The...

Re: Logging route development
Having cut down many a tree in the interest of new routes, as well as sitting in on the discussions for the rock climbing strategy, I can tell you that there will never be consensus regarding trees. Everyone is different in what the consider a "natural" environment and what trees are sacred and what...

Re: Attack of the Arc'gucci Clones 5.11 six pitch
We did most of the route the other day. It's good, hard in warm conditions, but the rap anchors really need to be done properly. Hangers with a quicklink are not ideal for the rope. I believe another party tried to update them with a single point type system with the gear they had at the time , but ...

Re: Upper Olesen Creek logging- results of July 22nd meeting
Thanx for the detailed report and for attending the meetings Chris. It's obvious BCTS is willing to work with the climbing community to protect our climbing assets. However, the broader issue is the visual impact, mainly from the Chief. This involves more than the climbing community and would need t...

Re: Escape Velocity, 5.9, Mt. Habrich
I don't generally comment on quality etc regarding new routes. However, Jeremy is asking so I'll way in with our opinion. We did it this weekend b/c we got skunked on Life on Earth (too many parties). There were four of us and we all thought it was mostly heather ledges and very little rock climbing...

Re: New routes! new crag! Gonzales Creek area
If there were some nice flowers up there as described in the picture, I would most certainly give the crag my attention. Apparently, it is the crag dejour these days, nice work stu, you were 4 years ahead of your (their) time.....

Re: Who took my rope at Top Shelf?
I can put them to good use, or get them to people who can as well. Can you just drop them at climb on?

Re: Simpson - Strong Tie Bolts - Warning
I called Simpson and talked to one of their engineers after Eric brought this up. The shear strength numbers that Eric is using are after a factor of 4, at least. So the breaking strength is in fact meeting the standard of 20kn. Yes the Hilti are better in certain aspects, but as Kris quite rightly ...

The Trestle
South facing cliff, over the Chekamus River. Full sun. Vertical to overhanging, techy long routes. Only 5 at the moment, but are very good. It's been around for a little while, just didn't announce it. Getting there: Same rough area as Star Chek. Northbound from Chek, once heading down the hill park...
