The Incredible Journey – 5.12a

Squamish > Cheakamus Canyon > Forgotten Wall

30m / 98ft, 14 bolts

Description:

An incredible route. 3 distinct cruxes with good rests. May feel stiff for the grade without beta.

3 tie ins to send before the sun went down. The 1st and 3rd cruxes are extra cruxy if you are 5 ft. Amusing 2nd crux. Nice to get back on this when I couldn’t even get past the first crux a few years ago.

Just love this climb. It’s a shame about all the no hands rests, but the bits in between are awesome!

Really nice line. Amazing rock quality for Chek. This was an incredible journey! The beginning was soaked and so was the end but managed to get my way through withought freezing. Thank goodness for those rest spots. I had a friend shouting out some beta at me but I had to be creative and avoid the wet streaks

Thought it was cryptic at the top until I found the holds. Interesting climbing broken up by full no hands rests.

I waited to try this climb for YEARS because of its reputation. It certainly was a (nails hard) incredible journey - this route has everything. Pretty sure I was close to puking in the second boulder problem... thanks to Dan for hanging the draws, and Graham for the beta help on the go :)

So many meters. Like 3 times the height a boulderer should ever consider doing. I think my belayer took a nap while I rested.

Hard to onsight as you can't see some of the cruxy sections until you are on them. Should have done it second try but my sloppy footwork shut me down on an easy move. fixed my feet and sent it third go.

Great line... 3 distinct and very different cruxes. Thankfully there are good rests and moderate climbing between each of the bouldery sections.

Just a bunch of chill boulders stacked on top of each other with great rests. The pressure builds up though. Boulders were all very very fun, though.
