I expect that within a year or two of regular ascents that the crumbly holds will be gone . No. Much like the North and South Gullies, Europa follows a shear zone. This means that the granite has been stressed during formation, resulting in the formation of significant weaknesses in the very crysta...

I used to get rides all the time at Horseshoe Bay. Stand just across from the overpass since cars coming out from West Van or off the ferry are sometimes more likely to pick you up. Highway construction has F*cked up the best pickup spot now though. Many drivers will not pull over there anymore beca...

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that in a rant about "honouring the pioneers", Aaron manages to misspell Hamish Mutch as Hamish "Munch"? Maybe start that respect with getting his name right.

It's like getting a tattoo. 2 years later, it's too late to change your mind. You're stuck with that dumb old name.

There's a whole separate Oregon bouldering guidebook you can buy at Redpoint I think?

back on topic, Chic Scott's history book might be a good place to start looking for info on the hardest routes in Canada at a particular time. Although it does have a couple glaring omissions. I seem to recall a story about Les McDonald trying to freeclimb the slabs next to the lower Grand Wall Bolt...

Drive on the regular Chilliwack Lake road to Foley creek turnoff. Scoping to your left as you go, look north across the river. At Foley Creek, turn off and come back along the river on the north side (Chilliwack Bench Road), take side logging spur to below or above cliff of choice. Access to some cr...

Friday was on MY weekend I'm jealous! So where would I find this guide book. I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere. Rock wouldn't happen to be limestone would it? It's out of print but not hard to photocopy. I bought mine at PedalSports in 2001. The rock is granite. The crags are similar to the ...
