Standard Squish Aid Rack

[psychedelic]

I'll get on it this spring if you haven't done it yet. I only really want to climb stuff in a day tho, no bivies.

Psychedelic and PAW,

Thanks for the info guys. There's some really useful stuff in this thread.

[PAW]

in a day sounds good. I haven't always succeeded in day ascents in squamish, but rather go light then haul the pigs anyday.
Drop me an email or pm

what about the gear rack suggestion in the mclane guide for UNDERTHEGUN.

Seems like a really small rack. Lots of bolts between the gear or just scarry hooking????

I have heard that Cobra Corner is one of the hardest pitches in Squamish, obviously this is not felt by everyone. Anyone with experience want to comment.

I also read a resume of Alex Lowe one time and he referenced Up from the Skies as A5, old school is my thought but maybe some conversation can come out of this.

Ask matt about the rack I think he did the 2nd. He is super helpful with stuff!
