Please respect the tagged routes didn't have red tape. A couple of injuries has delayed sending the routes. I will post topo and info soon. Working on a couple more crags in the area. Rolf

Hi Anders I probably climbed SA 20- 30 times in the 70,s and 80,s. Please don’t add any bolts to the upper pitches, these pitches are about route finding and never need to be harder than 5.7. They may seem heady but are no more difficult than the upper pitches of Diedre. The odd piece of protection ...

I have always thought this route was stellar! Robin chopped the intermediate anchor on the slab just above the 10b headwall start last year. Dale Caldwell who put up TGWBG realized you needed an anchor here, because rope stretch at the crux (beginning of the headwall) would result in a bad ledge fal...

Anyone been up to Chek lately? Is the road clear?

Once upon a time the Canadian Government had a vast climbing area in the middle of nowhere. A climber said, "Someone needs to protect this cliff." So the government created a climber watchman position and hired a person (bilingual, naturally) for the job. Then the Government said, "How can the watch...

Rather than flog that dead horse “ bolting issue”, when, where, how many, at what acceptable degree of difficulty, and who has the bigger set of cojones, I offer a solution. I retro bolted Raging Duck to make it more accessible and moss free in a popular area. I will restore it to the original one b...

Please identify yourself and your reasons for chopping the bolts. As a first ascentionist of numerous routes, every time I clean , bolt or rebolt a climb , I am open to public scrutiny and accountable for my actions by the climbing community. I am constantly aware of this responsibility and try to w...

A mixture of bleach and water sprayed on your crash pad will kill the spores. They are not potentially toxic until the mold drys and the spores become airborne. I agree wash your slings and gear. Mold is a bit of an alarmist issue these days, the forests are full of molds and spores and always have ...

Place a new anchor and be done with it, after all the bluffs are a KletterGarden and moving traffic always helps. Why not push a new route up to the right of Phlegmish dance or rebrush the trail right to the routes Rolling Stones 5.8 and Rubber Soul 5.9, which Ivan and i put up years ago. Overgrown ...

New route at Sully's (aka the Dark Side) Between Shake Your Lettuce and Special K. "SERENE" Longest route on crag, 10 bolts. Overbolted to avoid the tree and huggers. 11c if you climb left near the top to a big rest or 12A if you climb the last two bolts direct. Sustained. FA R Rybak, FA Direct Fini...

Put up by Rolf Rybak and Mike Teschke April 27. Shaggy. 6 bolts and fixed biners for rap. Please use draws to toprope if you don,t want a twisted rope. Super fun and steep 5.9 , quality climbing, finger and hand jams, jugs, gaston, sidepull and even a heelhook if you want. Bolted safe for new leader...

April and September are the best times to climb Apron slabs, great friction and quality of light. Put on a fleece and climb in the afternoon after the lineup on Diedre has bottle necked at the last wet pitch . Better yet climb Slab Alley from the orignal start and finish up on A Question of Balance ...

Come on Shawn , post the topo! The best way to keep moss of routes is to have people climb them. This crag is too sweet not to share. There may be a few unfinished projects but most climbers are too lazy a$% to poach them. Yeah, yeah, yeah the Shore may be wet but this cliff is unique, you actually ...

Barley bashing seems to have become sport even in tragic posts. If you can do it better show me don't disrespect serious posts ! How sad that you have to use mis...
