greatest boulder problem in Squamish

Post by dr. send » Thu Apr 08, 2004 12:46 pm

What do you think the greatest problem in squamish is, and why?

I vote for Kung Fu Fighter in the Clean boulders. Sandbagged, technical, fun, good landing, high enough to be scary but not high enough to do any damage.

Tucan Sam--because I can do it. It's a little highball, but that's what makes it so great. :)

Oh Yeah, I forgot about Toucan Sam. That is one hell of a problem. :wink:

I vote Kung Fu Fighter as well. Just my completely unbiased opinion. Sandbagged? I didn't sandbag it. :twisted:

Kung fu is v4

the best Squamish problem is Squeeling Pork at the farm

or Child Abuse beside the Grand Wall trail.

How does "Shots Fired" compare to the ones already mentioned?

shots fired is okay, but it definitely doesn't compare to Kung Fu or Squealing Pork (as much as I hate that problem for its crimps). If you want a good problem in the Drive By area, do No Mercy in Porn Land or No Excuse for Porn Hair, both wicked scary fun problems.

Kung Fu and Shots Fired both getting props. I think I'm blushing. I think that Shots Fired would be one of the most popular problems if it was in the forest and not in a ditch beside the highway. I love Airtight Garage because sometimes I hike it and feels fine and other times it's a battle and I walk away trying to figure out why beta that has worked for me before feels horrible. Great problem for sure.

Shots fired is a great problem, but the best problems for me are the un-hyped gems. My favourites are the ones i find by myself, not the lines that are recommended by others (weird i know, but true). Child Abuse was like that 'cause I was always walking by it on my way to the Grand. One day I finally decided I just had to climb the thing - so I did, and it was good.

Shadows is also good, so is Mind Bender cause it is just so fun and subtle, I love the leap to the 2nd sloper! Gull Skull is good also.

"This Monkey's Gone to Heaven" is way better than every problem listed thus far.

This Monkey's definitely a quality problem, but it's definitely not better than Kung Fu. Loose Change and Worm World are both comparable to This Monkey, and the Bar Exam in the area just south of the Cleans is a pretty wicked problem too. I'm with Jason on the 'unhyped gems,' there's a problem in the Soo Slide (that no one ever goes to) that is probably the most aesthetic problem I have ever done.
