as I know. To find it go up the gully past the regular start heading towards the tree start. You should be able to see the first bolt at least. It's a long pitch to the base of the Angel crack, bolts and gear, watch for rope drag. There is another variati...

Fun route
My wife and I climbed the UBD yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. It sort of feels like Skaha climbing, but on choss. There is still a bit of dirt, and I imagine a good rain would help a lot. There are loose rocks here and there, but it was obviously a LOT worse before. It's a bit run out in places,...
