i spoke to a guy who went there a week and a half ago, he said there was 2-3 feet of snow! they had to park at the bottom of the hill (obviously) and then they TRIED to walk up the hill but couldn't because too much snow! (past their knees and no snow-shoes). it's warmed up a bit since then, but i t...

13c isn't THAT hard....
not to beat a dead horse here, but just so you know it's possible.... i've done 13c bare-foot. (Big Blue in the Surf-Bowls in Mexico). and i definately do NOT consider myself to be strong!!! i've know non-climbers who can do 1 arm pull-ups; if 13c back in the day seems "far fetched" to you: common m...

Brendan, i realize i forgot SOME of the details about the article (like if it was the 50's or 60's) but, some things i do remember.... mainly because it was the whole point of the article.... he climbed a 13c WAY WAY WAY before anybody else.... not 12a. I'm not sure who YOU are Brendan, but i know w...

Squamish in the summer
Theo, i agree with JSmith that there are plenty of climbers here in the summer.... However... if you are into SPORT CLIMBING (like myself) it can be quite hard to find regular partners in Squamish.... it's much easier if you Boulder (90% of all the climbers in squamish in the summer seem to be Bould...

MANY YEARS AGO..... There was a Buddhist Temple somewhere i...

North North Arete is 5.9 Have you or anyone else done this route? I've heard it's the worst climb in Canada.... can't possibly be worse than that scoops and dimples POS on the south apron though. That was the first route i did in Squamish (probably 8 yrs ago). i thought it was fun! i've done BAD ro...
