You misunderstood completely.

The traffic at Sully's is completely normal for a crag that is within city limits. It is a 15-20 minute drive for most people who're close to the highway.

Being 'adventurous' has no bearing on a crag that is so close to the city. If you want less people, you need to get out of the city.

Nope, I understand completely, and you're still wrong.

There are crags/routes that close to the city that are less busy, but they are the ones with no Internet details and no guidebook details. Some of their names appear earlier in this thread.

Guidebook, no. Internet, a bit. And some of the time, you just get lucky.

I was up yesterday afternoon (Sunday, blue sky, hot) and there was only one party taking turns climbing a single route.

That's because people go to Squamish on weekends. What about weekday afternoons?

No idea .. I'm at work on weekday afternoons.

Weekday evenings, I've never had trouble getting on a route or three.

New route forum. Mike and I will print a pdf version of all the climbing at Cypress , about 17-18 routes in total. A great place on these hot ,dog days of august.
