Re: Chebacca's 5.10b 3p at Shannon Falls
I did this route last week and concur with the other posters - it's an really good climb with a couple of excellent pitches. Yet another new 4-star 5.10 route! p1: Some easier climbing leads to a short steep finger/hand crack. p2: Grind up the wide flare with excellent pro in the back of the crack. ...

Re: Sunset Strip horror show
Had a chance to climb the route today. It certainly seems like the 'route-du-jour' - we were the first of 4 parties on it this morning. I would echo what the other posters are saying - it is a VERY good route, probably the best 5.10 multi-pitch in Squamish. I think it is of better quality than MF as...

Re: Falcon Closure Update
I climbed Borderline today (not knowing about the closure) and did in fact see a Peregrine. I was atop the 2nd pitch and saw one fly in at about my elevation and land on the Terrace (just to the right of the Daily Planet start). The falcon stayed there for at least a few minutes until I climbed off....

Jesse, are you in fact a licensed guide (as your MeetUp profile suggests)?

Re: Pox wall (Slhanay) area - 4 new climbs by Harry Young
Climbed a couple of these routes yesterday on the way down from Disaster Response. Staple: This is certainly the line of the crag and has to be one of the better pitches of its grade in Squamish. It reminds me of Perspective due to its length, quality and sustained nature but seems a grade easier. P...

Re: Disaster Response (3 p 5.10) on a new wall
Climbed this route yesterday and agree with the other posters - it is a very high quality crack climb. Awesome job to the developers (Glenn et al) for putting it up and, perhaps more impressively, pounding in a good trail all the way up! The top of the climb puts you in a cool position in between th...

Re: New Route by Glenn Woloski - Fog Ducker Spire
Climbed this route last Sunday with Dary Hemmons. Overall I think its a very good route with an outstanding final pitch. We climbed it in 5 pitches (as did the party behind us) and my feeling is that this will likely become the norm due to the wandering nature of the climbing. I agree with Bruce's c...

Re: Marchello Shoe Repair
I'd love to hear some reviews..... It'd be great to have somewhere to get a resole in Squamish. I've been using Quick Cobbler in Vancouver ever since Newport Cobbler closed

Re: Climb and Punishment
I repeated this climb on Sunday and found it markedly easier as you get a good left foot at the bottom of where the block came out... made it a grade easier imho.

Re: So...what's the deal with Mercy Street?
its 10b.....basically a clone of the Pillar.
Dries very slow though so you generally have to wait until at least July.

Re: Sun Beam Wall - Empire in the Sun
Climbed this route today....its a good route and I thought the grades on the guide were accurate. Here is the bolt count per pitch (with the gear I placed, as much for my own recollection should i do it again). p1: 10b - 3 bolts (+ optional blue tcu). p2: 10b/c - 5 bolts p3: 10b - 7 bolts + .75 cama...

Re: I got bit by the Mouse's Tooth: A Lesson in Sketch
I think you guys are right....he must have been off route, otherwise there would be mention of the 5.10 hand crack (best pitch of the route IMHO). To re-iterate my previous comment, the only belay that I thought was suspect was the one under the roof - and it really wasn't too bad. As Bruce indicate...

Re: Alpine rock in North Joffre creek
p5: Moved left into a splitter crack for a few tough moves, then left before the roof to the sketchy hanging gear belay (35m 11a). (NOTE: The topo shows these last two pitches as one but being the 5.10 climbers we are, we broke them up into 2) Note that I made a typo here.....it should read move 'R...

Re: Alpine rock in North Joffre creek
We got on this climb a couple of weeks ago - overall it is an excellent route with some truly oustanding pitches on the headwall. Here is how we pitched it out: p1: We took the right-hand (easier) start as per the topo. Steep finger crack (10a) to some 5.9ish terrain past about 5 or 6 bolts. This pi...
