funarama
Hey Dru: I was talking to Harry Young about the new Barley/ Young routes at funarama and also did some of the new routes at Funarama. The mixed route to the left of Squatters rights (6) is 10 b/c and is super fun. Harry thought the bolted line in the middle was 10d ish. The line just right of First ...

Barley uses 3/8 inch Hilti bolts. I placed a nice rap hanger station at Funarama last week in holes he had drilled for Harry Young for a new route and which Harry has given me as a project. (BTW Harry Young and Robin did an awesome job retrocleaning this Cliff - thanks Harry and Robin). The grooves ...

bad anchors
Speaking of initiative- maybe we should all try to bring on some good karma by taking a couple of rap hangers and a wrench with us to replace some these anchors especially on the good routes. Think of it as an investment in safety and in your fellow climbers. it is only ten bucks for 2 fixe rings. I...

Hey Kevlar: In Canada the major climbing areas are not located in the boondocks like most of the areas I have been to in the USA (exceptions Leavenworth and Red rocks). Squamish is suburban climbing at its finest. You will find a lifetime worth of climbing within biking or walking distance of the ca...

Falcons on the Chief
Was wondering if anyone knows if the falcons have arrived back yet on the Chief. I was hoping to do Europa in the near future and wondering if it is off limits yet?

The washer/ chain set-up is a classic "Robin Barley" set-up. Another which you see on lots of new Robin Barley routes in the Smoke Bluffs which is worse is two two link chains which you can't clip two locking biners in simultaneously to to secure yourself prior to rapping. The chain/ stacked washer ...

crappy anchors.
Wow. This could be a huge list. The second pitch of Supernatural on the Squaw (Lady) has two pins which are half hanging out of the crack and a rivet first bolt half eroded out of the rock. It is fully scary now. Pixie Corner and all the climbs at Burgers and Fries should have rap anchors or chains....
