agree 100% with the poster on this one. It is a relatively easy fix for Gripped....any company with an ounce of credibility would have fixed this immediately.

Unless this route is completely independant of Mosquito, I really don't see the point. If Mosquito is open then nobody is going to choose a dirty corner instead.
If it can be climbed while another party is on Mosquito (and Sphinter Quits)then it makes, but otherwise its just a bit silly

Dancing in the LIght....hands down my most memorable slab climb.

got through all the 10- pitches without a fall (good thing too considering the runouts) but took a few large whippers on the 10d pitch.

As for falling on slab, the best way is to run backwards fast

Dancing in the Light is on page 110 of the Select book (route #23).

I'm pretty sure Dancing in the Light is in the Select guide. Check the Apron section, it'll be on the same page (or very close) to Dream On.

like harihari said, there are really only two spots for gear. The first is a .75 cam that protects a 10- move, and the 2nd is a rattly little nut that 'protects' a 10ish move.
Other than that its all bolts....but I wouldn't exactly call is a sport climb

Dancing in the Light is also in the Select book..... Local Boys (now 10d apparently) is a good way to start if you are concerned 10c is too easy for you. If you walk up Local Boys then amble over to Magic Carpet Ride and give it a shot. If you onsight that thing I doubt many people will give you gri...

If Stairway to Heaven is too easy for you, go do Dancing in the Light....its a 5 star classic. The only piece off gear it takes is only for show anyway, so just take 7 or 8 draws.

But I agree with harihari....you need to buy a rack.....

thanks for the photo.
I've heard the Crossover descent is pretty ugly...although Optimally Primed's topo details it very well.
I expect we'll be topping out around 4ish so not sure whether we'll have the daylight for Crossover, considering we've never scoped it out

thanks Dru.
Do you know if the Slesse Creek FS road is gated? I read a cc.com post about a 'hidden' key...any beta?

Anyone know what condition the glacier is in....has it slid off yet?

GodForsaken Land is worth doing but I can't comment on Games Idiots Play.

GFL is probably not as good as the Great Game due to a few A0 sections but there are definitely some worthy pitches (I recall that last being a very good, steep 10+).

I'd agree with Bourdon's 3/5 star rating.....

agree with Cloudraker....

good riddance Riel

Here is some HelmetCam footage of my recent (onsight) attempt of FingerLicking Good. Unfortunately the HelmetCam doesn't really show very well on a climb (I got it primarily for skiing and biking) because its hard to gain perspective of the climb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK-RI6TXIoU FLG is a ...

Finally got around to vclimbing this route last weekend. Thanks to whomever flagged and cleaned up the approach trail - it made a HUGE difference. Here's what I remember from the route: p1. (5.8) pretty non-descriptive short slab and then a scruffy corner. p2. (10d) Excellent pitch, with great 10+ s...
