Thanks for you comments and suggestions - keep them coming. I'll look further into the opening a link in a new tab or a new page. But my first thought was this was something you control on your own web browser in preferences. And on a Mac since the mouse does not have a right click button don't you ...

I climbed this on Sunday, August 1st -- We started the route around 3:45 pm and were at the top around 5:45. I was with an experienced leader so we travelled fairly fast. Like others have mentioned above, the harder moves are on the first three pitches and are well protected -- fun. And the elephant...

This does look like a good bypass to avoid the traffic jam at the bottom of the 10c. As well, a full-height climb up the Chief is now open to more climbers since the hardest move is 5.9. If anybody does it this weekend I wouldn't mind hearing what you think. Thanks Sonnie Ben and Lydia for the route...

There was a problem with my email. I don't think you ever got my message. Hopefully you have it now. I'm still keen on climbing with you and showing you around Squamish.

Let me know

True, it looks like you were sandbagging your own climbing level. Take a look at grade conversion chart in the articles section. (http://squamishclimbing.com/articles.php?&ID=1)

French 6b is 5.10d not 5.6.

Now your talking about some real climbing.

Hi Andy and Hanne, Sounds like you have a great trip in the works. I would be happy to climb with you on August 8th. I don't know but I have a feeling that Squamish grades will feel a little soft compared to what you climb in England. I think a climb on the Apron called Banana Peel is well within yo...
