The route climbs a old aid line up a hard face with no pro to a big flake system mid height, followed by a hard bouldery finish to the top of the boulder. All natural pro.

Ben used a slightly different sequence getting up the 12d slab section. No change in overall difficulty. If anything Ben's way is a bit harder than the way Chris did it.

Tonight is the meeting. Come down to see what's going on, let us know what you think, and take home some schwag.

For anyone who is interested, Ben "Butters" Harnden continued with his sending rampage today by making the 3rd ascent of Dreamcatcher. Congrats to one of Canada's best and most humble climbers!
Hoboneering forever!

No closures slated so far. The monitoring program, which runs until the end of May has yet to determine any nesting sites.
