- 5.10aRusty bolts âïž runouts âïž suspect rock âïž forgot to wear my helmet âïž kids power screaming on easy stuff across the creek âïž 10m from last bolt to chains âïž yep, must be Cougar Canyon!!
- 5.8Gonna go for the gear send next time #5.8lifeee
- 5.10aTom says I got the "full meal deal" today đ€ź
- 5.10aThis didn't set me up well to get blasted by The Winds of Winter @ Jughaul Wall. The hot tub @ the rec center was a life saver tho đ
- 5.10a âOne of those rando routes that nobody does but it's Skaha so it's obviously good. Better than the other 10's nearby for sure.
- 5.10dI thought I was on the 10b but accidentally climbed this route and was caught off guard by how thin the holds were. The runout at the top isn't hard but is still kinda dangerous. Classic sustained old-school face climbing. Not a gimme. Ended up in bushes and moss near the top because I mantled early and got my rope stuck in a shrubbery. Almost died on what I thought was a 10b! Heavens!
- 5.12aBack in the saddle just in time for the season to be over! đ„Č A good catch from B-Dizzy. Double send day with Tom Bombadil. Shirtless sunny weather. All sorts of hootin' and hollerin' from the top of Air Test. Trail Mix. Smoothies. Rally car racing through the McDonald's drive thru. Win some, lose some. Cold mornings, warm afternoons. Crawling across ledges. Giving dead Pikas proper burials. Doctors canceling appoitments. Doctors begging to reschedule. The Five-O are everywhere brah. Yippie! The Wheel of Time keeps spinning, it just goes on and on and on. Next!

5.11aGimme that old time screamin' and a-shoutin'! Go up, tell it on the mountain! Faith too strong to be left doubtin.' Way of the triune God! I don't need the pills you take just to feel the spirit movin! Brother, I ain't slept in days, all without the drugs you're usin'. Fit me for the builder's use, use me for the great commission. As it was and always will, as it is, I'm here to witness. Old time screamin' and a-shoutin', go up, tell it on the mountain! Faith too strong to be left doubtin'! Way of the triune God! - 5.11dYe olde nemesis put to rest with relative ease!đșA plethora of gym holds always makes sending more feasible. Definitely a feel-good crag! Holla to B-dizzy for the catch đ„ž
- 5.11aEasier as a warm-up than as the 10th climb of the day đ«Ą
- 5.10cGood day out w/ T-fleur, wife and theboys. Fave part was the beautiful blue weather and the sweet, arid fall breeze. Maybe next time I'll send Shadowlands đ„Č until then I will continue to #flail đ
- 5.11bWarm-up revenge from last weekend. Still managed to get myself in a Bulgarian body lock (not the ufc kind) @ the crux. Fortunately, I've been doing some hip dance stretchys this week and whilst stuck I performed some weird stuff and achieved a send. Then I went on to fall 4 times on Shadowlands and 3 times on 3 different 11a. Leah and I were trying to raise our same-day send grade from 10c to 11a but my hips said no. Beauty day and I rejoice in my position of making everyone else look good đ
- 5.10aCongrats to Leah who got the FFDA on this climb. She says it goes at 5.10b/c without stemming. Go Leah!
- 5.10dA great reunion day with TF! We both struggled up this thing... he's tired because he just finished the Ironman. I'm tired because I'm 110% sure I used the most disgusting beta ever on a send of this climb. But like they say in Azerbajan... "A bucket's a bucket!"
- 5.11aGot a case of the ol' wapati campground chicken wings on go #1. After I came down and slept 13 more hours I sent it first try. Probably only 5.9 if you avoid wapati. Here's to me and Flockter Florian sending the crag by 2037. Yip yip!
- 5.10dSick platform... kinda gets in the way of the low start tho LoL đ„Č
- 5.10bI thought this route was fantastic. They even like it at wapati campground and they don't like anything there.
- 5.10aO i c
- 5.10aA teaser for the extension of dreams!
- 5.11aBack @ the back of the lake with Doc D but we were all 170 in the Tessy all the way from Sammy and swerving and rapping: 'AND DOC D SAID NOTHING YOU IDIOT DOC D'S DEAD HE'S LOCKED IN MY BASEMENT' and lake louise is where it all began for me and it shall continue to the 5th dimension! We just gettin' started đ
