Show Beta
-
James Howell: When you hit the right toe, do a deep flag with your left to match the final hold. -
Siqing: If you're short and/or flexible, try to bring a high heel to the dish before the big move. You'll be surprised!
-
Jordan Pryce: Toe-hook the slopey dish to readjust on the match to topout easier -
andrewsimpson: Tall beta. BF.
-
adelaidekim: Don't bother in the summer -
nevtrik: Heel for the last jug match -
nathanchow: After many, many frustrating attempts, I found it easier to campus the last half of the problem. It went like third go that way. 🤔 -
will: Two hands matched with a heel hook on same hold. Bump right hand high right. Bring left to match and campus the rest
-
nickbruce: Starting with a heel on the start simplifies the first few moves and stops your feet cutting -
Ivan Luo: set a good heel hook -
Celina Meza: girl beta-bump to a super high heel before moving out right for the final hold. keep left heel until right foot is on the final foot chip before topout.
-
Doug Bourks: Did it like a tall fella
-
Mathew Leroux: Just campus... -
Greg Bauch: had to use a high left heel or toe scum to get the distance out right.

Finally put the climb down and can understand the easy chair hype. Feels like a big step forward in my little Squamish progression as a boulderer.

heel hooks and slopers rock -
Yay! Finally got around to completing this.
-
classic, good heels
-
Looks kinda bad climbs pretty nice, still psyched! -
-
-
-
Definitely Squamish
-
3.5. Ouch my skin -
Burly for the grade, I think. Compared to Superfly down the way this was definitely harder. -
Fun climb! One of those that looks tough but climbs surprisingly nice once you're on it

another climb I couldn't do as a kid. did it first try after all these years -
-
I actually managed to climb a boulder 🤯 -
-
Upper body power all the way, happy to put down what I couldn't do three years ago.
-
-
-
Sinking into the slopers in sequence was chef's kiss.
-
After many sessions of only trying it at the end of a bouldering day, I finally got it. -
-
Squamish classic!
-
first true outdoor project, super fun classic

can't remember if i tried this in 2018 but either way i'm taking it
-
-
65 degrees, humid, polished, what more do you need?
-
Love hate this
-
Dayflashed my old nemesis. Didn't use a high heel hook, just switched from a heel to a toe on the start hold and somehow it went. Surprised!
-
-
Flashed, it's also a good warm-up at the entrance
-
2023-06-01 -
like a million tries later. Good way to get your hands in sloper shape. would have rated it 1 star but now that I got it I feel differently

2023-01-24one of the best boulders I've ever climbed. magical in the fall. repeated it probably 10-15 times, every time I went to the grand wall. -
-
Night send! Slopers feel great in the cold
-
Good condies at 0 degrees.
-
-
-
-
Learned a lot on this boulder. Felt absolutely impossible until it was below 20 degrees lol. Once I had the micro beta it was really fun! -
My first V4 send! Took two sessions to figure out a correct beta that works for me. Getting the correct move order was really important for me. Sent it on the second attempt on my 3rd session. What a fun climb!
-
-
Got complacent with the heel at the start and did not set it as well as I could have. Second go. Not sure it’s worth the hype.
-
2022-09-30
-
2022-09-26What a problem. Tons of little learnings led me to sending this puppy.
-
I thought this was too difficult for me on my first session cause I'm not a sloper person but a very nice climber pointed out some microbeta and it became possible. A very satisfying send after trying it for a couple sessions! Btw did anyone else feel the bicep pain climbing this?
-
Deserves all the hype. Definitely a Squamish V4 test piece. Loved it, worth repeating whenever I’m here next. -

Overrated and an example of a boulder that has been loved to death. Still, iconic and glad to surmount. Blew the flash because I didn't know about the foot out right to swing to.
-
2022-08-04 -
Amazing! Loved it. Slopers are my jam.
-
-
Split my left big toe and nail a couple nights before from tripping on a tree root. Used Andrews leuko tape and size 45 TC pro to try this left heel only problem and it went 😂
-
-
Somehow this was one of the only climbs I could do with my injury… forced to finally give this some proper work and it was ACTUALLY GOOD

Classic Squamish V4.
-
-
Third day trying this bouldering nonsense. Thanks for the beta Jeff.
-
-
Improvement from when I first touched it years back. Will this ever feel Easy -
-
-
Stunning boulder, a typical slopper lip traverse boulder. Probably condition dependent as it's on sloppers!
-
2022-05-16
-
Pretty good
-
Good movement, good slopers, and good landing
-
-
Retro send from last season. Not bad for a first day of bouldering this year. An absolute Squamish classic
-
2022-04-16

Yup. Classic -

Really fun slapping and heelhooking. 2nd -

2021-08-18 -
Unsure when I first sent this, repeated for the logbook.
-
Fun
-
-
2021-08-07
-
Super polished now, but still an awesome line. Did it twice for both the right and left exits. -
My favourite part was when the cute dog ran under me -
Finally got it. Always shut this one down in my mind because the high heel was really tough with my old back injury. No longer! One of my favourite routes. Now it's a warm-up just like for everyone else haha!
-
-
Finally with the high heel -
-
Took me some time.
-
2021-06-19 -
Great boulder! -
-
Ate crow. Such fun movement! -
Campusing is way easier than heel hooking
-
Headlamp send for the friction -
-
-
Obvi a very fun climb. Feels really hard on humid days. And floaty on a dry day.
-
Squamish right of passage? Classic. -
Fun! -
2021-02-27

A fun, slopey rail to a deceiving jug, only the chosen can campus this problem.
-
A day flash that was 3 years in the making. Key beta is to not leave this as the last climb of your day. -

2018-12-20
-
Finally sent this after so coming so close on so many sessions. Definitely one of the a classic most fun boulder problem in Squamish.
-
Such a fun climb and so easy to get to. Helps to have flexibility, but if you have long reach you might not need it lol.
-
2018-09-24
-
-
-
Didn't love it. -
-
Took a while to find the right slopers to trust. The feature on the right arete is great. -
-
-
-
Not my idea of a good time. Maybe in winter it would be fun with friction. -
-
2018-07-10 -

Got too eager, blew the flash
-
-
2018-07-01 -
Slurpers -
Slopers and left heel hooks for daysssss -
-
yay -
Finaly got it after forever :)) Not my favourite climb but worth doing if you like heel hooks -
-
2018-06-15Sick! Finally put some time in on this great classic. :) -
Seems harder than a V4. Maybe it was at one point before it became super polished?
-
2018-06-11Said I would never climb this due to the wrist pain it causes, but I spent too much time sitting beside it today... Then got it second try. -
-
-
-
Pretty neat little boulder, makes sense that literally everyone bouldering in Squamish comes here. Jeremy got bitten by some stupid girl's dog while we were here. Part of the 100 V point challenge

Single session-ed, happy I didn't have to work on this slippery classic for long -

First climb in Squamish, getting on the classics! Greasy traverse! Heel hooking is what keeps you on! -
Getting pretty smooth in the middle
