    Great steep climbing with tricks to sustained Crux. Then adventure in the corner to outstanding arete climbing on the paradise wall.
  • 5.12d
    I had a good bunch of sessions on it. Memorable early lead go; my first time with gear racked in order ;It was rad to drop in bomber nuts so fast then go into climbing mode. A later top rope solo session where I made a sequence I was proud of and hikers cheered at the perfect time thanks! Later the fall from the crux bulge was to hard for me and senja told me about a perfect photo on richwheater.com with gear beta; the crux fall is mellow with that extra bomber nut. Last day highlight when I felt ready to lead it! On send go I got my heal stuck under the roof and had to improvise! Thanks for the long belay support Shilpa!

    Outstanding! Surprise holds to discover on a blond headwall. A nice multi pitch adventure with old man winter that day. He flashed after I took on the first go. Could be a/b? Expect the 11 pitch to get to forgotten dream belay to feel hard.
  • 5.12b
    When the topo says excellent at the Lost pillar they are not messing around! Wonderful technical shallow dihedral with just enough hand holds to load the teeny feet. It was nice too take the stick clip to get the Crux draw on.
  • 5.12d
    The most fitting name for a rock climb ever. I was saved by the kneebars again and again, my red point Crux is the second last move. It was a adventure in how worked I could be and still give another go later. Criss f is right , that right up is what got me psyched on the climb and it's all true.

    good rock with shit sections, and high first bolt with a mystery run out-why? we will never know. rpe 7

    first climb at a new spot for me! got my hart pumping with a too high to stick clip first bolt then some committing climbing above a slabby grove. the top is good sport climbing for sea to sky, an Barley adventure. rpe 9

    Do you like the vertical bouldering at the gym? This is an adventure in featured granite trickery. Like big slopers and comfortable edges? You will not be disappointed! Another gem by peter winter, last climb on the left of upper wall. I used a stick clip and an jumar to find the holds and sequence and sent next go. ! In any case a fine day out for me.

    With ferry reservation looming and I almost fell on the 12a part. Best weather of the trip. I went with a horizontal lip traverse right at 33meters too a knee bar rest. Nice to put this unfinished business to rest. the swing out on cleaning is clear through the trees; perfect!

    What a journey from what it felt like working to send. After a few raining rest days it felt possible! After another another one send. So little climbing this trip but I sent the coolest tick list I've done. Also neat to camp with parents.
  • 5.13a
    First day of vacation! I had a really good day. Right knee pad used. The climbing up to the last boulder problem fit me so well! Thanks for the perfect black footholds everyone!
  • 5.13a
    Nice to jump back in after wrist got better over the last 3 months. The specific beta nessesary is a treat to find and use. Video of working and send is fun to review. Also the bottom 2 bolts always feel hard!
  • 5.12b
    This resend is truly wothy of coming back to.
  • 5.12c
    Little did I know! Bust though the steep and into a proper mystery as the top washes clean. Does your way use thumb only moves?
  • 5.12b
    Clasic enduro sport climbing on good stone. Welcome to the new Squamish gym. Nice to see a few people on it before my turn.
  • 5.12b
    Good climbing in a good position
  • 5.12d
    Thanks to Peter for the prepared route! It Feels like classic boulder problems stacked. Climbed from the ground to the fixed corner of dark lord; 70m rope just reaches the ground.
  • 5.11d
    cool big moves to Side pulls and edges that must be taken in a specific way. good climbing movement.
  • 5.12b
    I started from the stump and climbed the right bolt line through the headwall. it was a rich experience having to find all the holds and work out sequences. belayer hides from footholds.
  • 5.12c
    Big thanks to Joshua for help remembering all the moves! I like all the tension required for the wide hands connected to technical footwork.
  • 5.11c
    After dabing across the crack on first try I stayed on the prow with what felt like v3-4 arret moves. I say 11d would be fair without tick marks.
  • 5.12d
    Rad climbing up a overhung arret feature with just enough opposition to work. Good stone. The fa and toby used tiny sharpe holds to make a moon Board like sequence that I would not try;those guys are monsters!. The out left to the arret felt like 12+ classic!.
  • 5.13a
    Could this be an early birthday present? Not bad for this aspiring old guy. I climbed from the 12a on the right and milked the rest before starting out the mother of dragon. Part of the majic comes from having good options for partners to try from the same belay.
  • 5.12b
    cool section of compretion climbing on half moon sidpulls and underclings. gets pumpy. peter's topo says 12b, but 12a is written in chalk at the belay. what do you think? it is good climbing worth returning to.
