Re: New Free Route in North Walls
Thanks guys, I'm just glad that I went back up to lead that one pitch. That 4th pitch was a bit over my head when I scoped the line, but I didn't want to take my ropes down and possibly see it get retrobolted. I didn't go up for a whole year, and when I did go back it seemed just fine to lead after ...

New Free Route in North Walls
I finished freeing the first six pitches of Chris Geisler's epic aid line 'The Last Temptation of St Anthony' on the North Walls of the Chief. This is an incredibly beautiful line, one of the great lines of Squamish in my fully biased opinion. Pitch 4 is a contender for the one of the boldest leads ...

Re: Rock On Dry?
It rained quite hard. If it stays dry for 2 - 3 days I'll bet it would be dry except for the 10a bulge at the top, this makes it somewhat harder, but not outrageous. A week of sunny dry weather and it will be dry. As a general reference, the second pitch of U-Wall and the Golden Throat Charmer were ...

Re: Squamish's stiffest routes...
All the 5.12 pitches I climbed in the Yosemite felt easier on the onsight than similarly graded lines in Squamish. I onisghted 7 of 8 5.12 pitches I tried down there including supposed 12d stemming on RP's on El Cap. My track record in Squam isn't as good, it's not as soft here as people often sugge...

Re: 12 new Bolts left of the pillar
The white static line isn't mine, although I did jug it to finish soloing Humpty Dumpty. I left it up so a friend could also finish aiding Humpty Dumpty. But due to being busy organizing his own wedding he hasn't found the time to get the rope back. If it's bothering people I'm happy to go get it, a...

Re: Rock On - climbers urinating at belay stn
I am appalled that someone would do such a thing. I would certainly piss my pants long before considering urinating on a 'top 100' and possibly rendering the next climber's experience a 'Top 99' due to the presence of a urine like fragrance at a belay station. What should we do? Perhaps a group coul...

Re: Fluffy Kitten Wall... C'mon People!!!!
Probably about 45 mins from the parking to the base with gear. The bridge is intact and super fun to cross, its essentially a slackline with handrails!

Fluffy Kitten Wall... C'mon People!!!!
So yesterday I went for a fun alpine traverse type mission, most of it is of little relevance to this board, however I started the traverse by climbing 'The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers' on the Fluffy Kitten Wall. I decided this morning that I had to say something about this beautiful and seemingly...

New Route at the Bottom of Pet Wall
Hey guys, I put up a new route at the lower end of Pet Wall maybe a month ago. Chris Small cleaned this line and left it as a project when he was developing that section of the wall. I lowered down the line to figure out the crux moves and a couple pieces of gear, then led it. The gear isn't too bad...

Re: Top 10 Hard Cracks in Squamish
Nobody has tried to flash 'sixty-nine' yet that I am aware of. If you think you're up to the challenge I have the rack and beta for ya.

New Climb on Tantalus Wall
Finished a new route on the right side of the Tantalus Wall. This is the first free climb on this part of the wall and is almost entirely new other than sharing some of 'Cerberus's first pitch and climbing a short section of the aid line 'Wrist Twister'. Just for fun and excitement the route was est...

New Start to Cerberus
Put up a new start to Cerberus on the Tantalus wall. It starts off the same ledge as the aid line 'Wrist Twister', approach up the Bullethead Gulley, fixed lines in place. The new start dries extremely fast and provides an alternative to the slow drying 'Milk Run' or Tantalus Crack. It is very high ...
