Not the one across from Rogues. The one up the hill.

You have to go down into the canyon. There are a couple of other, worthwhile climbs in that canyon btw.

You can approach along the river from the pullout with the sign, or rap in from the next pullout south (but you have to walk north along the highway for about 150m until you find the cairns and trail)

Isn't that Bump Pumice 5.10c, FA Dorling et al 1990s?

Unless you already live in the Valley (it's more affordable, quicker and cheaper to drive to Steinbok than Squamish for me )

If that's the first roadcut wall you come to after leaving Loggers Lane (near Jug Slab and before you get to Boys of Porteau), then this must be about the third time now that that particular wall has been scrubbed and climbed and allowed to grow over again?

Maybe he'd just read Manboy's anti-chipping manifesto/poll yesterday, which it looks like got deleted overnight?

The hardest slabs in Squamish are probably Raptors, the opening pitches of Genius Loci, and Roadside Distraction? The best, probably Agonal, Dream On and Magic Carpet Ride? Overall, though, there are a couple of 5.14 slabs out there (one in Wales, one in Madagascar, one on Half Dome) and a whole bun...

I have found that rather than wearing thick, heavy clothing, the best way to avoid getting slab rash is to not fall off.

The bolts were removed to keep people from climbing it for the same reasons you can't climb on the Lower Malemute anymore - the train company shat their pants with rage the first time they saw someone climbing there.

Having been on Crap Crags years ago, I have no intent of ever venturing onto or anywhere near that section of cliff ever again.

I expect that some of what now appears stable will crumble as its time of exposure to surface processes increases.
