The Lorax – 5.13a

Squamish > Cheakamus Canyon > The Monastery

20m / 66ft, 8 bolts

Description:

A bouldery start leads into a mid-pitch rest. From there, trend into either the crimpy left line or the powerful right line. No matter which option you choose, both return into the redpoint crux to the chains. Very popular, and a classic line at the Monastery.

Fun route. Fell several times after the final bolt. I went left at the low crux and left at the high crux. I found that beta to be the easiest/highest percentage, but the route is probably higher quality climbing if you go right-right.

7 sessions, 19 attempts this season, 6 sessions, 16 attempts last season; total over 25 attempts, nice to finally put this thing to bed today. Thanks to all the support over the years. I love this route!!

Stoked! Multiple ways to do both cruxes which is very cool. Ended up going dyno method on 2nd crux - I'm 5'5 and I know it looks far, it did for me too at first, but go for it!!

Truly one of my climbing highlights. Clipping the chains on this one felt special.

I found so many places to fall repeatedly all over this climb 😅. Such a good climb though, so stoked to put it down.

After the redpoint crux spat me off around the same move every time, finding some extra efficiency tidbits was key. Stoked!!

100% humidity, actively pouring raining/ snowing (80mm today!), and semi dry rock. An actual miracle crag. I had to fight the numb hands more then the pump on this one. Loved the sequences and the nice, comfy holds on this one. Super fun route. My favourite route Ive done in Squamish so far!

wow such a fantastic climb, and pumpy as hell! everyone seems to find their very own unique beta for both cruxes, but either way it takes some power. I'd almost given up on trying it when it went today. super psyched to send

Niiice. I don't know if everyone does what I did, but the moves pulling the first little roof thing were SUPER cool. Hung out on the jug rest higher up for a long time trying to decide how to proceed. Luckily it all worked out.
