Squamish Tick List (gear)

[Doc]

What do you think are the top 3 or 4 gear routes in Squamish (and why)?

[t-bone]

Thanks a tough question but here are my 3 picks:

EASY: Angel's Crest
MEDIUM: Grand Wall
HARD: Freeway

[stick]

I think Rock on should be on the list also .... when it's dry that is

i forgot to add why!!
mushroom cause it is never busy, and it's a nice length (20m), it' great rock, and the gear is excellent! and it's the perfect width! and if you don't know how to jam, it can feel a bit harder than a .9!! imo.
rainy day cause it is never busy, looks like shite from the ground, but when you get past the easy wide section then it pinches down to what i think is the best jamming in squamish!! excellent gear w/ rock more reminiscent of the backside!!

freeway because it is one of the most onsightable "hard" gear routes in squamish! almost all the cruxes start off some kind of jug or ledge, are very short, and finish on some kind of rest! and it's not nearly as steep as it looks from the bottom! albeit easier, i think the grand wall (per pitch) is pumpier than freeway. and the pitch after the roof is hard to beat for exposure!

and the daily planet cause it's got one of the best 1st pitches anywhere, w/ a sport climbing bolt protected crux on the first pitch, and a no hands rest before it!! lol. and the climbing is significantly steeper than 90% of other multi pitch routes at squamish!!!
