A Crimp-free TR

Post by squamish climber » Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:30 pm

Sam Bedell, a climber from down in Washington State came north to Squamish for the first time to do some crack climbing (where have you been all this time Sam?) . He wrote up a nice TR on his blog Mountain Mischief (like the name). They did: Skywalker, Klahanie Crack, Diedre (no crowds), and Exasperator (a highlight).

He gave me permission to link some of his photos:

Nice - you got in some classics. Come back soon.

Glad you like the blog Dave! I actually live in Oregon so its a 9 hr drive without traffic which is why I kept putting it off. Now I know what I'm missing I'll be back more often, it's an amazing place.
