bigwalling Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'm looking for any info on the regular A3+ route going up the Badge in Squamish. Any info on the route or rack would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 hi jake you are always asking for information on aid routes but you never tell us anything how many of these aid routes are you doing? can we have a TR or are you just dreaming of aid?

bigwalling Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'm not really into sharing a bunch(kinda bragging). Me and a few guys are planning on doing the Badge in April. I'm planning on doing the other routes I've asked about this spring and summer. I'm only 16 and depend on my parents driving me up to Index or Squamish, so it is kinda hard to climb when I want to. I'll post some pics or maybe a bit of a T.R. Here is me at I know it is of an easy aid climb. But I normally forget my camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwalling, I'd be happy to let you know if I am headed to the crag or elsewhere this summer to see if you need a ride.

Lambone Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 That's cool bigwalling, I'm glad your getting after it at a ripe age. Just don't bite off more than your ready to chew. I won't tell you what you are ready for or not, you gotta figure that out for yourself. My only suggestion is to work up to hard aid slowly, thats what I am doing at least... With most rating systems, the + in A3+ means that the pitch has bad rock or bad fall potential. Either are not fun to deal with if is your first A3 pitch. If it is "new wave" A3+ pitch, which it could be if it is a relatively new route, then you could be looking at lots of hard hooking, small heading, and BIG whipper potential. Anyway, just letting you know what you might be infor on a route on the Badge. But I shouldn't talk because I've never actually climbed at Squamish! Good luck man, use your head!

Travis Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Not sure, but I think the approach pitches would be a bit tricky when wet so I'd be interested to hear how it goes as well. I've only free-climbed the easy one in that area though. Here's someone's TR. http://www.matthewbuckle.net/climb/tripreports/deepend.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hey Cavey, read the Matthew Buckel report. I think he mentions something about bad hooks and small heads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjizzy Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 That Matt guy only talks about the fourth pitch (third aid pitch). The first aid pitch is good, and the second has some hard hooking with a ledge fall potential. Above the seem the pitch to the roof did not have any particulary bad rock. The roof is a mind blower, and kinda loose. Above are lots of bolts and rivets, on a very steep headwall. It took Doug Klewin and I three bivies in somewhat bad weather In fact we thought we would have to down-nail the roof and bail. Such are my 21 year old memories. PM me your address, and I will mail you a topo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
