north face is probably a bit easier than the east, so if youve done that you should be ready for the east...
-
ok, so since nobody got the last ones, we'll try again. these ones are a bit more obvious.
woah cool! the only noteable shit ive done in squamish was the zip but i had my shoes on
-
yeah thats pitch 2 of the bubbas start to plw, the pic earlier was from the orginal start

yeah mark ive got iron with your name on it if you need! the last pitch is prolly the crux keeps comeing at ya with rotten pin stacks galore A2 my ass... okay one more smith pic
-
mark, you got it, its the east face
-
hemp named the drillen one, no need to combine them as they are now independent lines. i added a bolt and anchor to the right to revelations, it now has its own finish and people wont set up 3 trs off the same anchor.
piss fog and rain in the background of that last one

next
-
ha damn i thought this one would be more obvious...
is it the route you added a bolt to, so they don't share the last bolt anymore? ( forgot name )
is this game really over?
yeah you got that part right... keep this alive i know ive got a few more, though this is making me wish i climbed with a camera a lot more.

Damnit, Steins should never be considerd a sport climbing destination. This is a sacred Ochoco Indian site, leave the power drills at home.

anybody ever seen a carabiner break? seems like if it's not loaded across the gate or bent over an edge this would be pretty rare.
I've broken a few funking out pitons, but this is mabey 1 every year doing so, so pretty excessive use as a funk biner. Usually the metal starts to deform before it breaks.

Bill brings up a great point. Aid ratings are so subjective... I did some stuff in the Valley rated C3+ and found it to be way way mellower than some of the clean aid I've done at Smith rated around C3. Like the original first pitch of the PLW I had heard went clean at C3 or some bull shit like that... There I was 60 feet off the deck with nothing but a bunch of crap micro nuts so I nailed a beak and a LA. Shame shame I know... but if there really is such a thing as C3 I think it deserves an A2 rating along with it. I never once have felt the need to nail on the east face, nor had anything to nail. So mabey its just head games but to me real deal A3/C3 gets me scared to the point where I love welding pins, anything I feel I wasn't scared on is A2/C2 or below... Thanks for letting me rant about aid climbing
