Holy Crap... a 500 ft fall down a steep choss gulley. Im glad everybody is okay.

Still looks fun.. I dont care if it is an FA or not... I also wouldnt mind trying the South Pillar of Rexford's False Summit.... as long as I can climb that 5.11 crack... if I fall off too much I could always aid it.. but thats not my style

Hey Dru... last time I went up the trail there I saw some cool looking lines on the cliff above the trail. What do you think about climbing putting up a route on that??? It looked pretty fun when I was looking at it.

Breaking down climbs helps me a lot too. Instead of being like 'OMG its goiung to take 3 hours to slog up this cree slope', think, 'OK I can get to that rock in 10 minutes' that helps . Joe Simpson talks about this thinking when he was crawling out from Suila Grande with a broken leg...

Crossover descent would be soooo easy right now with the snow. I was checking it out a few weeks ago when I did crossover

Karakoram???? Alaska

I am seriously confused about why a handcrack is called 'thin fingers' I didnt see much finger jammin happening in the vid..

Labour Days looks pretty good but expect it to be sandbagged. I think the guide says 5.5 or 5.6 but I heard there is some 5.7 crack climbing. Its about the same size as the Nesakwatch Spires so it shouldnt be too long. Another option is to do the SE ridge of Crossover's East Peak... I posted a TR on it a few weeks ago. Its a bit easy though, about the same as North Nesawkatch Spire. I personally think it would be nicer to stay at the Rexford Bivi site and climbing the SW ridge of the north spire. Its about 5.9 and Ithink it has 6 or 7 technical pitches, looks like a super good line.

thats a sweet line... i think its funny that its called 'thin fingers' when it looks mostly like a hand crack

stop arguing and just climb at Squamish...

HZu1KXubB1g&feature=related Joe Perry/Brad Whitford/ Aerosmith rock!

Joe Perry of Aerosmith - love the style he plays, interesting slides and stuff with cool melodies and rythm. You dot realize just how good he is until you try to play one of his solos!

shut your fucking fucks you fucked up fucking fuckers! Why the fuck do you have to fucking say the fucking 'fuck' word so fucking much you dumb fucks. All the stupid fucking shitty ass swear words you fucking guys fucking say fucking piss me off!

60 degree overhangs are the best walls in the world! good work out, challenging routes, builds core strength and is much longer than a vertical wall.

BTW.. that was a fun looking solo.. whats the grade?

Yeah, Im glad I'm 15.... but seriously, when I was 11 I was climbing 5.12+ and 5.13 indoors and regularily flashing gym 5.12s.. I went outside and almost shit my pants on a well protected 5.10c and couldnt crack climb 5.9

haha... its great when these 5.12 climbers come outdoors and cant do the 5.9 crack climbs and get scared shitless on the 6 foot runouts

If you have a 4x4 the road is fine to the trailhead on the E side.. the west side road is gated right at chilliwack lake road. Im sure the pocket glacier is going to be sending chunks of ice down the mountain still and It wont be a while until it slides... Im also sure that once you are on NEB it will be dry and snowfree with snow to melt at the bivi platform

yep.. everything except for SW gulley looked dry

Yeah, Ty and I climbed this route no problem via the north face Wow.. more badass climbers of the highest caliber^

Thanks for the info! I wouldnt mind climbing that route soon. If you ever want to go there and do Speedway again let me know. It may be nice having someone thats done the route before with me so I dont get lost ...

AYE! AYE! AYE! x 1000000

my sister has spray on tan

Im eating Macaroni, Im also drinking grapefruit juice.. its good. Im going to have more macaroni.

lol.. its my first real alpine multipitch route... the most I have done is like 3 pitch cragging routes and easy low 5th stuff like Nesakwatch Spires and Rexford. If you just follow the most obvious lines of least resistance you just end up at the next belay... I think if someone relied on books and shit to keep them on track they would be more likely to get lost. But your 'opiniated description' is excellent.. It fell out of my pocket on pitch 7 but It would be hard to get lost on the final pitches cuz you just follow big corner cracks and bolts... I want to go back and do Speedway soon.. is speedway any harder than Yak Check? Y.C was all easy climbing but the rock was a little bit crappy for about a pitch or so and the pro is adequate. If your not confident at leading or the climb was at the limit if your abilities then it may be a bit scary but I dont think you would die or get too hurt if you fell in mostof those spots.... I heard that Speedway has some mega runouts on it though???
