Lumberland
A couple of years ago I climbed a new route at Lumberland with Robin Beech, but only reported it on the cascadeclimbers.com message board. I guess this is a better spot to do so.
Anyways Maple Cream is located between The GMB and Lumberland. Start as for GMB and move right, or climb directly (direct start has mossed over now). Climb thin crack to a horizontal, shuffle left along the horizontal, and then climb past 2 bolts on a cruxy slab (10c-ish) to top out. I added a bolt belay to the top of Lumberland to replace the rotten stump belay there, which also serves this route. Rap down off chains on the GMB or walk off. Gear to #1 Camalot.
4 problems on the boulder below the crag were also climbed, ranging from V0 to V2ish. Beware of sharp rocks below the arete on the boulder, which will cut a hole in your pad if you let them.

This area has just been re-srcubbed, please go and climb it, the route are fun. Hopefully more people will find this crag now that there will be a new trail up from crag x area.
Question for Dru, Maple Cream, the direct start, does it start right off of the ground in line with the bolts? If so I still have a bit of work to do.

Was out walking today and checked out a small crag above Lumberland. Looks like still some development going on, but at least two new routes in a corner - one bolted, one natural steep corner. Also some nice looking ledgey routes starting off with a short roof. This is also directly below One Toque Wall. Any info yet?
