Re: Is Squamish Soft?
Quoting two random internet sources is hardly a legitimate argument in support of a point. Especially when, on the other hand, you have benchmark 5.11 routes like 13 Shutouts at Skaha where none of the individual moves is harder than mid-10 and the grade comes from the sustained pump rather than a s...

Re: Is Squamish Soft?
YDS grades have not been based on the single hardest move difficulty for years, if they ever in fact were. They reflect the total difficulty of a route.

Re: Easy Sports Route
Jug Slab has two 5.6, a 5.7 and a 5.9. Quick and easy, four bolts each, and edging rather than smearing.

Re: New Fixed Chain on Broadway
The first bolted stations on Diedre were placed by Jim Sinclair way back in the early 70s to cut down on the piton scarring of the cracks at the belays .

Re: Nervous Ticks (sic)
Is in any coincidence that people are complaining about giant tick marks right at the same time when the summer Colorado/Cali posse travellers have shown up in town?

"Nearly all are non-permanent"?
I think this is a case of those who start with a preconception finding evidence to support it.
Also, the forest industry isn't dead, although the mill is. This just means that most logs get shipped far away to be processed - it doesn't mean logging has stopped.

Re: Supernatural at the Squaw
yup the crux of supernatural is at the bottom so if you can downclimb that why do you even need a rope? just climb the second pitch and keep going up jungle warfare instead. I met a gal who led the second pitch of supernatural for her second ever lead, after being told it was 5.7 she said it felt pr...

Re: Mount Habrich
I remember the first time i went up there in 1991 we got to this bluff and started looking for a way to get around it to the base of the mountain. Half an hour later we figured out it WAS the base of the mountain.

Note the correlation between approaching barefoot, extreme sunburn, getting lost on the approach, and first ever summit.

Re: Slesse: bypass glacier condition ?
You don't have to cross it, sure, but it's above you on the approach to the start of the Buttress Direct too. Stay right in the lower basin and then make a beeline for the start of the route.
