Has anyone here climbed the Free Grand?
Thinking about making it next summers project, just looking for (a) some beta on the harder bits and/or (b) someone who's willing to make a regular run at it in the future. Looks like a fun time.

Re: Stuck gear
It's actually a yellow link cam that's stuck on Apron Strings...... been there for a couple months now. Feel bad for the sap that got that piece stuck in there.
I'd be willing to come clean some gear with you..... My rack is lacking

Re: Heart Fealt Thanks
Some douche left one right on the side of the backside trail not too long ago...... Wasn't too pleased about that one.

Re: Flying gear, flying rocks = no fun on Rutabaga
I knocked a rock off of Millennium Falcon myself this past Wednesday..... I did yell though. It sucks when you notice that there's a lot of loose rock, and do everything you can to avoid disturbing it, but then the rope brushes it or something and sends one down. You then spend the next 10 seconds s...

Re: Multi Pitch Politeness when stuck behind slow folks.
For the most part, even when I am soloing, I have no issues with waiting. As long a I am in a position where I can make myself comfortable/secure, then I can just hang out. I'm weird; on some pitches, I get as much enjoyment seeing other people climb them for the first time (ie: Buttface) as I get c...

Re: Wall of Attrition ??
I did the first maybe 7 pitches, which are pretty good. We bailed... At one point, I was standing on a slab (barely) and reached up into where the rock gets crappier. There was a good horizontal, then another, and I heaved myself up, both feet off the slab, threw a left up and found a sideways slot...

Will be around Apron/Chief area tomorrow
Gonna be going up some Apron route by myself probably, then continuing on up...... Unless I find someone to climb with, gotta take advantage of the nice weather while we have it. Will be wearing a blue bandanna and white Ray Bans, feel free to say hi if you see me, as I am never in a hurry while cli...

Re: New 5.9 Variation on Squamish Buttress
Second ascent, Nathan (Nate Dogg OG) Roberts 8) Good climb, lots of fun, reasonably bolted, still needs a good solid rain to wash away the sand, but what new climb doesn't? Bolted section felt stiff for a .9 (took a tumble when my foot popped due to sand) but that might change as it gets cleaner and...

Re: Moderate multipitch under 5.9 (with stations)
Climbed it at night, ran it out, only placed half a rack Couldn't see the top due to said darkness, so I figured I might need the gear.bearbreeder wrote:steven wrote:

Re: Right Wing - bolts are back
Also, one can always adjust the commitment level themselves freely. I think Alex Honnold has free-soloed Northern Lights and Freeway. I don't think he has complained about the bolted anchors. Likewise, some locals have free-soloed Diedre, Ultimate Everything, Butt Face, etc. To say that a bolted an...

Re: Right Wing - bolts are back
Just to add my 0.02 cents...... For what it's worth, I think that it is the discretion of the route scrubber to place bolts and belays as they see fit. Ideally, if it is not their original line, they would seek out the permission of the original scrubber/first ascentionist to retrofit it, as I under...

On a slightly related note, I was one fall away from sending Crime of the Century today.

Re: Here we go again (Squamish Gondola proposal)
If this proposal is no good then what ever will be? Anyone have proposals for what else you'd like to see in that empty lot then? A Costco? A hotel? Waterslides? More parking? It's a valuable spot because of the traffic. Eventually something will go in there, keep that in mind. Waterslides sounds p...

I'm looking to get up Ultimate Everything if that interests you.
