Staple and Pulls Easy are both fantastic full value crack climbs. We walked over to Disaster Response as well but didn't climb anything over there, it looked very good as well. A very impressive job on the access trail up to Pox wall, that must have taken some time.

Looks great, especially that arete. Did you climb any of this Don? What did you think?

Climbed a couple of these routes yesterday on the way down from Disaster Response.

Staple: This is certainly the line of the crag and has to be one of the better pitches of its grade in Squamish. It reminds me of Perspective due to its length, quality and sustained nature but seems a grade easier.

Pulls Easy: Another full value crack climb, with an airy traverse midway up to gain the upper cracks. the grade seemed pretty accurate at 10c.

We ran out of time but I will definitely be back to have a go at the other climbs....and to repeat these two.

If you are a 5.10 climber get up there and check these out - you will not be disappointed.

I did Heel Hook Arete last year, which is absolutely fantastic. The rock was a little bit crumbly still, but with more traffic this could definitely be a classic. I can't think of any other overhanging crack system/arete at this grade.
