So while ppl are talking about slab shoes and slab alley and whatnot, i have a ? What is your favorite and/or most memorable pitch(es) of slabby climbing @ Squamish? Remember it could a single pitch or a specific pitch on a multi pitch but don't just say "stairway to heaven", be specific on the actu...

Great Job!! is that the second ascent?

I like slab and i like slab a lot more when i'm wearing a new pair of Muira's lace up. Muira velcro's also rule for edging,smearing and standing on small crystals. If you size em flat & snug they won't stretch much either making a wicked all around squamish shoe. The biggest performance advantage th...

so what day is the cleaning? the post says the 13th but that was a few days ago..i think? Do you mean Sunday the 20th? I gotta get some of this back-to-the-future coffee you're into!! Warning people in the future about cleaning that has already happened!! Genius!

Are you sure it was pink cliff? or was it the pink-colored cliff around the corner from the beaver as there is some new bolted routes there, we climbed the one on the left and thought 10+/11- it also had a free petzl biner on it!! Fun climb too!

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Sounds wild!
Sorry for the bad info- one must be careful when talking with climbers that have a imbalanced strength:memory/intelligence ratio. Probably easy to mix up route names when they all feel 5.6 but remembering rent day feels 5.14

enough said, that was what i suspected. Thanks!

my belief has always been that it's highly possible this climb is a tube of grease but the other day a very unreliable source (strong climber with a bad memory) said it has been recleaned, rebolted and ....good ? Does anyone else hear this?? Or done it? I know there is a new route next door to it bu...

Here are the reasons I think the line should stay; - If reinstalled for the long-term, it would provide security to everyone, regardless of ability. - The large majority of climbers on the Apron are beginner to intermediate. - Will help reduce the polishing of the rock - Why the hell not? At least ...

put on some jeans too!

Very cool bit of history, this route has always sounded interesting to me but where it actually starts and ends has always been elusive. The water grooves are very prominent from below and look super cool, kinda like the ones before the final flake on banana peel but way more prominent and much long...

It sounds like for many people here that climbing is an activity they participate in because it challenges the mind and puts you in situations where you must calculate and accept risks. When faced with a climbing challenge - eg. "should we rope up for this 4th class section? or scramble? or belay?" ...

Just 2 summers ago Moccasyms were $89 + tax and Muira Lace were $129 + tax @ climb on & MEC, how can the same shoe that has been made the same way for almost a decade go up in price so much? Did 5.10 stop getting children to make their shoes or something? Looks like its resole time.... :cry: One bra...

They didn't even make it up the hill to the Chief boulders! this painting was not even halfway up the old highway bed. Must have been some real good sh*t.
Thanks for the cleaning efforts!!

Yup, usually if i do Snake or anything north of that. You just walk to the base of Karen's Math and the gully that leads up to Memorial ledge then scramble(Hip belay maybe first time) down to the left (lookers left not skiers left) near a gravelly crack which is to the left of the top of Calculus an...
