Re: Mank Patrol
@ woahmid:
the bolts I use from Hilti are 304 stainless. It is the most readily available and as we seem not have the same issues with stress corrosion cracking seen in tropical maritime sedimentary rock climbing areas.

Re: Mank Question
3/8" chain works. The quick link is the important component - 3/8" minimum and use stainless steel biners to reduce wear and potential rope desheathing please.

You then are able to climb the arete by grabbing a couple of big jugs to progress to a smooth bald slab for the finish. Gear t...

Re: update falcon closures this year
That is the only closure so far.Well also the routes above angels crest accessed from Borderline (Highplains Drifter Area) . Usually only one nesting pair is present on the Chief. Over the last few years the falcons have been moving their nest sites around quite a bit and since we have an actual obs...

Re: Angel's Crest
I have fowarded this sighting information to BC Parks for confirmation by their biologist. Just a reminder that peregrines are a red listed endangered species in Canada and disturbance of their nest sites is illegal and carries a significant legal penalties.

Re: Mank Patrol
I fixed the second anchor on Hanging Garden at the papoose June 06/2015 and cleaned the needles out of the cracks. It still may have a little residual dirt around but at least you can put gear in now.

The exit however is extremely exciting and thin. it certainly would be VERY nice to have the 1/4" bolt replaced with a nice 3/8" to protect the final moves. I was ...
