what could possibly be the motivation for doing that?? was there a tree near the top and somebody took issue with not simply using it as the station? even if there're good cracks at the top, no beginner is going to build a gear belay so that would be a weak excuse. and the whole angle grinder busine...

There's a form here: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/fees/parking.html to apply to get your money back.

Dang Jer, that sounds nasty. Hope you heal up quickly enough. Let me know if you need a hand (no pun intended!)...

Looks awesome! Thanks for all the hard work and can't wait to get on it!

Dude! They have slacklines...

Well, it's pouring outside and since I can't climb outside, this miserable weather's got me wondering: What's the coolest indoor climbing gym you've ever been to? What made it better than the others? Weird features? Bigger walls? (Yeah, I know indoor climbing is a distant second to climbing real roc...

Hmmmm, thanks for all the interesting replies. Not sure though about wear and tear inside cracks due to gear placements. Although this could happen, I personally notice more the surface polishing done by poor footwork. so here's another thought: should climbing shoes use a softer rubber that's less ...

I may be wrong, but I've got a feeling that most of the polish is due to the flailing of feet on friction moves. i think anywhere there's a layback move is especially susceptible. Conversely, on face climbs, like those in chek where falling off a climb more often than not (at least at the lower grad...

I just came back from my first visit to Yosemite and couldn’t help but reflect on how polished some of the classic moderate free climbs had become after years and years of climber’s feet. Some were incredibly slick! I figure this is very unfortunate since: - Great climbs become permanently altered s...

great work everyone. sorry I couldn't make it!

the whistler guidebook is quite out of date regarding the cal cheak area and doesn't include some of the recent, moderate, additions. Try page 226 of squamish select.....

Cal-Check has a couple walls full of moderates.

kinda old now, but there's always the Central BC rock guide

realistically, if you want to climb, you're best off heading south... like to red rocks (outside of las vegas), or joshua tree or something like that in California. even coming here in october would be a roll of the dice as good conditions rapidly give way to a rain that won't stop for any real leng...

Jeremy, I'm a little confused here. What exactly would they try and charge you with?? I mean, let's say that trundling sh*t off of your route destroyed every single hold, bolt and anchor on another route (not suggesting any of this might remotely have happened- purely hypothetical). while that would...
