-
Noah Letkemann: foot pressure on the left, and smear hard in with the right leg as you cross to the pinch. -
Kim McGrenere: LH on the start hold, RH in a twisted reverse-grip on arete. LH to the arete and then bumps to the wide pinch. Awesome.
-
colebarber: Crux: RH on Arete High, LH cross to an amazing 4 inch pinch.
-
Tucker Webb: Crazy beta made it easier for me. Wrist twister ;) -
courtneymiyamoto: higher pinch just under the pinch you cross to

took me a lot of effort to get this one. -
One of the most pure, gorgeous features on the Earth. This felt almost as hard as the 7s today, love the palm pinching!
-
Day flash! Let’s go! -
Old nemesis went in a few goes. Feels good man. -

Awkward meathooks on the fin and super glassy feet. But pretty fun and beautiful boulder. -
2nd or 3rd try. Very sick feature. I liked the meat wraps and the wide pinch. I can underwear and why it’s a top 100. Loved this one

Campus beta is clutch.
-

-
So fun! -
Several attempts on dis. Started with a high right hand and a left hand on the crimp. Good to do something after all the boys crushed their highballs
-
Sweet line, had some trouble making the move to the bomber pinch, but the rest is straightforward.
-
-

dreams do come true. -

Awesome! Maybe V3?

Visually pleasing. Physically unpleasing.

Excellent. I'm proud of this send. -

Finally came back to this one after a few years and it went really easily! Such a sick line.
-
-
First V5. All about that foot.
-
2020-07-25Use the right thumb before the cross! -
-
Too painful for my wrist to even pull on last year. Pleasantly surprised.
-
Amazing pinch amid a sharp and unpleasant problem.
-
Outstanding, super fun climb! -
such a cool feature! the beta isn't obvious

Start was the hardest part of this one. As soon as I stuck that move, I sent. Helped to be told, "Pretend that you can't trust any of your feet at the top." Staying mostly on my arms made the top not difficult. -
Came back to this thing today, years after I first tried it. Super hard until it’s easy. I now get why it’s top 100
-
Sent 3rd go, awesome! -
sick line.

-
Looks cool, but only one interesting move.

The perfect pinches don't exis........ Nevermind. -

Satisfying 4 inch pinch.

This is a top rated climb for a good reason. A good mix of abilities needed to send. -
-
First v5 in squamish! An unexpected beta makes this problem feels a grade lower...gotta try the original sequence next time!
-
Dope pinch. Pretty easy if you're a burlyman. -
3rd try. Not gonna lie, I just powered through it :-) -
Finally!!! Once I figured out the beta it felt like a 3. I honestly thought I would never send. -
Solid top 100 v5. Felt harder than v5 while learning the unusual moves but in retrospect it felt about right. Fun.
-
Did it twice, with two different starts.
-
Took me a while to get off the ground. Fun climb and really cool looking feature. I don't think the movement is five star though.
-
-
Felt more like a 3...

seems a little soft.2nd go -

This climb is amazing! The best climb I've been on in Squamish. Could never pull off the ground for 3 years until I found beta that worked.

Repeat from waaaay back.

A classic.
-
World class -
coolest start grip ever
-
-
Took me a while to get the cross pinch. So stoked to cross this off the list!
-
Used crazy backwards beta that made the problem feel like a V3 -
Took me several sessions to send this one. Found the cross to the pinch very difficult. Very aesthetic climb. -

Not 100% sure if I flashed it; tried to pull on before watching someone and couldn't get my feet off the ground, then did it right after. Anyways, quite fun with great holds.

2015-07-25Finally! Such a low percentage 1st move for me, then cruiser to the end. -

Last year I couldn't get off the ground on this one! Psyched on this send!
-
I thought this would take a lot of work to get, but it went on the first try of the day! Stoked!!!
-
Super fun. Hadn't warmed up yet, so really hard to pinch the first holds. -
last day, last go, last bits of light. epic. goodbye squamish. i love you.

Felt like the hardest one of the grade ever. But then I realised that I shouldn't really use my feet. Oh.

First 5 in the grandwall
-
One mover, truly classic squamish -
-
the topout is fun, the start is greasy and nasty. -
-
Easier for tall people who can reach to the pinch better but the start becomes quite scrunchy. Still a lot of fun
