If you want first time climbers to lose interest in rock climbing in under five minutes, then by all means take them to Sugerloaf. We're not talking about first time climbers, Cody wants to learn to trad lead. Impressing them is low on the agenda because they've already been around the block a bit....

Oh, yeah, Call it a Day. Daycare is in Skaha I think. Stupid.

The easy routes at Sugarloaf, The Commonwealth (both at Murrin) and Daycare at the Smoke Bluffs all provide nice straight forward climbing where you can place lots of gear from stable positions.

The grades are fair up there. Just be prepared to get worked, that's all..... Went there Sunday, all I can say is WOW. It was comically mobbed, lots of the local mafia and a smattering of sponsored superheroes seeing what all the fuss is about. I'd agree with your sentiment, I thought the grading w...

Sounds amazing, like Meshuga in the Peak District.

If the name is a Led Zep reference, shouldn't it be The Battle of Evermore?

Edit: Apparently he did name it The Battle of Evermore.

Have to say its not my cup of tea. I think the HDR is OTT.

what I take away from this fall is the importance of knotting the rope ends before rapping. it's something every climber knows is an added level of safety when rapelling, but so few of us bother to do it. What jeffski said. And putting knots in your rope is far from a fix all solution Greg, I've be...

Anyone care to predict the likelihood of a Cobra Crack flash?

Especially YDS grades. Might as well use a random number generator
