Sport climbers... and their PAVED roads... sheesh! :roll: I would love to be able to roll my eyes right along with you dirty. But the Squamish trad climbing community will forever be stained by the $10,000 laid down for the cleaning for Crap Crags. On a dollar to pitch ratio $40,000 for a paved roa...

Word of advice. Tinfoil hats make poor climbing helmets.

Which leads me to ask, could you be confusing Jeremy with someone else. It's possible there was another party cleaning on the Chief on a day that Jeremy was not there. No way in Hell! Jeremy is the only route developer who routinely posts his efforts on SquamishClimbing.com, therefore Jeremy MUST b...

Don't leave anything in your car, short of having a full time security guard watching from when the first car arrives till the last car leaves thats the only security solution that works. Ron No, random security guard checks would work just fine. Not a fool proof plan, but it's enough of a deterren...

It all sounds great! I for one would be all for a parking fee if it meant that: 1. The lot got paved 2. They installed proper public washroom 3. As for the need for security, the piles of broken glass in the parking lot speaks to that necessity. Now for all the haters who would be against this idea....

On page 206 of McLane's 2005 guide you can see a large obvious crag just bellow the Summit of the Zodiac. I haven't heard or read anything about this particular wall, I'm curious to know if any development has gone on in the past or in recent years. It looks great in the photos I've seen, moderate h...

Aaron, do you mean persuade top-ropers to climb the new line "no-see-um" to take pressure off the heavily polished Mosquito? Or rather to keep top-ropers off? Over the years I've seen many fixed anchors come and go. One of the excuses I've heard (and I don't necessarily agree with it) is fixed anch...

In my experience anchors that get chopped in the Smoke Bluffs are done so for one of three reasons. 1. The chopper believes that a natural anchor (tree) is suitable 2. Bolted anchors = top-ropers = crowded lines and polishing 3. the route has been Long established & is popular enough without one. So...

Good question. I ask my self this all the time. I attribute it to the human condition of our general inability to question the hegemony.

Great work what your doing. Keep it up!

the cedar at the base of the Split Pillar has grown from a small bush 50 years ago to a substantial tree rooted in the crack at the base of the right side of the pillar. As is evident to anyone who looks closely, the entire Split Pillar and the Sword above it are attached to the wall at this point ...

In defense to the necessity of tree removal I'll share the following: When a friend and I cleaned South Arête on the Apron we removed a tone of soil, a heap of vegetation and at least 5 trees. So I'm just as guilty as the next guy when it comes to tree removal. At the time my buddy protested against...

Coming to?? What are you talking about? The only thing that new is the size the headlamps. God, remember those battery packs that were the size of a pack of smokes and the lamps that could double as a coffee cup.
